“…The three main catalysts that propel its rapid adoption include: a) higher quality expectations from software as it is increasingly offered as a service in the cloud b) demands for rapid delivery of change with growing acceptance of agile and its change embracing attitude, and c) the availability of on-demand powerful and plentiful hardware on the cloud [2]. The uptake of the DevOps trend has been global [1]. Some large organizations claim to have successfully applied its practices in their distributed teams and achieved smooth team collaboration, shortened feedback loops and better customer collaboration [3].…”
Abstract-The DevOps phenomenon is gaining popularity through its ability to support continuous value delivery and ready accommodation of change. However, given the relative immaturity and general confusion about DevOps, a common view of expectations from a DevOps role is lacking. Through investigation of online job advertisements, combined with interviews, we identified key Knowledge Areas, Skills and Capabilities for a DevOps role and their relative importance in New Zealand's job market. Our analysis also revealed the global dimensions and the emerging nature of the DevOps role in GSE projects. This research adds a small advanced economy (New Zealand) perspective to the literature on DevOps job advertisements and should be of value to employers, job seekers, researchers as well educators and policy makers.

Development and operations (DevOps) practices significantly accelerate and automate the continuous delivery and deployment of software systems. However, adopting DevOps concepts is not a straightforward job. Most organizations are not able to keep pace with the rhythm of continuous delivery and deployment, which are key DevOps attributes. Despite the significance of DevOps programs, it is still unknown why software development firms are demotivated or unable to adopt them. We tried to fill this gap by investigating, prioritizing, and developing the taxonomy of the key factors that could impact the adaptation and implementation of DevOps practices. We extracted a total of 16 factors from the available literature and empirically assessed them using the survey approach. The identified factors are further classified into three core categories of the software process improvement (SPI) manifesto. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) approach was used to calculate the prioritization weight for each factor and present it as a taxonomy. The developed taxonomy provides a roadmap to tackle the key challenges to implementing DevOps and offers suggestions for streamlining DevOps practices.
In software industry, the DevOps is an increasingly adopting software development paradigm. Towards the sustainable DevOps adoption, there is a need to transform the organization´s Culture, Automation, Measurement and Sharing (CAMS) aspects concerning to core theme of continues development and operations. The software organizations face several complexities while implementing the DevOps principles. The sustainable DevOps implementation assist the software organizations to develop the quality projects with good return on investment. This evidence-based study aims to explore the guidelines of sustainable DevOps implementation, reported in literature and industry practices. Using systematic literature review and questionnaire survey, we identified the 48 guidelines for sustainable DevOps implementation. We further develop a decision-making framework aiming to assist the practitioners to consider the most significant set of guidelines on priority. The results show that out of CAMS, culture is the most important principle for sustainable DevOps implementation. Moreover, (i) enterprises should focus on building a collaborative culture with shared goals, (ii) assess your organization"s readiness to utilize a microservices architecture and (iii) educate executives at your company about the benefits of DevOps to gain resource and budget support are the highest priority guidelines for sustainable DevOps implementation. We believe that this in-depth study helps the practitioners to understand the core principles and guidelines for sustainable DevOps implementation.
