DevOps has emerged as a crucial methodology for software development and deployment. DevOps bridges the gap between development and operations teams, fostering collaboration and enabling continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). At the heart of DevOps lies automation, which streamlines deployment pipelines, enhances productivity, and ensures rapid, reliable software delivery.

Think of your network device firmware as a fortress that can withstand attacks and protect you from potential threats in the digital world. It acts as a guardian, keeping hackers and malicious software at bay so you can be confident that your data is safe. However, any imposing medieval fortress standing tall and proud with seemingly impenetrable walls, no matter how strong it seems, can't keep up with a relentless barrage from the latest weaponry.

Modern hybrid IT estates generate huge volumes of data at velocity, a testament to today’s digital reality. But for IT Operations Management (ITOM) teams charged with keeping tabs on system health, this data proliferation can be a nightmare scenario.
