DevOps Best Practices in Highly Regulated Industry

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

DevOps has an important role in supporting critical decisions in software and systems development in highly regulated industry. To determine best practice, I have reviewed industry papers, standards, and comments of implementers. A systematic review of key reports on DevOps was conducted. Surveys conducted by a number of organizations with over 277,000 respondents are considered here. Key questions posed are how is DevOps perceived by industry, what are the key benefits from an industrial perspective, and what practices contribute to success. Results of this analysis show that while commonly accepted commercial reports make interesting reading; they are not sufficient to base critical decision in highly regulated industry. Furthermore, standards are required to establish confidence in process and product. This paper provides insights and guidance for software and systems development with DevOps practices in a highly regulated environment. I present the need for consistent quality to be encapsulated through industry standards.
