Amazon Web Services offers customizable services that allow businesses to build and deliver products more rapidly and reliably by combining AWS with DevOps techniques. These services make it easier to supply and manage infrastructure, automate software release processes, deploy application code, and track application and infrastructure performances.
Many modern operating systems rely on full automation to eliminate manual intervention or access to production environments, software releases, machine configuration, operating system patching, troubleshooting, and bug fixes. Many different levels of automation can be combined to create a higher-level end-to-end automated process.
DevOps is a set of cultural concepts, practices, and tools that improve an organisation's ability to provide applications and services at high speeds: faster than standard software development and infrastructure management processes can evolve and improve. Consultancy companies allow businesses to better serve their clients and compete in the marketplace.
Here are the top AWS cloud and DevOps automation trends changing the face of IT Infrastructure in 2024
-
Low-code development is becoming more popular
Clients use a low-code strategy to build customer-facing web apps, data collection apps, business workflow processes, and automation use cases to speed up digital transformation efforts in 2024. This low-code platform lets IT professionals spend less time on trivial use cases and extra time on business-critical and sophisticated use cases.
Several businesses have turned to low-code in pandemic conditions to swiftly design and deploy applications. The switch to low-code software is expected to achieve substantial attention by 2024. Low-code is designed to cover the full software development cycle as it becomes more popular.
This program will aid in developing ideas, software designs, code, testing, release management, documentation, and other areas of software. AWS Amplify Studio aids with the development of cloud-native applications with minimum or no code changes.

Microservices architecture
In 2024, DevOps will most likely be an introduction to tiny modifications in the cycle that become smooth. In 2018, the global Microservices architecture market was worth $2,073 million, with $8,073 million by 2026. DevOps is vital, according to 80 percent of respondents, according to Statista. In 2021, microservices architecture was expected to be one of the most cutting-edge applications. It separates data into flexible and scalable pieces and independent units or entities.
The necessity for new version deployment has arisen in DevOps, and you cannot proceed with the distribution of only minor features or functionality. Microservices architecture consists of a collection of small, autonomous services that have been used in this approach. DevOps with microservices architecture effectively overcomes the complexity involved by facilitating the supply cycle.

Mainframe to cloud-native application modernization
Due to long project execution times, a significant chance of migration failure, and expensive modernization costs, many mainframe migration projects are frequently interrupted or abandoned. AWS recently introduced mainframe modernization capabilities and tools for relocating mainframe workloads with lower modernization costs, shorter project length, and lower project risk.
These solutions assist in the automated discovery of mainframe source code and the auto-refactoring of mainframe source code into advanced programming languages under modern engineering best practices and the migration of mainframe data to an AWS database.
Banking, insurance and manufacturing companies are eager to migrate mainframe workloads to cloud-native architectures to boost scalability and agility in delivering new business features and remain competitive. They intend to lower the total cost of ownership over time. However, due to various constraints, businesses are hesitant to develop a strategy for mainframe workload migration.
-
Becoming serverless
Serverless computing has evolved as a new and exciting method of deploying software and other services. Serverless computing streamlines DevOps operations while improving architectural scalability and lowering expenses. The serverless architecture market is heavily projecting to new standards and decreasing infrastructure costs because of the new frontier of DevOps.
DevOps covers the complete software lifecycle, from development through deployment, testing, and maintenance, all in one place when automating software development. The adoption of serverless architecture eliminates the need for developers to worry about maintenance. Serverless computing is now assisting developers in reducing their workload by handling servers maintenance tasks like system updates and cloud monitoring.
It gives huge benefits to DevOps by bringing Dev and Ops teams together and minimising their discrepancies. Developers do not need access to infrastructure execution because they are connected to cloud servers. Without the requirement to construct, test, and deploy a host, serverless computing creates code for DevOps pipelines.
-
The usage of automation
On the other hand, DevOps automation boosts software delivery speed while simultaneously reducing lead time and considering the "automate everything" concept. It has several useful features, including faster market access and better workflow, and some of the most common
advantages include driving flexibility and agility. Automation quickens the speed of everything in DevOps, and it's been crucial in providing the desired results to the client.
It can significantly improve the build, deployment, and monitoring, and an automated plan has become a must in DevOps to eliminate errors caused by human error or ignorance.
-
Infrastructural foundations
Many enterprises are attempting to access the cloud as a result of the current and recent situation in the world. IT infrastructure consultancy requires the ability to easily transfer, expand, or re-create whatever is operating on old on-premises servers, whether due to office closures or because the servers were built on-premises.
-
Legacy custom-built applications for container migration
To gain scalability, mobility, and cost benefits, organisations are investigating containerisation technologies to accelerate application workloads on the cloud. Container and serverless technologies available in the AWS Cloud technology, such as AWS Lambda, Amazon EKS, and ECS, can host custom-built Java and.NET Framework applications.
Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS support both Windows and Linux-based containers. Application migration to AWS containers may be faster and risk-free with the support of DevSecOps and the AIOps continuous integration and deployment pipeline. AWS App2 Containers aid in analysing on-premises applications, creating deployment artefacts, and deploying applications at the AWS Containerization Services scale.
