It is perhaps not surprising that Etsy was an early adopter of DevOps. It is a relatively small company, with a start-up culture, and its move to DevOps was championed by company leaders. Do you think deploying DevOps practices would be more difficult in a larger, more established organization? How might a company begin to make the cultural changes needed to move to the more collaborative, rapid-deployment approach that DevOps offers?

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, deploying DevOps practices in larger organization would be more difficult;

a culture is to be built where it is safe to fail, learn from it and eventually improve;

the cultural changes are to be achieved in order to address challenges of delivery and operations;

the testing process is to be automated so that different teams can make changes and quickly check whether things are in place; and

the changes could be reversed in case the problem arises.

A responsive development process:

1. is an iterative system development approach used for developing the system in terms of sprints;

2. includes the time period from two weeks to two months.

3. includes the communication between users, developers, testers and managers; and

4. focuses on quality of project development.

Cheers.
