DevOps and Real World ROI

Abstract

During the 2016 Formula 1 season, it's not unusual for pit-stops to hover somewhere around the three-second mark. In rare instances, such as for the Williams F1 team at the 2016 European Grand Prix, the feat has amazingly been accomplished in less than two ticks of the clock.Wrap your mind around that idea for a moment. It will likely take you as long to digest the concept, and it certainly took longer to type out this sentence, than the amount of time required for a 15-20 member pit-crew to pounce on a stopping race car, lift it off the ground, swap four wheels and tires, and then drop it down to be sent on its way. Two seconds! 1 Quality Is Everyone's Responsibility Of course, this larger performance represents a complex chain of lesser events, mapped out and practiced relentlessly by highly-paid, full-time professionals-pit-crews whose sole job is to save their teams and drivers precious seconds that could result in a change in position, and in some cases even a victory.

DevOps benefits: A systematic literature review

“…22 This can help balance software quality with costs, helping organizations to have an increased return on investment. 66,67 To optimize the SDLC it is essential that operations can react quickly, helping developers have their environments stable, up and running. DevOps encourages operators to use the infrastructure as a code capability in order to help manage and configure environments more quickly and in a standardized way.…”

“…As discussed before, DevOps can help reduce costs by reducing bottlenecks in the SDLC, optimizing time to deploy changes in production and enabling better resource management 22 . This can help balance software quality with costs, helping organizations to have an increased return on investment 66,67 …”

Scalable, Flexible Implementation of MBSE and DevOps in VSEs: Design Considerations and a Case Study

“…DevOps implementations are very dependent on tools utilized and cost factors that are included. This is highlighted by the conclusion of Ravichandran et al that "current measurement of DevOps ROI remains somewhat nascent, and difficult"(Ravichandran et al 2016).…”
