How can my Business understand DevOps for its cloud needs?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In January 2016, RightScale surveyed 1,060 technical professionals across a broad cross-section of organizations about their adoption of cloud computing. The company published its annual State of the Cloud Report on February 9, 2016.

 

The 2016 State of the Cloud Survey identified several key findings:

 

1. DevOps growing especially in the enterprise.
2. Docker usage doubles while Chef and Puppet are neck and neck.
3. DevOps users use multiple tools.
4. Container adoption is maturing, especially in enterprises.
5. Docker seeing greatest adoption in Europe, with tech companies, and with enterprises.
6. Significant interest in containers on bare metal.
7. Biggest challenge with containers is lack of experience for newbies.
8. Container focus in 2016 is education and experience.

 

The top container initiative in 2016 will be getting more educated (62 percent), followed by conducting more experiments with containers in dev/test (44 percent) and production (28 percent), as well as expanding container use in dev/test (28 percent).

For respondents who were experienced using containers, the most significant challenges were security (29 percent), technology not mature (29 percent), and lack of experience using containers (25 percent). For respondents who are not currently using containers, lack of experience was by far the top challenge (39 percent).

 

The 2016 State of Cloud Survey shows that interest in DevOps is increasing, while the adoption of Docker containers is spreading like wildfire. Unlike many previous technology shifts where enterprises adopt more slowly, enterprises are actually leading the way and adopting Docker more quickly than smaller organizations.
