According to a portion of TechTarget´s ´Essential Guide: How to implement a successful SaaS business model,´ “DevOps is the blending of tasks performed by a company´s application development and systems operations teams…DevOps is an operational philosophy that promotes better communication between development and operations as elements become programmable. (While) DevOps describes the part of an organization´s information technology team that creates and maintains infrastructure…it may also be used to describe team(s) of software engineers, and cloud consulting companies who strategically look at the entire software delivery chain, overseeing shared services and championing the use of new development tools and best practices.”
While the description above suggests a larger perspective driven by today´s ´cloud systems´ as a primary operational advantage, in my view, the real story accrues to overall cultural changes that methodologies foster; and how ´cloud-based app engineers´ have been encouraged by DevOps and other approaches have become more effective knowledge-producers. In the event, then, the cloud consultant not only helps establish the enterprise train strategically but supports the design and creation of the tactical engine that pulls it; whether it applies to a simplified configuration container project or a full-fledged applications environment, encompassing global, all-scale functionalities.
