Businesses across all industries are becoming app-centric, but what does that mean for DevOps groups in 2020? We asked DevOps practitioners their perspective on everything from automation and cloud strategy to applications and the services that support them.

We learned a few key things:

  • Nearly one-third of those in DevOps roles consider the app portfolio critical.
  • DevOps practitioners agree with their counterparts in other roles on the primacy of security when deploying an application.
  • Those in a DevOps role are more likely to have responsibility for selecting, deploying, and managing application services in cross-functional teams.
  • DevOps practitioners join their IT counterparts in citing a lack of skills as the biggest challenge to automating network infrastructure.
