DevOps is a reality for high-performing businesses, but it has not yet become mainstream, with only around 5% adoption across teams. To spread DevOps best practices and facilitate adoption, making both DevOps and security easy to apply by integrating them into strategy and operations is crucial. This can be achieved by focusing on building platforms that enable developers to build end-to-end applications as simply as possible, rather than investing hours in platform-related work. Additionally, showing business leaders how DevOps directly impacts the bottom line can help gain buy-in, while balancing freedom with chaos through frameworks such as guardrails, no undifferentiated heavy lifting, and creating a "paved road" to guide teams towards efficiency without stifling agility.
