Puppet’s 2020 State of DevOps Report: Why Automation and Self-Service Are K

According to Puppet’s “2020 State of DevOps Report,” for example, a platform approach is increasingly required to properly integrate DevOps teams to better adapt to changes in how applications are deployed and managed. This is especially critical in this COVID-19 pandemic era as DevOps teams are even more highly distributed than they were before, and are often spread across different time zones.

That success does not propagate evenly to other teams in the organization,” Alanna Brown, senior director of developer relations and author of the “State of DevOps,” said.

As a way to mitigate “a tool-sprawl problem for organizations that further siloes teams and their successes,” Puppet’s soon-to-be-released Puppet Connect is expected to provide a framework for the adoption of a self-service model for distributed DevOps teams.

A platform approach, with which self-service capabilities are on offer for DevOps teams for application development, production and management, is thus widely seen as a way to improve DevOps efficiency.
