The 2022 Accelerate State of DevOps Report

Each year, the Accelerate State of DevOps Report, a collaborative effort by Google Cloud and DORA, offers valuable insights into the practices and capabilities that drive high performance in software delivery, based on extensive research and survey responses. The 2022 report, sponsored by Octopus Deploy, highlights the crucial role of organizational culture in adopting effective security practices, revealing that high-trust, low-blame environments are more conducive to successful security implementation. It also emphasizes the interconnectedness of DevOps capabilities and their collective impact on software delivery and organizational performance, with new insights on the role of reliability, cloud technology adoption, and a novel respondent categorization. The report continues to underscore the importance of cultural factors over purely technical ones in enhancing security and performance, inviting organizations to focus on cultural improvements to bolster their security posture.
