The world has witnessed a tremendous upsurge in the popularity of DevOps. Organizations can act smarter, collaborate faster, and deliver better with DevOps in place. As organizations are embarking on the path of digital transformation, DevOps has become more critical than ever. If you look at the reports, the DevOps market is ready to reach anywhere around USD 66 billion by 2033.
More and more companies are implementing DevOps methodology in their business workflow as they have realized its essence, and the rest are on the verge of becoming DevOps-driven. This blog will help you understand the latest DevOps trends accelerating innovation, disruption, and digitization in 2024.
Infrastructure as code is more than automation and has become essential in DevOps. IaC takes infrastructure including servers, networks, and storage devices (on-premises or in the cloud), and it is a means to manage IT infrastructure through configuration files. Some of the key benefits of IaC include full speed while setting up a complete infrastructure by running a script, consistency in deploying the same configurations, accountability, traceability, and high efficiency during the entire software development cycle.
As per the report, cloud-based deployment held a 65.2% share of its market presence in 2023. This indicates a cloud adoption trend that is affecting the DevOp strategies in 2024 and beyond. With on-demand resource scaling, flexibility with tool integration, and cost-effective resource management, the cloud offers great advantages for DevOps.
With comprehensive cloud strategies, the DevOps team can also ensure adherence to agile processes while offering unhindered support for technologies like AI/ML, IoT, SaaS, and more. This means that DevOps teams need to be more proactive in their cloud roadmap for better efficiency.
Cloud-native technology use in DevOps increased by 30% over the past year.
The report also shows a growing appeal for DevSecOps as security concerns rise in 2024. One of the prime reasons for adopting DevOps was its security benefits. However, with attacks like ransomware, DDoS, and data breaches affecting businesses across industries, CISOs readily embrace the DevSecOps model for its “security first” approach. While there are DevSecOps that integrates security and compliance testing into the development pipelines.
It provides swiftness in speed and agility in security mechanisms, prompts responses towards change, and leads to quick detection of vulnerabilities and bugs in code. Despite a lot of ongoing myths around DevSecOps, CISOs are focusing on its security benefits for their modern organizations in 2024.
DevOps teams dedicate 54% of their time to observability, monitoring, and security.
Among the many cloud considerations in DevOps, the primary has to be multi-cloud. There is intense competition among the leading cloud providers—AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. However, the appeal of AWS comes with concerns about vendor lock-in. Therefore, efforts from Azure and GCP to offer multi-cloud capabilities are being seen as a positive step by many businesses.
This means that DevOps 2024 is also welcoming multi-cloud strategies for agility and cost-optimization.
Most use public clouds for DevOps, with many also adopting hybrid and multi-cloud strategies.
The DevOps team can use AI and ML to facilitate their workflow. Businesses are already making a move to AIOps to optimize the DevOps environment for AI adoption. Handling and managing big data is a cumbersome task that requires an AI-driven approach in DevOps. AI has now become a valuable tool that predominantly helps in the decision-making process in DevOps.
AI can assist DevOps through data accessibility has always been a significant concern. AI provides data seamlessly to the DevOps team as and when required in no time.
Adoption of DevOps automation tools like Jenkins and Ansible went up by 25%.
With Kubernetes, the developers can easily share different software and applications with the IT operations team in real-time. The primary reason for bugs and errors is the difference in the IT environment or infrastructure. Kubernetes helps in combating that hindrance and promotes collaboration and effectiveness between both teams.
Kubernetes is helping boost DevOps efficiency by improving development and accommodating features like continuous testing for faster time to market.
The survey conducted by Atlassian suggests positive sentiment for DevOps by 99% of businesses. This can be seen in correlation with businesses' emphasis on agile methodologies. In other words, 2024 continues to witness a symbiotic relationship between DevOps and agile practices.
Deployment frequency increased by 30% over traditional methods, reflecting higher agility.
The Agile DevOps team helps organizations when they are on the verge of migrating from traditional IT structure to Serverless Architecture, especially in the initial phases when IT support is of utmost need. After the migration gets done to the serverless platform, the DevOps team is left with minimal maintenance work.
DevOps is the only successful way to complete the migration process. The duo goes hand in hand with similar objectives and complements each other on various fronts.
Legacy systems and infrastructures are still being modernized owing to the integration and security challenges that arise during DevOps implementation. In 2024, with the acceptance for new technologies and innovations and the advent of DevSecOps, businesses are being more aggressively modernized for DevOps.
This modernization is also being done to fulfill compliance requirements as companies plan to expand.
We already talked about AI, but machine learning too is finding its own space in DevOps. The challenges in deploying and managing ML models are being met by MLOps. Extending DevOps for ML models, MLOps is ensuring that the CI/CD benefits are accommodative of model training, monitoring, and governance. Therefore, DevOps 2024 will see more integration with MLOps frameworks.
Once DevOps was a marketing keyword that everyone wanted to put on their website. Now, it has evolved into a whole ecosystem of its own that harnesses a host of other keywords like AIOps, MLOps, DevSecOps, CI/CD, and more. These trends in 2024 go on to prove that there’s a long road ahead for DevOps and as the businesses evolve, its scope is only going to expand in different directions.
