‘x’Ops, an upcoming umbrella term used to describe multiple Ops process coming under one name to provide a collaborative and stimulated automation techniques.
From the mid of this decade, massively emerged out Ops processes are DevOps (Development + Operations), SecOps (Security + Operations), and a cross functional DevSecOps (Development + Security + Operations). The term ‘x’Ops has been formulated from the combination of these cloud operations. Organizations are undergoing a massive cultural shift where it narrows down to operations teams adopting clearly defined roles, transparent communication, a
DevOps
DevOps is a model that enables IT development and operations to work concurrently across the complete software development life cycle (SDLC). It aims to minimize the application development process while ensuring continuous and high-quality software delivery.
According to Eran Kinsbruner, chief evangelist for Perfecto, Perforce Software Autonomous, DevOps automation will become the new normal. DevOps will rely on more advanced and autonomous techniques to generate automated outputs across various stages and activities within the lifecycle. To that end, robotic process automation tools will invade the DevOps ecosystem and help with automation of manual and error-prone tasks for greater productivity.
SecOps
As per recent studies, IT and security teams struggle to collaborate well. 54% of security leaders say they communicate effectively with IT professionals to which only 45% of IT professionals agree. This mismatch needs to be addressed jointly by IT and security teams to prioritize data protection over innovation, speed to market, and cost.
SecOps is the joint effort between IT security and operations to integrate technology and processes that reduce risk, keep data safe, and improve business agility.
Gartner states that through 2020, “99% of vulnerabilities exploited will continue to be the ones known by security and IT professionals for at least one year.”
According to Forrester Research, “Today’s security initiatives are impossible to execute manually. As infrastructure-as-a-code, edge computing, and internet-of-things solutions proliferate, organizations must leverage automation to protect their business technology strategies.”
Why to DevOps to DevSecOps?
When security is the primary focus of a DevOps team, the aim is to introduce and develop security-related strategies, processes, and policies from the inception phase of the SDLC. The idea is for everyone to be responsible for security while building the application. DevSecOps, also known as SecDevOps, incorporates the Development and Security operations. DevSecOps is an evolution of the DevOps concept that, besides automation, addresses the issues of code quality and reliability assurance.
Why ‘x’Ops?
The ability to absorb new technologies and platforms seamlessly is critical, and the reinvented IT Ops plays a crucial role in today’s times but the IT ops still need to go a long way before it can do the “all under one roof” - there comes the concept of XOps.
According to Gartner, “The multiplication of Ops disciplines stemming out of DevOps best practices has caused significant confusion in the marketplace. Yet, their reconciliation can bring significant advantages to organizations that are able to harmonize those disciplines.” Also, it adds that, “XOps practices link development, deployment and maintenance together to create a shared understanding of requirements, transfer of skills and processes for monitoring and maintaining analytics and AI artifacts”.
To summarize, XOPS is a state of the art, integrated hardware and software platform that delivers real time data to digitally track, monitor, manage and optimize specialist motorized and non-motorized ground support equipment at Airports.
XOPS uniquely combines, on a single platform, advanced telematics, specialist operations management software and a data processing engine allowing all critical operations to viewed on screen and managed in one IT command and control environment.
