Migrating business systems into an ‘all-in’ cloud environment is one of the most cost-efficient solutions for scaling business operations. The costs associated with the purchase, deployment, operation and maintenance of additional physical servers are replaced with the lower costs of purchasing server capacities from the cloud supplier. Cloud processing and storage capacities can be changed in minutes compared with equivalent physical changes to computing systems that can take weeks.

DevOps continues to evolve and adapt, finding new applications while enhancing its features. The trick is staying one step ahead so an organization can embrace and exploit any changes, rather than being one step behind and always racing just to keep pace with the competition.
