Introduction: DevOps on Demand VS full-time DevOps
DevOps has become a vital function in software development. Here are some Fast Cloud Facts to get started:
- The DevOps market reached a total of $7 billion USD in 2021 and is forecast to reach $30 Billion USD by 2028;
- AWS (Amazon), Azure (Microsoft), Google Cloud and Alibaba are the top 4 Cloud providers in the world with a combined 71% market share;

DevOps is a methodology that combines software development and IT operations and is a vital component of the “Journey to the Cloud”.
However, not every company needs full-time DevOps engineers, and that’s where “DevOps on Demand” can save you time and money.

Also if you read to the end you will learn about how our DevOps on Demand can help on your pathway to modernity with our Cloud Migration Services for all major Cloud Providers including AWS, Azure, Alibaba, and Google Cloud.

Roles and Responsibilities of DevOps
DevOps engineers work across various aspects of software development and IT operations, including:
- Infrastructure management: Designing, implementing, and managing the hardware and software infrastructure necessary for application deployment.
- Automation: Streamlining the development, testing, and deployment process through the use of tools and scripts.
- Continuous integration: Ensuring that code is constantly integrated, tested, and merged to maintain a consistent codebase.
- Continuous delivery: Deploying software updates and bug fixes automatically and seamlessly to reduce downtime.
- Monitoring and performance optimisation: Ensuring that software applications are performing optimally and identifying any issues that may arise.

- High levels of automation: Businesses that require sophisticated automation processes to streamline development and operations tasks.
- Stringent security and compliance requirements: Companies with strict security standards or regulatory requirements that necessitate continuous monitoring and risk mitigation.
