There’s no doubt that organizations continuously strive for better ways to create, deploy, monitor, and manage the software development life cycle. As a result, many companies have embraced the DevOps methodology to improve efficiency and agility. Although DevOps is a relatively new concept, it has quickly gained traction, and it will continue to grow as more businesses and companies adopt it. This 2022, we can expect to see different trends emerge from the various stages of the DevOps process. 

What Is DevOps?

DevOps is an approach to developing applications, and it involves breaking down traditional barriers between development and production environments. It aims to bring together separate groups of people who previously worked separately to build applications. This leads to increased collaboration among developers and operations staff, improving delivery speed and reducing costs.

In addition, DevOps engineers encourage continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) processes that ensure products are stable and ready to be released. CI refers to testing each code commit before sending it to production. CD means deploying changes immediately after they are tested. These processes help ensure that every change goes through all stages of development without errors or delays.

DevOps Trends in 2022

As DevOps becomes more widespread, it will be used by more companies to achieve greater levels of efficiency and cost savings. As a result, more trends related to DevOps will emerge. Here are the top DevOps trends we expect to see in 2022:

1. Container Technologies

Container technology is expected to become even more important in DevOps because of its ability to scale up and out. In fact, containers are already being used to host websites, databases, and other infrastructure components. As such, it’s projected that DevOps teams will need to use container technologies when they deploy applications at scale. Kubernetes and other container-native services will also become increasingly popular due to their ability to provide custom resources that can manage large applications.

2. Serverless Computing

Serverless computing is a type of cloud computing where developers can write code and run applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. It has been growing in popularity over the past few years as organizations have realized how much easier serverless computing allows them to work with cloud providers. And as a result, this trend will continue to grow rapidly in 2022. Serverless computing will help DevOps teams reduce costs, increase developer productivity, and simplify continuous deployment processes.

3. Microservices Architecture

With the microservices architecture, each team focuses on building small pieces of functionality that can then be combined into larger applications or systems. This approach enables greater efficiencies in software delivery, allowing teams to release smaller features more frequently. In 2022, we can expect microservices architecture to make processes faster, cheaper, and safer for organizations that adopt DevOps practices. 

4. Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a development practice that automates the deployment and ongoing operation of application and service infrastructures. Managing infrastructure isn’t easy, so why not automate it? With IaC, you don’t have to worry about manually configuring new resources or updating your infrastructure. As a result, organizations can spend less time managing infrastructure and more time focusing on developing and deploying apps.

5. Automation and Artificial Intelligence

The rise of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) is another major trend that will impact the DevOps environment during the next decade. There’s no doubt that automation and AI have already had an enormous influence on modern business operations. We’ve seen them transform the way businesses interact with customers, employees, partners, and suppliers. They’re going to play a similarly significant role within the DevOps process. You can expect to see increased adoption of automation tools to help DevOps teams to handle massive amounts of data.  

6. DevSecOps

Security is becoming increasingly important for all types of applications and infrastructure. This means that DevOps engineers must work closely with security experts to ensure that sensitive data remains safe while applications are deployed and updated. DevSecOps is a term that describes these kinds of collaborations between technical teams and security experts. Organizations that have adopted DevSecOps strategies report better security outcomes, so you can expect this trend to continue in 2022.

7. Hybrid Work Model

Remote work has become fairly common today, and we expect that trend to continue. However, certain companies still need to operate under a traditional office layout. Because of this, hybrid work models have proved to be successful. Companies can provide options for employees to work remotely when necessary without sacrificing productivity or collaboration. Organizations that have adopted the DevOps methodology are expected to see greater adoption of hybrid work models for better efficiency.

The Bottom Line

In 2022, we’ll likely witness continued advancements in DevOps technologies and techniques. Many organizations may also start adopting the DevOps methodology for their own operations as well. As more companies begin adopting DevOps, we anticipate seeing more trends emerge. Through continuous innovation and experimentation, DevOps will thrive in the coming years, and its success will depend largely on how effectively companies embrace change.

    Great Article Chatty Garrate!
    There is one thing that you forgot, that I would like to add it
    Rise of ChatOps

    In the upcoming years, ChatOps is likely to have a significant impact on DevOps development. A relatively new idea, ChatOps is gaining ground, especially among startups and smaller companies.

    The plan is to handle team member communication and collaboration using chat software (like Slack). This can speed up the development process and facilitate team member communication.

    A developer can utilise ChatOps to push new code updates to live systems. They input commands and type out the deployment as if they were using a command line interface, a keyboard shortcut, or a computer button.
