Why it’s important to shift to a DevOps model of creating and deploying Internet Development and applications today. How does outsourcing affect this kind of performance? Are there any side effects of outsourcing DevOps and Agile?
Why DevOps and Agile are Winning the Market
The DevOps approach is fundamentally improving the ways and timelines for the development of IT products. Business owners realize that software has become the portal to producing and bringing solutions to market. New successful applications are becoming new profit channels, growing audiences, and customer bases.
DevOps’ forerunner was Agile. Thanks to agile, the team’s work became transparent and the customer could make changes as the work progressed. However, regarding this point, there are often split for and against opinions.
To resolve the conflict between the software development and project launch, the concept of DevOps was introduced to help the agile group. These two concepts are not identical and cannot replace each other, rather they work in sequence. While the first deals with operational development, the second involves all participants in the process.
The creation and deployment cycles can now be safely separated with various services for distant collaboration, such as cloud storage and different engineering solutions for DevOps.
The required level of support for product teams from specialists can be accomplished by organizing teams at the beginning of DevOps construction. In this way, teams can get a plan of action based on the capacity. In turn, feedback from product teams on DevOps practices helps build a better service and expand the functionality of such a platform.
Remote Work Model Using DevOps Outsourcing
Whether a team is in-house or outsourced doesn’t matter. The manifesto of the DevOps approach states that the priority is the quality result of the team’s work. To ensure service continuity, team players join forces.
It will cost a lot of money to create a full-time local team. If a business owner wants to reduce time to market, it’s better to turn to software outsourcing, while facing the following advantages and disadvantages:
Pros of Outsourced DevOps:
Usually, outsourced DevOps are already trained and don’t have to be taught from scratch. They already know how to do the job and how much it costs, so they set a fair price for their services.
The vendor can monitor and correct the project within the process.
There is minimal risk that an employee decides to drop out in the middle of a project, and there are no costs for health insurance, vacations, or other costs associated with hiring an employee permanently for the company.
The motivation and the speed of completion of tasks are high, as the performer is interested in the quick result and the quality of the execution. This way he gets paid faster and you are more likely to contact him again next time.
Cons of Outsourced DevOps:
There may be security issues. The client will need to spend a decent amount of time finding reliable developers and choosing an acceptable model of communication.
Conclusions
There comes a point in every company’s life when it is necessary to make transformations to continue functioning successfully. The ever-changing needs of businesses, especially in Internet Development can be satisfied by the concept of DevOps.
