Incorporating Cloud Native Architecture and DevOps Culture to Improve Company Agility

Currently, many companies rely on information technology as the basis of their business processes. Several infrastructure procurements were carried out and several applications were built. However, some companies still do those two things slowly or manually and make their technology strategy not work well. It makes companies not agile towards changes in competition in their market business. This study investigates the slow provision of infrastructure and the manual deployment of applications at one company in the electric vehicle sector that is focused on building a stable and reliable digital ecosystem for electric motorcycles. The goal is to explore how Cloud-Native Architecture (CNA) and DevOps culture can accelerate those two processes through automation. The research method used is qualitative descriptive, employing the DevOps model within the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). This study proposes the implementation of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Version Control Systems (VCS), and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). The research findings demonstrate that the use of CNA and DevOps culture can reduce the time required for infrastructure provisioning and application deployment, decrease human errors, improve documentation consistency, and enhance overall system reliability within the company environment. The results of this study can increase the knowledge base about the synergy between CNA and DevOps. It can also be a consideration for other companies that want to implement CNA and DevOps simultaneously in their organization.
