On Silicon.fr, Aymeric Aitamer's opinion piece announces a real turning point in DevOps expertise. A new era in DevOps needs and expertise appears to be dawning, with a marked acceleration in the growth of DevOps. SQUAD, positioned on the two themes of DevOps and cybersecurity, breaks down this timely opinion piece for you.
Summary
For the author, these new methods will create new needs. Indeed, the evolution of the DevOps movement will lead to a de facto transformation of business processes and increased demand for experts and skills. Furthermore, containerization—which is gradually becoming the norm and an obvious way to secure systems—requires more effective orchestration and optimization. These are made possible by adopting the DevOps philosophy and implementing true CI/CD pipelines.
To go further, securing infrastructure in a world focused on virtualization and microservices involves adopting DevOps methods to ensure the continuity and security of production cycles. In terms of security, if we consider that application security alone is expected to represent a market worth more than $7 billion by 2023, it is easy to understand why DevOps is positioned as the most obvious response to the needs of businesses, as well as a natural shift in Dev and Ops professions.
In concrete terms, what does the future hold for DevOps?
The answer is quite logical: increased demand for DevOps services or experts to implement this logical approach will impact IT employment. Not so much for DevOps experts, who will naturally become highly sought after, but also for all related jobs where "DevOps appetite" will no longer be a differentiating factor but clearly indispensable. Aymeric Aitamer's vision echoes a sentiment shared by many experts. And who better than the founder of DevOpsRex to present DevOps and the scope of this new philosophy?

DevOps by SQUAD ...
Since its creation in 2011, SQUAD has been offering services in the areas of cybersecurity, virtualization, infrastructure, and development. With this background, it was only natural for our teams to offer—from the very beginning of the DevOps philosophy—support services for the DevOps transformation of the various organizations that call on SQUAD. Our approach is based on an agile DevSecOps orientation to meet the needs of companies wanting to integrate security at the heart of their DevOps deployments and practices. This combines SQUAD's two core areas of expertise: DevOps and cybersecurity.
"We can all jump on the DevOps bandwagon by keeping SQUAD's skill set aligned with technological developments and business needs in 2020."
Jordan ASSOULINE, Technical Evangelist SQUAD
According to Jordan ASSOULINE, our DevSecOps Technical Evangelist, several communities at SQUAD bringing together DevOps experts have formed and are all moving in the same direction.
We can all jump on the DevOps bandwagon by keeping SQUAD's skill set aligned with technological developments and business needs in 2020. To achieve this, we are expanding our consultants' skills through numerous organized events (MixYourTalent "DevOps by Squad - CI/CD GitHub | Kubernetes," or "DevSecOps: Put security back at the heart of your deployments"), participation in conferences (DevOpsRex 2019, or "Automate Everything With Ansible - Red Hat"). In addition, we are implementing a consultant development program with training courses focused on the current transformations in our business lines.
