Why - and how - DevOps roles are changing
Blog post from GitLab
In the 2022 Global DevSecOps Survey, over 5,000 practitioners highlighted a significant shift in DevOps roles towards an integrated DevSecOps approach, with developers, security teams, and operations professionals increasingly sharing responsibilities. Developers are now deeply involved in operational tasks, with 38% responsible for production monitoring and 53% taking on security responsibilities within their organizations. Security teams are becoming more collaborative, with 29% involved in cross-functional teams and 35% being more hands-on with DevOps projects. Operations professionals, while maintaining their focus on cloud and infrastructure management, are also expanding their roles to include DevOps coaching, automation, compliance oversight, and platform engineering. This reshaping of roles, driven by a need for tighter team integration, reflects a broader trend towards collaborative and versatile DevOps practices, even amidst technical and macroeconomic challenges.
