- 9. 9 Applications delivery isat the core of digital transformation. The stakes for Infrastructure, Operations and DevOps teams are high.
- 10. Revolution in ApplicationDelivery 10 Source: TechBeacon: https://techbeacon.com/10-companies-killing-it-devops Within a year of Amazon's move to AWS, engineers were deploying code every 11.7 seconds, on average. New releases for mobile app went from twice per year to monthly. Fewer product silos with 50 integrated apps, deployed using each team’s preferred tools. Release time for dozens of apps reduced from days to 1-2 hours.
