AJNARA FRAGRANCE WALK: EVOLUTION OF HIGH-STREET CULTURE IN INDIA

Rapid urbanization, increased disposable income, & change in the middle class's lifestyle have to lead to a significant revolution in the Indian Retail sector. As the government is also easing the FDI norms in the retail industry, many overseas retailers are now expanding their legs in India. And it hasn't been restricted to metro cities anymore. Tier-II cities like Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, etc., gradually see many organized retail progress in a big way. The primary two categories that fall in the retail sector are Shopping Malls & High Streets. (Source- JLL)

WHAT DEFINES HIGH STREET IN INDIA?

The retail industry's growth is a true reflection of the social & economic status of the country, and India has witnessed immersive growth with many developers that have come up with their exclusive trend-setting shopping malls & high streets. The trend extends to brands that are moving from 5-star hotels to malls to high-streets retail. India's retail market has transformed from 'Haats' to 'Weekly Bazaars' to the posh High Streets like Connaught Place (CP), Khan Market in Delhi, or the Mahatma Gandhi (MG) Road in Pune. The study &

JLL Report

states that high streets can be classified into two categories: Destination and Transit-Oriented.

WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR EVER-GROWING HIGH-STREET DESTINATIONS IN INDIA?

Apart from attitudinal shifts, rising income, 100% FDI is the critical factor leading to High Street's growth in India. The location places a significant reason in deciding its success. As the open spaces are diminishing in the cities, High Streets are treated as a place to meet, greet & having a fun time with friends. High streets become the preferred choice for many brands as it comes with lower maintenance costs and good visibility, flexibility in outlet sizes & access to the roads. It being an unbound market, visitors or shoppers also feels at ease that a high street shopping experience offers. They get personal attention & discounted price which led them to revisit the shop.

HIGH STREET VS. SHOPPING MALLS-

High streets are preferred over the malls as they are considered to yield better returns. And that is why many retailers are choosing to invest in the former. Consumers are also choosing the high street as they are time & cost-effective, which they otherwise lack in the parking area. They get better brand experience along with store experience in a high street setup. As per the report by CBRE, more than 60% of restaurants in Delhi-NCR are located on high streets compared to 29% in malls. With so much popularity of this shopping format, real estate developers create flexible & customizable spaces making F&B an integral part of overall high street development strategies.

While there was huge hue & cry about this shopping format in India, it is confirmed that high-streets have stood the test of time & have created their USP by continually evolving, sometimes by catering to niche segments & managed to retain their reputation by as one of the essential retailing destination.

The future of this luxury retail is bright in India. The retail sector in India is expected to clock a wholesome growth rate of 12%. This could touch $1 trillion by 2020, with high street contributing a meaningful part towards it. Technology will play an instrumental role in reshaping the segment and further improving India's conditions of high streets. (Source- Financial Express).

COMMERCIAL PROJECTS IN RAJ NAGAR EXTENSION-

The demand is set high in metro & Tier-I & Tier-II cities. Ghaziabad, in NCR, has become a hub of high street retail as many developers are developing their projects here. One such region is Rajnagar Extension. This growing demand is due to the excellent connectivity and world-class infrastructure of the region. Besides the metro rail network, the Eastern Peripheral Expressway connects the area well with highways.

June 16, 2020: King Felipe held videoconferences with the responsible for the Executive Committee of the Spanish Private Health Alliance (ASPE), and the IDIS Foundation (Institute for the Development and Integration of Health), which cover practically all of the Spanish private health actors, a strategic ally of the National Health System during the COVID-19 crisis.

This videoconference is developed within the framework of the contacts maintained by the King with the health sector during the pandemic, in which there have been calls and videoconferences, among others, to 47 hospitals and to the schools of Doctors, Pharmacists, and Nursing and of Psychology. And in those conversations, Don Felipe has sent a message of gratitude, encouragement and recognition to all those who have worked and still work today in the front line against the virus and which today has extended to private health professionals.

According to the data of the 2020 Report of the IDIS Foundation on private health, it represents a high weight in the Spanish productive sector and represents 2.6% of GDP. There are 8.7 million insured (18.5% of the population), perform 30.5% of surgical interventions; 23.5% of the discharges; 24.5% of emergencies; 23.5% of income; 17.5% of stays and 19.7% of consultations. It has 458 hospitals (57% of the total) and more than 51,000 beds (32% of the total), with almost 270,000 professionals and 215 places of residents in private centers in 2020 (24 university hospitals).

Don Felipe has spoken with the executive president of ASPE, Carlos Rus; the vice president, Juan Carlos González; and the honorary president and president of the CEOE Health and Social Affairs Commission, Cristina Contel, in a meeting in which they highlighted that it is one of the sectors most affected by the crisis due to its consideration as an essential sector. This has required the maintenance of operational resources with total and absolute availability, with provisioning costs at an unprecedented speculative level, limitations on the adequacy of structures and expenses, deprogramming of all non-urgent activities; and, in general, with a huge decrease in ordinary activity.

ASPE explains that, depending on the impact of the pandemic in each territory, private health has maintained a different degree of participation with the regional administrations. In areas such as Madrid or the province of Barcelona it has been necessary to double and triple ICUs. In regions such as Castilla-La Mancha or Castilla y León, the creation of parallel circuits was chosen, where the private circuit was used as a COVID-free circuit. On the other hand, it indicates that in the regions with the least pandemic affection, all the private infrastructure was also available, but without being required. All healthcare areas have been significantly affected due to the management of the pandemic. Specifically, surgical interventions decreased by 83%, diagnostic tests by 79%, emergencies by 73% and consultations by 67%. ASPE representatives highlight that, despite the difficulties that the centers are going through, 89% hired new professionals during the crisis, 5% in the comparison of the same period of the previous year.

Another capital issue is related to investments in protective equipment, which only increased by 71% in April and March compared to the entire year of 2019. The most extreme case is that of surgical masks, whose price has increased 1,423% compared to the existing price in December 2019.

The Spanish Private Health Alliance (ASPE) groups almost 1,300 private health entities, among which are hospitals and clinics, specialized centers, laboratories, health transport companies, etc. ASPE has more than 80% representation of the country's private hospital centers. In addition, the territorial associations of Catalonia, Community of Madrid, Basque Country, Andalusia, Galicia, Balearic Islands and Murcia are part of the Spanish Private Health Alliance.

Created in 2010, it has 87 members (hospital groups, insurance companies, the pharmaceutical and technology industries and other entities in the private health sector); In its Board of Trustees it also integrates representative entities of specialists and patients.

This foundation ensures that it defends a solid and viable public health system and highlights its strengths while promoting a private health system of excellence and quality that contributes to promoting competitiveness and improving equity, which eliminates or modulates delays in access. patients to offer services and improve efficiency in particular and health outcomes in general.

IDIS points out that it promotes and values ​​the role of private health not only due to its idiosyncrasy and the quality of its services offered, but also because it is a true reflection of the demand that civil society has, guaranteeing an adequate response to questions. emerging that arise every day (freedom of choice, personalization).

In addition, it maintains a firm commitment from the private sector to the patient, the development of the health professional and their respective training, as well as to quality care, research and innovation in all its forms of expression as an element of sustainability and differentiation.

The IDIS Foundation warns that it works with the premise that private healthcare neither competes nor is an alternative to public healthcare, but that both should complement each other to form an integrated healthcare system. During the 10 years of its existence, the IDIS Foundation has carried out multiple studies that show the excellent level reached by this system of private ownership, not only for its contribution of wealth in terms of GDP and qualified employment, but also in key aspects such as healthcare quality, technological and biopharmaceutical innovation, research and training.

In his opinion, the objective of private health during the COVID19 pandemic has been to enhance collaboration with public administrations and optimize their resources, which has materialized in different actions and strategies to expand coverage to the maximum number of patients. To do this, they have expanded the staff of health professionals: doctors, nurses, health assistants and cleaning staff have been the main profiles incorporated.

Coincides with ASPE in highlighting that they have had to reschedule the activity, with the postponement of consultations and interventions that were not urgent or preferential; Services unrelated to this epidemiological situation due to COVID-19 infection have been closed, such as polyclinics, gyms or dental clinics. Also noteworthy is the adaptation of spaces to receive patients (both intensive care beds and beds); the acquisition of equipment, mainly intended for the diagnosis and treatment of patients, and the implementation of strategies to care for a greater number of patients, with the introduction of telemedicine and teleconsultations, which has allowed increasing the capacity of care and avoiding displacement from patients with other pathologies to health centers,thus freeing up resources to be able to add them to the fight against the COVID19 pandemic.

npm Convos: the native web

Q: Hi! Can you state your name, what you do, and/or what your company does?

A: Hey, I'm Golo, founder and CTO of the native web. We provide consulting, training and development for Node.js, JavaScript, and related technologies. Our speciality is designing and developing distributed applications for the web and the cloud, for which we also develop our own framework called wolkenkit.

What's special about us is that we work entirely remote. This has a lot of potential, but also brings its own challenges. The biggest challenge is the communication. To solve this, we use Slack extensively and we're trying to do as much pairing as possible.

Working remotely also means that we try to outsource as much of our internal infrastructure as possible. This of course implies that we have to be able to rely one hundred percent on the many services that we use.

How’s your day going?

That's depends essentially on whether I'm on the road with a customer or at a conference, or whether I'm developing together with my colleagues. We allow our employees to choose when and where they work. This means that for pair programming we have to coordinate when to meet online.

Some days start earlier, others later. We plan a lot before we actually develop and always try to put ourselves in the role of the user. Our goal is to develop simple but technically outstanding solutions for complex problems.

Originally I worked with .NET, but moved to Node.js around 2011. I especially liked the simplicity and rapidity with which Node.js can be used. The use of open source contributes significantly to this way of working, which is why sharing code with other developers is extremely important for us. We use a lot of open source code, but we also give back as much as possible.

Tell me the story of npm at your company. What specific problem did you have that npm solved?

Using open source is like playing with Lego: The power is not in having a single very powerful building block, but in having many small ones that can be flexibly combined. However, this automatically raises the question: How do you coordinate with other developers? How do you actually exchange code and distribute components?

This is where npm comes into play: The npm command line tool and the public Registry are by far the most sophisticated solutions to this problem. npm makes it incredibly easy to publish, version and share code — or to integrate other people's code into your own projects. Other technologies should definitely take this as an example.

Thanks to the organization feature of npm we are also able to manage permissions on our code for different developers and teams.

To people who are unsure what they could use npm for – how would you explain the use case?

I'd say npm is like the Lego shop of your dreams, where you can find bricks in all shapes and colors and where you can design your own bricks and make them available to others.

Everyone wants to develop their own software first, but many core components are difficult to build on your own. Therefore it makes much more sense to get these components elsewhere. It's not just writing code: You also have to test your components, document them, and so on.

This again is much easier for small building blocks than for large ones, and that is why it is so important to have a central location where all these building blocks can be stored and exchanged.

How’s the day to day experience of using npm?

Very good. We use npm a hundred times a day. It is mission-critical for our software development. Such an important tool has to work efficiently and reliably, and that's exactly what npm does.

Of course npm, like everyone else, has occasional hiccups, but that's very rare, and npm's support has always been helpful and responsive.

We've also had contact with npm in other respects, namely we've taken over maintenance for a few packages from other developers. Transferring a package always feels a little bit tricky, because what if something goes wrong? But npm was always helpful and helped us to make sure everything went smoothly.

Would you recommend that another org or company use npm and why?

If they use Node.js or JavaScript, definitely! And we have done so in the past few years as part of our consulting job many times. As mentioned before, npm is by far the best way to exchange code with other developers, and as mentioned before as well, no one can develop software of a certain complexity completely from scratch.

Instead, it makes much more sense to act as a community — and that also applies to companies that can benefit enormously from open source, but should also give something back at the same time. And npm is the integration point for all of this.

Any cool npm stuff your company has done publicly that you’d like to promote?

On the one hand, we have published many of our core components as small, independent building blocks. Maybe there are some things in these packages that can be useful for someone else.

On the other hand, as mentioned in the beginning, we are developing wolkenkit as an open-source framework to build backends in no time with JavaScript and Node.js. For that, we rely on a number of proven architecture patterns such as CQRS and event-sourcing.

One of the biggest benefits of using wolkenkit is that it records all changes that were made to your application's data, so you do not only have the current state, but also historical data. This makes it easy to learn from your past and gain further insights into your business.

To control wolkenkit you use its common line tool, which has also been written in Node.js. It bundles your source code into a number of Docker containers and runs them along with the required infrastructure. wolkenkit allows you to scale up the read side and the write side of your application independent of each other.

As every application relies on npm packages, we have integrated wolkenkit with npm, so that your dependencies get automatically installed when starting your application.

To get started, all you need to do is install Docker, install Node.js and run:

```shell

$ npm install -g wolkenkit

```

And you're ready to go. That's what we love npm for.

Future of DevOps: Trends to Watch

Every aspect of industry is being transformed by technology, and digitalization and automation have flourished in recent years. DevOps has proven to be an essential software development methodology for successful digital transformation.

According to a recent market survey, the DevOps market will exceed $20 billion by 2026, growing at a 24.7 percent CAGR between 2019 and 2026. DevOps has facilitated faster and more dependable software development, delivery, higher quality, and greater customer satisfaction.

DevOps is also constantly evolving in order to meet the changing demands of the corporate environment. Let's take a look at the future of DevOps and the trends to look out for.

Computing without a server

The massive capital and operational costs of server infrastructure will drive an increase in the adoption of serverless architecture by DevOps teams. Several DevOps teams are collaborating on modular components that provide an overview of the pipeline. Moving these modular components to serverless architecture will enable groups to eliminate a few errands identified with pipeline architecture and focus on product deployment and development.

Serverless computing simplifies overall DevOps operations by centralizing the entire software life cycle, from development to deployment, testing, and maintenance. Serverless computing also reduces the developer's workload by handling server maintenance tasks such as cloud monitoring and system updates. Other key advantages include flexibility, dependability, speed, and cost-effectiveness.

Architecture of Microservices

In the IT industry, microservices architecture is gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional monolithic architecture, and this trend is expected to continue. Microservices architecture is a method of dividing computer systems into segments that can be scaled on demand. The next evolution of service-oriented architecture (SOA) is the microservices architecture pattern, which structures an application as a collection of coupled services. If one component of the application fails, microservices make it simple to identify and resolve the problem without disrupting the entire application.

DevOps and microservices architecture enables decentralized teams to innovate quickly, maintain control over their tech stack and standards, track performance metrics, supervise the development and release cycles, and reduce overall consumption time through shorter software release intervals.

Platforms and applications with low/no code

Many organizations have turned to low-code/no-code development to deploy applications quickly to keep up with the demand for new applications and features. Adopting a low-code approach with DevOps is revolutionary. It allows developers to be more agile and provides the organization with a competitive advantage in the fast-paced, demanding software market.

With the help of visual interface integration, low-code applications enable non-technical 'citizen developers' to contribute to software development. In addition to end users, developers and DevOps engineers will play an important role in this trend by utilizing low-code platforms and tools that provide drag-and-drop elements and other extensions. These low-code application development tools help with app ideation, analysis, software design, code development, quality assurance, deployment, and documentation, among other things.

DevSecOps

Many large corporations are incorporating and automating security into their DevOps processes. The transition from DevOps to DevSecOps is expected to gain traction in the future. The DevOps market is expected to reach $5.9 billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 31.2 percent during the forecast period.

To ensure application security, more companies will embed security controls earlier in the software development cycle. In 2022, tools and frameworks will simply integrate with CI/CD pipelines, and the use of testing tools will increase. DevSecOps enables developers to track, monitor, and remediate security flaws throughout the development process, improving delivery speed and quality.

GitOps and Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that is emerging as an operations infrastructure trend. In 2022 and beyond, Kubernetes will expand further into the software development space. It will make it easier to launch a local Kubernetes cluster on a developer's machine. Through infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scanning, Kubernetes security is expected to take center stage as well.

GitOps is a Kubernetes-related infrastructure trend that enables developers and IT administrators to use Git to manage clusters and deliver efficient, secure applications that are free of misconfigurations. It automates the release of incremental updates, and consistent delivery enables developers to rapidly build, test, and deploy software.

AI and machine learning

Artificial intelligence and machine learning have already altered the way businesses conduct themselves. AI/ML is expected to further streamline and accelerate every phase of the SDLC by 2022. It enables DevOps teams to improve their performance through intelligent automation, better feedback, and alert management.

As the market evolves, advanced analytical methods such as predictive analytics are becoming increasingly important. AI can be used to conduct proactive investigations of the DevOps pipeline to identify problems and offer potential solutions. Deep learning, data mining, statistics, and modeling are also possible with AI and ML integration, becoming an integral part of your business' workflow.

Conclusion

DevOps is evolving and pivoting to drive significant IT transformations that directly support business goals and objectives. It will help the company improve its ability to design, produce, launch, and maintain high-quality software solutions. The aforementioned trends will assist organizations in rapidly moving beyond automation, with a focus on continuously improving outcomes. These trends are catalysts for establishing a consistent and dependable release pipeline and improving communication among development, IT, and business teams.

– what the future holds for commercial design

Whether you’re on board with ethical design or just see it as yet another corporate buzzword, there’s no denying the fact that sustainability has well-and-truly found itself a seat at the boardroom table – and it’s here to stay.

Kirsty Shearer, development director at pan-European construction firm, Agilité Solutions – which counts the likes of Booking.com, Deloitte, and Indeed.com among its client roster – looks at what the future holds for commercial design, and the role we all must play.

By no means is the commercial property sector alone in its bid to minimise humanity’s impact on the planet, but as experts in the day-to-day operations of buildings, we, as peers, are perfectly positioned to play a part in creating a sustainable future for generations to come – with efficiency and moderation in the supply chain, careful use of materials, and colleagues all proving central to its success.

Of course, management preferences, budgets, and timescales all have a considerable effect on just how sustainable any structure can be – particularly when it comes to designing for industry. But, now more than ever, we’re answering briefs which centre around a project’s carbon footprint – so change is afoot.

Although our collective conscience should want to ensure all elements of the built environment are as close to ‘net zero’ as they possibly can be – the hard truth is that it isn’t easy. Such change is as much about careful curation of products and suppliers, as it is altering behaviours and challenging the ‘we’ve always done it this way’ mentality, too.

While not often involved in the initial construction and/or fit our phases of their sites, facilities managers are in a unique position of being able to dictate – to some extent – how buildings grow and mature once they are established.

Ensuring that the places in which people work, play, learn, and live are safe, comfortable, productive, and sustainable is only a small part of a FM’s role – being held responsible for what is often an organisation’s largest and most valuable asset allows for a real contribution to the business strategy and bottom line.

In terms of sustainability, it is the collective responsibility of all who operate in the built environment to be that ‘critical friend’ and challenge what’s always been done – if there’s a way to make a site more ‘green’ at any stage of its lifecycle.

While more cost-effective and ecological operations and maintenance is a great place to start, our attentions shouldn’t end there. In fact, by empowering colleagues to strive for a development which not only creates a better future for its tenants, the building, and its occupants, we protect the future of our planet, too.

Sustainable supply chain in construction

With the best will in the world, the ability to develop a sustainable solution is only ever going to be as ‘open’ as those which highlight a company’s business strategy, outline the budget, and make the final decisions. That’s why, rather than adding such a sentiment as a ‘nice to have’, there should be a sustainability target set in every five-year plan – with all stakeholders bought into the strategy and rationale behind it.

Of course, that’s in an ideal world. But a great place to start is by making the case to source materials and labour responsibly – and preferably, locally. Negating the requirement to ship supplies across vast oceans in a bid to keep costs down, will help to reduce the emissions associated with ‘getting’ the infrastructure to site, but also means any issues can be rectified quickly, too.

With a vast pool of sub-contractors to choose from – in most locations – it pays to be picky. As well as sourcing endorsement from ‘happy customers’, look for proven eco-credentials too, particularly when it comes to recycling, travel, and the firm’s own procurement.

Naturally, there will always be cases where operations are driven entirely by budget and ambition – rather than longer-term implications of the decisions – or when it’s simply impossible to procure goods in any other fashion.

But, even if you are surrounded by people for whom ethical construction sits at the very bottom of the pile, it is still possible to make a difference. Examine your own carbon footprint, implement change if necessary, and be sure to highlight your own ‘green ambitions’ as part of any discussions.

Sustainability is about more than bricks and mortar

When considering sustainability within the built environment, it’s important to look beyond the physical elements of construction, too. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that organisations need to embrace commercial spaces which fit the bill in terms of function, form, and wellbeing.

While an overnight shift to homeworking gave the commercial landscape a complete shake-up, it has forced employees to consider what they want from their career too – as well as where they want their workspace to be.

As some brands close satellite offices in favour of one central hub, others are adopting more of a hybrid/co-working approach, with workers given the freedom to select their hours and desk locations – and in turn, their work-life balance.

Although it’s not an approach which suits every corporate entity, many organisations have woken up to the need to offer sustainable solutions not just in the bricks-and-mortar sense, but via the attitudes and environment they offer colleagues.

Flexible and remote working is here to stay, and the requirement to create a workspace that answers the needs of all who use it – be that retail, hospitality, or office staff – is firmly at the top of many priority lists. Fast-forward to 2021, and in their place are locations which support hybrid working and wellness – with hotdesking, ‘breakout’ zones, and open-plan leisure areas.

While bricks and mortar are central to any sustainability strategy, the human elements of continuity mustn’t be overlooked as we consider this ‘new normal’. Wellbeing is an important part of a living building, meaning that consideration should be given to the people who will use the space too.

From a design point of view, ‘health and safety’ should go beyond simply risk assessing areas against accidents, trips, or falls – and include a nod towards mental health too. Factor in plenty of natural light and strive to enhance people’s mood, creativity, and ability to collaborate.

Lead from the front

Including a nod to sustainability in your company’s value proposition should hopefully be a given, but bringing those to life rests solely on the shoulders of the people who live and breathe them. Simply recruiting someone based on their ‘green’ interests isn’t where investment should start and end, though. Offering continued training around what it means to be sustainable to colleagues – perhaps through CPD-accredited courses – will pay dividends in the long run.

While paper-free offices are nothing new, technology allowed many firms to maintain some semblance of ‘business as usual’ during the height of the pandemic. Switching maintenance records from physical documents to concise PDFs, embracing 360-degree photographic reports, and implementing virtual walkthroughs and handovers are all solutions which are here to stay.

And, to take that one step further, consider the potential of using green power to heat offices, reducing non-essential travel, and offsetting the environmental cost of commuting – both in-country and overseas.

Of course, as a global population – never mind industry – we still have a long way to go. But as the people behind buildings which might outlive us all, it’s our responsibility to look after them with the future firmly in mind.

Critical Infrastructure Protection Market Current Trends, Segmentation, Key Players Analysis and Forecast to 2025

The global critical infrastructure protection market was valued at USD 71.83 billion in 2019 and is projected to be worth USD 108.57 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 7.08% during the period from 2020 to 2025. Critical infrastructure plays an active and dynamic part in supporting the seamless progression and assimilation of modern society. The performance, safety, reliability, continuous operation, maintenance, and protection of critical infrastructure are among the national priorities for countries around the world. - The critical infrastructure sectors comprise assets, networks, and systems, whether physical or virtual. The physical protection of critical infrastructure can prevent the commission of high-impact terrorist attacks and avoid the cascading effects that are frequently associated with such attacks. INTERPOL has observed an increase of 200%, in the number of profiles of foreign terrorist fighters, between January 2017 and April 2018. - The issue of critical infrastructure protection is emerging as one of the primary concerns for the national governments, infrastructure managers, and local authorities. The European Union (EU), through its European Program for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP), announced the importance of CIP to all its member states and the citizens. - Due to rapid urbanization across the world, there has been immense stress on infrastructure in cities, and the governments are focusing on improving the infrastructure, such as transport, energy, and water, in order to provide better livability stature. The information and the telecommunications sector also play a very crucial role in CIP.

Developing countries are being attacked primarily, as in the countries in Western Europe and North America such as the United States. Most attacks are through the internet, removable drives or email. Furthermore, 1%-4% of the IC systems are attacked by cryptocurrency malware each month. - According to the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), spending on smart cities is expected to reach USD 34.35 billion by the end of 2020, up from USD 14.85 billion. The increase in investment in smart cities is expected to augment the demand for critical information systems protection solutions. - Moreover, the use of connected devices led to the vulnerability of cyber threats, and the governments have incorporated them as an essential part of the critical infrastructure. For instance, according to Cisco Systems Inc., 500 billion devices are anticipated to be connected to the internet by 2030. All these factors are expected to drive the growth of the market studied, over the forecast period. Key Market Trends Sensitive Infrastructure and Enterprises Sector Vertical to Grow at the Highest Rate - The financial services sector is a vital component of the nation's critical infrastructure. Recent natural disasters, large-scale power outages, and an increase in the number and sophistication of cyberattacks demonstrate the wide range of potential risks facing the sector. - Owing to the presence of a large networking framework, coupled with sensitive and critical data, the BFSI sector is facing several data breaches and cyberattacks, due to the large customer base served by the industry. ATMs face various security challenges, such as robberies, vandalism, and fraud. - The increasing customer propensity towards ATM withdrawals is also expected to contribute to the market’s growth. For instance, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has made it mandatory for banks to have the entire area under CCTV surveillance. The primary aim is to identify unscrupulous elements, like the circulation of fake currency in the banking system. - Additionally, the Trojan malware steals credentials for e-payment and online banking systems, intercepting one-time passwords, and then sending the data to the attackers behind the Trojan. According to Kaspersky Lab, of 889,452 attacks, almost 25% of them were corporate, a figure that remained consistent for the past three years. - Some of the prominent players in the industry, through R&D, have been able to develop advancements in technology, which is expected to boost the adoption of critical infrastructure during the forecast period. For instance, in December 2018, Intracom Telecom announced the launch of SIS-C2, a command, control, and integration management platform for border surveillance, critical infrastructure protection, homeland security, and maritime domain awareness. - According to a 2018 report by EfficientIP, the telecom sector is one of the worst at tackling cyber threats. In 2018, 43% of telco organizations were victimized by DNS-based malware, and 81% took three days or more to apply the critical security patch. As telecoms are often the gateway into numerous businesses, the aim of direct cyber attacks is to access the core infrastructure of the telecom companies. Hence, there is an increasing need for protecting such infrastructure. Thus, creating opportunities for the market.

- The increasing initiatives by the government, in order to protect the defense critical infrastructures, are expected to boost the market’s growth during the forecast period. For insatnce, in March 2019, Raytheon Company announced that it would deliver advanced surveillance towers to a Middle Eastern nation to help protect that nation's borders and military installations. - Government surveillance has been brought increasingly under public scrutiny, as it increases security, and opponents are decrying its invasion of privacy. For instance, In June 2019, the AAP government formally launched a flagship scheme in which it installed 1.4 lakh CCTV cameras in public places of the city for the safety of women around the city.​ - Furthermore, over the years, activities to protect public spaces against terrorism have evolved and been strengthened, focusing on protecting critical infrastructure. North America is Expected to Hold Major Share - Owing to the growing adoption of CIP solutions and services across different end-user verticals in the region, North America is expected to be a prominent market. The region has a strong foothold of vendors, which contributes to market growth positively. Some of them include Honeywell International Inc., Raytheon Co., General Electric Co., General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Northrop Grumman Corporation. - In October 2019, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) selected Raytheon to help protect government networks. Raytheon would offer full lifecycle development and sustainment support under a new contract costing USD 1 billion. - DHS implemented a risk-informed, all-hazards approach to safeguard critical infrastructure in the cyberspace, by focusing on protections for privacy and civil liberties, transparent and accessible security processes, and international and domestic partnerships. The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency leads the nation’s efforts to protect critical infrastructure. - The United States has been witnessing a mature market in terms of CIP application. Back in 1996, the program was introduced to ensure the safety and security of critical and IT infrastructures. And in 2005, the country adopted smart grid technology to prevent power failure and promote self-repair among the connected computers. - According to US Department of Energy, the annual investment on smart grids technology in United States is expected to reach USD 13.8 billion. The increasing investment in smart grid technology to improve the reliability, flexibility, security, and efficiency of the electricity system is also driving the market in the region. - Besides, with the implementation of the National Strategy and Action Plan for Critical Infrastructure, a risk-based approach for reinforcing the resiliency of Canada's vital systems and assets such as electricity grids, transportation, communications and public safety systems is confirmed, thereby, supplementing the overall market growth. - The action plan for 2019-2020 for enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure in Canada support three strategic objectives that are identified in the National Strategy - Building partnerships, Sharing and protecting information and Implementing an all-hazards risk management approach. - In Canada, cybercrime is rapidly gaining high traction as the impact is increasing at a significant rate, and organizations across Canada are spending highly on cybersecurity. Moreover, The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) have partnered with Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance (CATAAlliance) to create the eCrime Cyber Council (ECC) to improve national cybercrime strategy for Canada. - According to the Canadian Department of Public Safety, the country suffers losses more than CAD 3.2 billion per year due to cybercrime, and SMEs account for around 71% of data breaches. In order to tackle this, the cybersecurity regulatory landscape across the region is fueled by the enforcement of Bill S-4, the Digital Privacy Act. - Moreover, according to Scalar Decisions Inc.’s 2019 study on Canadian organizations’ cyber resilience, the average cost per organization from recovering of cyber security incidents increased to between USD 4.8 million to USD 5.8 million, up from USD 3.7 million as compared to last year. - Furthermore, Statistics Canada Is planning to shift its data to digital cloud as a part of the federal governments ‘cloud-first strategy’ to seek benefits like additional processing power and storage, better data processing etc. However, such moves by the company demand high security of sensitive information. Competitive Landscape The critical infrastructure protection market is highly competitive, owing to the presence of many small and large players in the market operating their business in domestic and international markets. With the advent of infrastructure attacks, many vendors respond to the rising threat by offering critical information security solutions. These offerings have to lead to new services, technologies, and partnerships with leading essential providers of infrastructure. - June 2020 - The company and Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company (KIPIC) have participated in strategic collaboration, signing a five-year, multi-million dollar contract for services to protect, optimize and maintain operations at the Al Zour refinery and liquefied natural gas import (LNGI) terminal in southern Kuwait. - Jan 2020 - The company partnered with Amossys at International Cybersecurity Forum (FIC).

Cost savings and efficiency gains from facilities management — Software considerations (Part 1 of 3)

In this series of articles, we will be reviewing the significance and changes that technology disruption offers the Facilities Management (FM) industry. We will begin with software solutions for effective tracking of portfolios and assets, further advancing to “BIM” — an interactive 3-D model-based process that gives insight and tools to efficiently plan, design, construct and manage buildings and in part 3, we will review a new type of software developed for managing FM requirements within an organisation, epitomized by ” FM Navigate”, a new breed of Enterprise Resource Planning software that serves as a client-based system that considers facility management holistically as a value-based support service to the organisation.

Cost savings and efficiency gains from facilities management

The facility management sector has emerged from a resource-based task orientated service to a fundamental support service that empowers the businesses. This involves keeping up with the demands of increasingly diverse portfolios, advancements in multiple sites, optimising the occupancy of space by larger — scattered teams in the workplace along with other diverse administrative functions. The roles, responsibilities and engagement of the facility management industry has become more complex and vital.

Businesses expect a greater return on the investment from their assets where efficiencies and optimisations need to be demonstrated. The traditional aspects of the buildings and infrastructure also need to be effectively managed through concurrent inspections, maintenance and repairs. Now, along with taking care of the ‘core’ activities that are driven by strategic tasks adding value to the customer-supplier relationships, ‘softer elements’ or ‘non-core activities’ like space allocation, asset monitoring, booking schedules etc. should also be covered.

So, as the prerequisites and sub-processes are becoming intertwined for the successful continuation of business and commerce, the roles of facility managers become more complex and eminent. Now, the focus has to be repurposed from taking care of day-to-day inspection, maintenance and repair tasks so that the focus is on the bigger picture, providing the clients with leading-edge solutions that helps them to proliferate in the growing market.

This clearly demonstrated how much benefit is gained from a tool that collects and analyses data.

Implementing a technology tool is one of the fastest ways to reduce facility management spending. Simply moving from an error-prone, inefficient pen-and-paper system to a digitized and automated platform decreases the time and resources that must be dedicated to working order management, allowing teams to instead focus on forward-thinking and preventive measures. Plus, access to advanced analytics makes it easy to pinpoint patterns of overspend and core areas of improvement so that these can be quickly addressed and reversed.

Preventive maintenance can create cost savings and efficiencies by reducing the number of breakdowns and emergency repairs that business experiences each year, while also preventing warranty leakage and unnecessary equipment replacements. With an automated preventive maintenance schedule in place, assets will last longer, and overall maintenance spending can be accurately controlled.

Having discussed FMS and its sophisticated yet robust features, let’s consider what the industry offers from a traditional manual approach to a technology driven opportunity to capture, administer and report on relevant data in a digital format.

Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM)

CAFM systems offer features that simplify tasks, optimise workflows, eases building management tasks and ensure that the building and user-information are available as a single-source-of-truth.

Referencing to the definition of facility management, contributing to the efficient interaction of people, processes and places from an optimisation perspective. This type of technology solution combines business administration, behavioural science, architecture and engineering concepts to optimise the functioning of the organisation. It is a comprehensive commercial facility with many different facets and functions that focuses on the simplification of maintenance and repair processes.

The utilization of Real-time data to promote comprehensive maintenance

The real-time data is utilised to promote comprehensive maintenance. Real-time data collection can help facility managers to engage in preventive maintenance and proactively address any sudden fault detection in the system. Work orders can be effectively monitored and required regulatory strategies can be employed. The routine operational maintenance will be monitored, reported and communicated via digital means. Continuous data collection will facilitate prompt fault resolution without much workforce concentration at a particular task.

All of this effectively contributes to effective asset management, as the allocation of the resources at the required site will have a smarter and intelligent approach.

Physical building administration

One of the most impressive features of CAFM systems is the feature for handling the actual infrastructure inside a facility.

The utilization of CAD (Computer-aided design) elements and visuals allows us to create interactive building designs that help to previsualize the setup. It helps in effective space management inside the building and optimized resource allocation beforehand. This is eminently useful for real-estate organisations as they can present the interactive plans to customers and allow potential buyers to walk through the home that is not even built yet.

Administrative Support

CAFM isn’t entirely focused on physical facilities and assets. Such technology platforms offer a range of administrative support capabilities that can also help streamline resources.

CAFM even be used to manage human resources services and can act as a resource-allocation check system to ensure that people required in the facility are present. In addition to functioning as a human resource allocation check system, when deployed at the essential locations, this can be a bonus of increased security for the organisation without additional costs.

Since CAFM platforms cover not only the building but everything in it, administrators can use it as a roadmap for all kinds of asset management, predictive planning and meeting long-term needs, for example, planning for capital improvements. This helps to effectively cut down costs without compromising the quality and makes the facility operations happen more efficiently.

Concept Evolution — A CAFM based Facility Management Software solution

Concept Evolution from FSI (FM Solutions) is a cloud-based facilities management solution. The core functionality includes maintenance management, asset management, capital program management, lease administration and portfolio management. The solution is designed to cater to the needs of a single user as well as large multinational companies.

How facility management was transformed by CAFM?

Before CAFM, Facility Management as a profession and industry was underdeveloped in terms of its use in generating cost savings and cost reduction initiatives CAFM was the first platform to empower decision-makers to tap into the savings potential of their facilities using data. The integration with AutoCAD was key to enabling this, using imagery to make data management a user-friendly experience.

No doubt, CAFM was the first software focusing exclusively on handling facility management requests but significant and innovative improvements are lacking. Despite improvements, ‘legacy CAFMs which have developed significantly over the last 20 years can now appear to be inflexible and limited for use in the post-COVID era.

New generations of FM data driven technology solutions have been introduced, backed by 3-D modelling, cloud storage and agile features to help you steal the march on your competitors in the FM space.

Advancements in Software deployment

Software deployment has a significant impact on the organisation implementing it, if not necessarily on the eventual end-user.

On-premise software is hosted by hardware on your premises. This hardware usually requires an extensive IT team to maintain and troubleshoot, as well as the physical space to store it. On-premise also offers more options for customization, as you have almost complete control over the program. Essential staff should be extensively handling and monitoring the system regularly. Proactive fault detections and preventive strategies are absent in this case.

Cloud-based deployment is typically agile and can be a lower cost solution than on-premise, as the associated costs will invariably be cheaper than legacy on-premise systems. Customisation of a web-based system can however become costly as the value is derived from the standard product. Web-based solutions are also agile and accessible from any user portal with an internet connection, making it a lightweight and practical solution for many companies. Because the onus of data security falls on the vendor for this deployment method, most offer some of the most comprehensive security options on the market for their customers’ data. This is more accepted and user-friendly due to the absence of all hefty specially-dedicated physical systems — You just need a good internet connection and a machine to work on — anytime, anywhere.

Hybrid is, as the name suggests, a combination of the two formats. This can take many different forms and is unique to different industries. It usually includes the ability to switch from on-premise to cloud-based as the users’ needs change.

Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) — The advanced CAFM

CAFM and IWMS solutions are essentially the same but positioned at different stages in the evolution of facilities management, with IWMS being the more advanced technology that is more current than CAFM in the workplace today. IWMS can be thought of as enhanced CAFM.

IWMS is a software that is institution-specific e.g. hospitals, universities, businesses and governments all need different things from their facilities and an IWMS platform enables each to create strategies unique to their own needs. If you are managing an agile environment and need data spanning multiple locations or an entire real estate portfolio, IWMS is the way to go. This is a platform that optimizes facilities in accordance with their greater purpose whether it is related to security, compliance, productivity, wellness, sustainability or all of them.

Along with the incorporation of CAD drawings in a facilities management database, as in CAFM software, IWMS take matters a step further by integrating with increased levels of data, systems, technologies, and a deeper workflow framework that makes IWMS a more useful communication platform for all stakeholders.

Difference between CAFM and IWMS

Whereas CAFM focused more on an actionable approach — optimizing maintenance, operations, and space planning, IWMS software offers expanded deployable resources — simply reducing costs to also enhancing productivity by optimizing facilities around the missions that they support. IWMS solutions accomplish this in three primary ways.

Deeper integration

Integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, IoT sensors and other systems means deeper and more detailed data on everything. Integration with more advanced technologies like 3D BIM and GIS means a more sophisticated visual interface. Organisations can link automated systems to real-time data, providing previously impossible benefits.

Top-Down Planning

IWMS tools funnel all data into performance metrics in the form of performance dashboards, so that managers can easily generate reports, track trends, investigate workflow, measure results of initiatives, and simulate different scenarios.

Agile Workflow

An agile workflow framework allows organisations to define user roles for every level of their organisation, controlling security access while connecting even contractors in the field with mobile apps and cloud systems.

Research from Research & Markets states that the deployment of an IWMS solution leads to a reduction in facility maintenance costs of 14%, an improvement in workspace management by up to 40% and an increase in facility usage efficiency of 42% (Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) Marketplace: IWMS Platforms, Software, and Solutions Market Outlook and Forecasts 2018–2023, 2018).

Planon — A IWMS based Facility Management Software solution

Planon is a global software provider that helps to building owners and occupiers, commercial service providers, and financial controllers to streamline business processes for buildings, people and workplaces. Planon is an integrated (IWMS) software that helps national and multinational real estate owners and occupiers to optimise workplace performance by simplifying business processes and reducing costs during every phase of the real estate lifecycle. IWMS system specifically helps service providers to create operating efficiency, increase customer value, and enables business innovation through radical process automation, seamless system integration and analytics.

The Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) System

The difference between CMMS and other software solutions can be easily understood based on needs. “It is software that centralises maintenance information and facilitates the processes of maintenance operations and are unique to industries where physical infrastructure is critical. It helps optimize the utilization and availability of physical equipment like vehicles, machinery, communications, plant infrastructures and other assets.” — IBM

It is a component of CAFM that is entirely focused on handling the facility needs of a facility and who manages them. This solution is quite specific to the needs — when only maintenance outputs are important, CMMS is the way to go. The core of CMMS is the database. It has a data model that keeps the availability of assets and maintenance organisation in sync. It holds and organises the information about the assets and the maintenance organisation is responsible for maintaining the equipment, materials and other resources to do so.

Making the correct choice — IWMS vs CMMS

The singular focus of CMMS is on managing maintenance. When, other aspects of facilities management are less relevant, choosing CMMS makes it a good investment for an organisation. IWMS will however roll in the maintenance requests alongside other aspects of facilities management. It allows facilities managers to more efficiently oversee maintenance and can also shed light on common problems and the associated costs to fix them.

For example, if your role as facility manager involves fielding employee support tickets and passing them on to maintenance and other departments, IWMS is a good option. But, if support tickets are submitted directly to maintenance or an office manager, a CMMS would suffice.

Rimac Campus in Sveta Nedelja

19 Apr 2021

Rimac Campus

Design: 3LHD architects

Location: Sveta Nedelja, Zagreb County, Croatia

The Rimac Campus is located 16 km from the centre of Zagreb, Croatia’s capital city. It sits in a unique position as it is surrounded by a natural landscape yet still well connected to the highway and airport.

The most prominent building on the north side is Erdody Castle which is perched above the site. The relation to the castle and topography determined the position of future buildings and outdoor spaces. The two new above-ground volumes, fluid in shape, follow the natural topography and house the production facility and the office building (R&D). The third connecting volume is hidden in the landscape and houses a restaurant, kindergarten and utility spaces. Covered with a green roof, it blurs the boundary between the built form and the natural landscape. All buildings of the campus are designed as pavilions, accessible from all sides.

The campus can be accessed from two directions – east and west, giving quick access to logistics teams and employees, while guests are directed towards the main square through carefully designed urban spaces.

The main square of the campus is a place where everyone is welcome, and an access point for all other facilities on campus. It features great views of the Erdody Castle and an urban wetland, a new habitat for a multitude of species that will foster biodiversity on site. The restaurant, located in the center of the square, gathers employees, clients and visitors around the “same table”, encouraging them to socialize within a family atmosphere. It has views of the square, castle to the north and the sheep meadow in the south allowing employees and visitors to work and stay in a unique and inspiring setting. The restaurant also serves as a link between the production facility and the office building, further emphasizing the accessible and fluid character of the campus.

The production facility, the largest volume on the campus, is designed to be as efficient and as adaptable as possible. It enables cutting-edge technology and hypercar production as well as the flexibility for future development and growth of the company.

The museum is linked with the main square, production facility and the restaurant. It is designed as a two-storey volume. As the museum space sits on a slope, a ramp links the different spaces of the exhibition. The ramp navigates visitors through the exhibition. Every curve on the ramp will lead visitors to new insights and discoveries.

The office building is organized around two closed multi-storey atriums. One features an auditorium – a space for lectures, projections and social events, and the other one is a green oasis primarily intended for independent work and employee relaxation. Atriums are an essential design element, as they provide bilateral workspace lighting. Deep overhangs on the facade bring a lot of daylight into the space without direct exposure to the sun. Flexible workspaces allow users to personalize their own space and create preferred working environments.

The kindergarten building is located on a quieter part of campus, away from noise and traffic. The southern orientation and a multitude of open and semi-open zones make it an ideal environment for play and learning. Children come into contact with the animals present on the campus, and develop motor and social skills through outdoor activities such as gardening and animal care.

Contact with nature is also made through a dormitory consisting of cabins scattered in the forest. These are temporary residence spaces for employees that still allow them privacy in a picturesque setting. Sports, recreational facilities, and common areas for socializing and team building are located nearby.

The entire campus is surrounded by forest and agricultural land. Plant species intended for planting are primarily indigenous with minimal maintenance requirements and fully adapted to the climatic conditions of the site. Vegetation within the campus also has a functional role: it provides edible fruits, contributes to the ecological features of the space, provides shade, serves as a safety barrier for passage to the roofs and is a noise reduction element.

All campus facilities are connected by a series of pedestrian paths that will allow free circulation for all users on the site. After working hours, the internal road will serve as a testing track for Rimac Automobili. Corners of the road are inspired by the world’s famous race tracks.

The sustainability concept for the campus combines modern technology and natural energy resources – harnessing energy from renewable resources (photovoltaics on the roof of the production facility) and a geothermal heat pump system (that will use the underground water for heating and cooling and play a significant role in the reduction of CO2 emissions).

By intertwining nature with modern technology, the new and the old – the campus represents harmony and balance.

The project is being developed with the help of VOLUM3 – a collaborative platform 3LHD helped develop in the past few years. VOLUM3 is based on real needs of an architectural office. It was created in response to communication problems that arise during design and construction. It is intended for architects, construction engineers and other stakeholders in construction projects. It makes project management fast and easy – deadlines, tasks and responsibilities of individual project collaborators are clearly managed. All project info is stored in a cloud-based platform, safe and always available. VOLUM3 modules are digital versions of real-life workflows – everything is project related. It does not change the users’ workflow: https://volum3.com/en/

DevOps: The Complete Guide to Understand DevOps Lifecycle

Is DevOps Good For Developers? In most cases, software application development becomes time consuming due to its complexity. To deliver an application in a short period, app developers follow a universal set of practices called the DevOps lifecycle.

So what is DevOps in the world of application development? Let’s dive into its meaning, uses, and into each critical phase of the DevOps lifecycle.

What is DevOps?

DevOps is a culture that encourages collaboration between the development and operations team to bring code into production faster in an automated and repeatable way. The word DevOps is a combination of two words operations and development. As per DevOps developers, it helps to increase the speed of an organization to deliver apps and services. 

However, it enables organizations to serve their customers better and compete more strongly in the marketplace. Simply, DevOps is an alignment of IT development and operations with proficient collaboration and communication.

How is DevOps Implemented in the Development Phase

DevOps LIfeCycle

DevOps is deep integration between development and operations. You can’t understand it without knowing the DevOps lifecycle. Here is some brief information on the continuous DevOps life cycle. Have a quick look:

Continuous Development

At this stage of DevOps, software development happens continuously. According to the Android and iOS developers in Toronto, the entire development procedure isolates into short development cycles. In this way, it becomes easier for a DevOps team to speed up the software development and distribution process.

Continuous Integration

After the Continuous Development, phase comes Continuous Integration, and the first phase automatically translates into the second. This phase involves different steps, including planning the test execution to be carried out in the test phase. Also, understand the project requirements provided by the customer to incorporate the necessary features into the software product.

However, AppStudio a proficient agency states, the stage involves changes to the source code frequently, and often on a daily or weekly basis. Many refer to the Continuous Integration stage as the overall DevOps lifecycle. Moreover, this is the phase where problems in code will catch early on.

Continuous Planning

To start the process and support development and operational teams in dealing with a rapidly changing environment, they must have a plan in place. In DevOps, a backlog is created and prioritize any time during the lifecycle and adjusted accordingly. Planning adjustments must be frequent to accommodate rapid changes in business requirements.

Tight integration between planning and execution is necessary for this cyclical process. Furthermore, it is achievable by planning small batch quantities, executing the strategies and adjusting the planning where required.

Continuous Deployment

This phase requires the system to deploy the software in a specific environment automatically, but not in a customer environment. However, as per competent Android app development company, continuous deployment is a prerequisite for a constant delivery phase.

Continuous Monitoring

In this phase, the operations team will address improper system behaviour or bugs found in production.

Continuous Testing

After a successful build, it is automatically applied to the staging environment for more in-depth, off-band testing. The staging environment may be an existing hosting service, or it may be a new environment provided as part of the deployment process.

This phase of the developer life cycle automatically provides a unique environment upon deployment, referred to as Infrastructure as Code and is a core part of many DevOps pipelines.

Additionally, the tests performed during these DevOps lifecycle phases depend on the organization and what’s relevant to the application. Still, this stage can be thought of as a test platform where you can install new tests without interrupting the developer flow or impacting the production environment.

Continuous Releasing

The Release Phase is an essential milestone in the DevOps development cycle. However, that’s when we say the build is ready to deploy to a production environment. At this point, each code change goes through a series of manual and automated tests.

Depending on the DevOps maturity of an organization, they can choose to automatically deploy any builds that make it to this stage of DevOps lifecycle. Developers can use feature flags to turn off new features so customers can’t see them until they’re ready for action. 

This model is considered as DevOps nirvana and is the way organizations manage to deploy multiple releases of their products every day.

Continuous Operating

The operations team is now working hard, making sure everything runs smoothly. Based on the configuration of the hosting service, the environment automatically adjusts to load to handle peaks and troughs in the number of active users.

Organizations have also developed ways for their customers to provide feedback on their services. Also, tools that help gather and prioritize this feedback to help shape future product development. 

This feedback loop matters – no one knows better what they want than a customer, and customers are the best team of testers in the world, contributing more hours to testing the app than the DevOps pipeline can do.

What is The Role and Responsibility of DevOps?

CI / CD Pipeline Maintenance

Being part of a DevOps team means you have the responsibility to create a CI / CD pipeline and optimize processes and tools. DevOps-minded developers will see ways they can continuously improve the pipeline, from people to operations. The team will shift testing and QA further to the left in the development cycle, allowing the team to test without restricting speed continually.

On-call Incident Management

With shared responsibility and ownership of the code, DevOps teams must assume on-call responsibilities and incident management work. But the more time the DevOps engineers spend responding to incidents, the more they learn about their work systems. So over time, developers start writing code that is better suited to their applications and infrastructure.

Is DevOps Good For Developers?

DevOps is not that much old. Many DevOps professionals started as multilingual programmers with some experience in infrastructure management. The general trait is the ability to move between system administration, testing, and development. You can quickly get started in DevOps in mobile app development as long as you are willing to learn new tools and technologies.

A career in DevOps requires curiosity and a willingness to cross-train outside of your comfort zone. Also, the assumptions of your current role. Being a successful bridge between teams wants a common understanding of the work. The broad approach will help to gain practical experience in different positions and settings. Additionally, developers can continuously learn new technologies and skills that can be applied elsewhere.

Concluding Thoughts

The DevOps approach is emerging as the way to go when it comes to developing apps. However, it meets the highest quality standards and at the same time, delivers with a faster time to market. The future belongs to DevOps as we expect to see more and more dynamic applications developed.

Also, you can keep up with the changing market demands and user requirements. As DevOps continues to grow, the future will also see rapid advancements in the field of automation test tools.
