Avoiding the DevOps Tax

Realize a faster DevOps lifecycle with these best practices for integration & automation.

Recent mergers such as Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods and CVS’s acquisition of Aetna mark a new era of disruption. The pressure for businesses to digitally transform and accelerate the pace of software innovation to deliver seamless customer experiences is at an all-time high. 

As IT leaders are faced with the challenge to improve and modernize their software architectures and delivery processes, many are turning to lean practices and DevOps automation. However, with the influx of DevOps-related products and services on the market, today’s application delivery tool chain has become complex and fragmented, resulting in more time spent on integrating tools instead of software innovation.

Mark Pundsack, Head of Product at GitLab, and guest speaker Christopher Condo, Senior Analyst at Forrester, discuss the current state of DevOps automation and how IT leaders can unlock themselves from today’s toolchain to avoid the “DevOps tax.”
