DevOps and Configuration Management: Puppet and LSD deliver


Johannesburg, 28 Jul 2015

In partnership since 2012, LSD Information Technology and Puppet Labs have been educating, implementing and leading the DevOps movement. LSD is excited to announce that Puppet Labs have just released their fourth annual State of DevOps Report. The DevOps Report, drawn from the industry's most comprehensive DevOps survey, reveals that high-performing IT organisations have 60 times fewer failures and recover from failure 168 times faster.

"The fourth annual State of DevOps Survey confirms that IT performance provides real business value. High-performing IT organisations have a strong and positive impact on the overall performance of the organisations they serve."

As always this year's report is packed with interesting and insightful key findings.

Findings from the 2015 State of DevOps Report:

* High-performing IT organisations deploy 30x more frequently with 200x shorter lead times; they have 60x fewer failures and recover 168x faster.
* Lean management and continuous delivery practices create the conditions for delivering value faster, sustainably.
* High performance is achievable whether your apps are greenfield, brownfield or legacy.
* IT managers play a critical role in any DevOps transformation.
* Diversity matters.
* Deployment pain can tell you a lot about your IT performance.
* Burnout can be prevented, and DevOps can help.

"There is definite trend towards agile and systems thinking and we are seeing the compartmentalised individual roles of developer and system administrator starting to merge. LSD internally practises the agile methodology and is continuously looking at ways to push the agile and DevOps way of thinking throughout all the teams", said Stefan Lesicnik, Technical Director, LSD.

Puppet Labs will be hosting a Webinar on Thursday, 30 July, where it will share the survey analysis plus practical methods for getting started with DevOps. Register Now
