Chapter 7. Conclusion

There is no doubt that DevOps is a buzzword at the moment, but like many buzzwords there is a solid foundation behind it. When implemented well, a DevOps culture can be beneficial to a business, both in terms of increased throughput of change and increased reliability.

DevOps is about a change in focus: from minimization of change to repeatability of creation, from documentation to automation, static to dynamic platforms. It is about focusing on change and ensuring the measurements are in place to be aware of the impact of that change.

DevOps delivers a world where the focus is on flexibility and responsiveness, where systems are automated and repeatable so that they can be created and destroyed as needed.

In this sort of world, DNS becomes the glue that enables the levels of flexibility needed, allowing improved deployment capabilities, improved availability, improved cost optimization, and reduced performance issues.

As such, you need an effective DNS provider to ensure that you can have the levels of performance as well as the speed of update that are essential for running the flexible and responsive system that is needed.

Most importantly you need to ensure that you can manage your DNS programmatically and make regular, automated changes that are immediately effective.

Once you have these elements in place, you can use DNS as a very effective tool to deliver the benefits you aim to achieve by moving toward a DevOps culture.
