Review current business assumptions

To ensure that the work done by developers does not get stuck at the deployment stage, organizations should ensure that they have done everything correctly and understand the following areas:
Are the expectations you set before moving to the cloud aligned with current business trends and realities? To keep your CI/CD pipeline healthy, it’s important to collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify needed improvements, new skills, and other deployment requirements. According to DORA and Google Cloud’s Accelerate State of DevOps 2023 report, simply “using the cloud” produces mixed results. To avoid this fate, consider how much of a priority you place on transforming applications to be cloud-ready versus simply taking a lift-and-shift approach. When migrating applications, are you looking at the business outcomes or just the infrastructure costs? By continually re-evaluating your approach to cloud transformation, you can avoid simply checking the “cloud” box on your to-do list and prioritize its long-term benefits.

Does your organization have a clear understanding of the effort and resources required to migrate applications to the cloud? How do you prioritize your cloud initiatives relative to everything else? Can you ensure that your CI/CD pipeline, security, and cloud management tools are ready to deploy and monitor hybrid applications with well-tuned orchestration and automated processes? The hundreds of tasks required to deploy applications to production create multiple potential points of failure. Creating self-service capabilities for developers that make it easy to install new applications, automate release processes, and deploy new cloud environments can help make developers’ lives easier while minimizing the risk of production disruptions.
"If you do something three times, you have a strong case for automation. We do things thousands of times and we want a reliable, deterministic result every time," says Neil Foulds, release and IT change manager at National Broadband Ireland.
