Many IT – teams still operate like a relay race by handing off work from development to operations without much collaboration. While this may have worked in slower times, the digital age demands a different rhythm. Think less baton-passing, more football by agile teamwork, constant communication, and shared goals.

DevOps Is the New Playbook

DevOps is more than a buzzword; it is a practical framework for high-performing teams. The DevOps Foundation certification lays the groundwork by equipping teams to collaborate, automate, and deliver value continuously.

According to the DevOps Institute, DevOps adopters experience 60 times fewer failures and 46 times faster recovery from incidents. The message is clear where integration wins.

Malaysia’s Digital Leap Needs Agile Teams

Malaysia is not staying behind. The MyDIGITAL Blueprint, a government-led initiative, prioritises cross-functional digital capabilities and automation across public and private sectors. As government services, financial institutions, and manufacturers go digital, the demand for teams that work across silos grows louder. DevOps skills are no longer optional but they are foundational.

Think Culture, Not Just Code

DevOps is not just about tools but it is a mindset shift. The DevOps Foundation course teaches cultural change, agile workflows, Lean thinking, and fast feedback. It helps organisations break down walls between developers and IT operations, ensuring both sides build and run systems with shared accountability.

From Silos to Synergy: A Real-World View

Imagine a team building a public transport app. In the old model, developers build it, then toss it to IT to manage. But what if bugs appear or performance lags?

With DevOps, both teams plan and execute together from day one which proven minimising delays, improving quality, and responding faster to public needs.

DevOps Is No Longer Niche

DevOps has gone mainstream. As TechTarget reports, over 80% of large organisations have already adopted DevOps practices. In Malaysia, more companies and government-linked agencies are integrating DevOps into hiring criteria and internal training programmes. It is now a competitive necessity

Building Tomorrow’s Digital Champions

DevOps is about more than speed. It is about building resilient, responsive, and empowered teams that can adapt in real time. Whether you are in public service, logistics, banking, or IT, DevOps helps your team deliver what matters by being way faster, safer, and better.

Ready or Not, the Future Is Here

As digital transformation accelerates, the big question is not “Should we embrace DevOps?” but “How soon can we start?” The sooner your team learns to play as one, the closer you are to winning in today’s digital game.
