The latest State of DevOps report by Puppet marks its 10-year anniversary and encompasses the firsthand experience of over 2,600 professionals worldwide across various organizations. The survey found that 83% of organizations have implemented DevOps practices, with a significant increase in highly evolved practices from 10% to 18% over four years. However, the majority of organizations (78%) are still "stuck in the middle" and face barriers such as legacy architectures and a shortage of skilled resources. Automation is widespread in highly evolved organizations, but its value is not always recognized by mid- and low-evolution companies. The report highlights the importance of culture, communication, and proper documentation in facilitating DevOps practices. It also emphasizes the need to incorporate security into DevOps practices, regardless of the name used. Overall, the report provides actionable takeaways for organizations looking to evolve their DevOps practices and improve their overall software development and deployment processes.
