DevOps has become enormously popular as a means of speeding up tech projects, but a new study reveals the challenges that organizations face in adopting it.
The survey from sandbox specialist Quali finds the top barriers to DevOps success include the respondent’s company culture (14 percent), challenges of testing automation (13 percent), legacy systems (12 percent), application complexity (11 percent), and budget constraints (11 percent).
Other barriers to implementing DevOps include limited IT skills, difficulty managing multiple environments, a lack of DevOps plans and tools, and a lack of executive buy-in. Complex applications also make the transition to cloud and DevOps challenging. Over 44 percent of applications in traditional environments were considered too complex for cloud.
No access to self-service infrastructure is a problem for 54 percent of respondents. This means more than half of respondents take a ticket-based approach to infrastructure delivery, impacting productivity and increasing time to market.
