From the report, “Much like DevOps itself, pervasive automation is equal parts process, tooling, and culture. Taking the journey represents a collective commitment by the entire organization, one where the goal is realizing the competitive advantage offered by software automation. Leadership builds the strategy, managers plan how to get there, and then it’s up to the teams to sustain an ongoing effort. New challenges will arise as new technologies are released: cloud services, containers, and server-less computing for example. Automating processes to adapt to tomorrow’s technology means staying on the path toward pervasive automation. Then, deliver the business value and agility it promises. While it’s impossible to get to an “absolutely” automated state, this journey keeps you as close as possible by continuously leveraging the latest DevOps and automation practices across your organization.”
