What was coveted only by lean and agile firms yesteryear, is now penetrating more mature enterprises. This agile development strategy is witnessing a rapid momentum gain due to its ability to bridge the gap between software development and operations--the two teams with a history of often clashing with each other. However, the success of an organization's venture into the world of DevOps is largely dependent on the supporting tools and technology. Gartner expects strong growth opportunities for DevOps toolsets with 25 percent of Global 2000 organizations predicted to employ a DevOps strategy this year.While there already are a slew of configuration management tools--like Puppet and Chef for instance--the DevOps tools landscape has exploded of late, paving the way for a broader range of technologies that make DevOps undertakings a breeze. From sophisticated tools that automate correlation of data analytics and problem resolution dependencies to containerization and command-line-driven automation, the DevOps arena is coming of age.A notable aspect in this industry transformation is the impact of the omnipresent cloud. Despite being separate entities--cloud and DevOps--a large number of companies working in the cloud desire faster delivery and optimized infrastructure. Moving DevOps to the cloud or adopting a hybrid approach where `Dev' takes place in the cloud and `Ops' happens in on-premises systems, enables businesses to provide more value through IT.As the DevOps space continues to evolve rapidly, it can be challenging for enterprises to stay up to speed with the changes and adapt to it. To make this task less daunting and empower businesses to remain competitive and innovative, CIO Applications presents to you a special edition of DevOps, featuring insights from industry thought leaders and in-depth views into technologies that are stirring a revolution in this arena. We hope this special edition will assist you in revamping your enterprise's DevOps strategy.Let us know your thoughts.The Year of Mobility and CloudEditorialSarah WilsonManaging Editorsarah@cioapplications.comManaging Editor: Sarah WilsonVisualizer:Ajay K DasStephen ThomasEditorial Staff:Aaron Pierce Alex D'SouzaAva GarciaJoshua ParkerShirley Faith Anusha JainSales:Xavier ThomasXavier@cioapplications.com510.371.0422Mailing Address:ValleyMedia, Inc.44790 S.
