While the initial investment in DevOps automation may be a promising amount, the long-term operational benefits outweigh its short-term financial impact. A properly implemented DevOps pipeline significantly improves efficiency, minimizes downtime, and results in a faster time-to-market, leading to cost savings.
Conversely, traditional IT management often incurs higher costs due to manual processes, longer development cycles, and potentially higher downtime. This cost is also accentuated by constant maintenance expenses.
