2,555x faster lead times with DevOps and self-service1
Developers love creating apps and seeing them come to life. But one of the drawbacks of a traditional, infrastructure-focused environment is that developers lose a sense of what their code is doing. Release cycles are long and changes are slow. And because of that prolonged lead time, developers risk losing the joy of creating apps and seeing them work in the real world.
How do you remedy this? You give developers access to the resources necessary to get the job done. And doing so requires a self-service infrastructure.

Developers shouldn’t be forced to wait days for a computing resource. With an elastic, self-service infrastructure, developers have the freedom to request and receive an instance according to exact specifications almost immediately. In some organizations, this can take the lead time for new instances down from days to minutes. But how do you go about setting up this kind of infrastructure? Fortunately, that’s something Red Hat can help with.
Red Hat technology has helped us to work in a more efficient way, with speed and agility as the biggest outcomes.

One Red Hat® customer introduced a self-service catalog so that developers could rapidly request virtual systems. The customer lowered the time to get a requested system from 5 days to about 15 minutes—and changed the process from manual to automatic.2
Requested virtual systems reduced from 5 days to 15 minutes
An on-demand, elastic infrastructure is the technical counterpart to DevOps. Empowered by both, developers create faster, iterate quicker, and have the satisfaction of seeing their apps come to life.

With developers creating and iterating faster through DevOps and a self-service infrastructure, you’re all set for stage 3: Automation.
