The Role Of Enterprise Devops Engineering In Modern Society: Societal Impact Of High-Reliability Software Systems
Abstract
Modern society increasingly relies on large-scale software transfers to facilitate financial transactions, online commerce, and safe information exchange. Enterprise DevOps engineering is a field of practice that ensures the continuous availability, security, and reliability of critical digital infrastructure at scale. Although productivity and efficiency are used as the common operational definitions of DevOps, the overall impact of the concept on society is not yet well examined in the academic sources. This article explores the social application of enterprise Devops engineering, specifically in [1]high-reliability financial systems that underpin daily economic operations. The presentation positions DevOps as a crucial digital infrastructure, comparable to standard utilities, where disruptions can have significant effects on society, potentially impacting millions of people simultaneously. The reliability of the system is directly linked to economic stability and trust among the population, which makes DevOps practices critical instruments for ensuring the confidence of digital services. Compliance with regulations and consumer responsibility is an increasingly important area, and global standards provide guidelines for the application of DevOps in a controlled setting. Chaos engineering techniques and resilience engineering practices are important in ensuring system tolerance to failure, especially in the event of a crisis, to provide continuity to society. Enterprise DevOps engineering has developed into a kind of digital stewardship, which carries enormous implications for society, well beyond the organizational scope.
