ABSTRACT
DevOps is a software development approach that emphasize collaboration, communication and integration between development and operation teams to improve the speed and efficiency of software delivery. DevOps aims to automate and streamline the software development and deployment process. Nevertheless, when a software organization adopts DevOps, several challenges on infrastructure management, limited agility, scalability, increased cost, inconsistent environment, and security risks are faced. A solution is to adopt DevOps and Cloud together, but the integration requires advice because implementing new approaches for development and operations at the same time is also a challenge. The aim of this study is to identify and categorize success factors that positively influence the adoption of DevOps and Cloud in software organization and propose an integrated framework for factors of both dimensions. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to collect the primary studies related to both fields for analysis. After the SLR, 40 success factors related to DevOps and Cloud are collected. These identified factors are further categorized into Technical, Organizational, and Social & Culture areas. The proposed framework can help practitioners and researchers to concentrate on the crucial areas that are essential for the successful adoption of DevOps and Cloud.
