Why do companies struggle to implement a DevOps culture?

Since DevOps began being implemented within companies, one of the concepts brought together was its fundamental culture.

Which leads us to the question: what is DevOps culture? According to this Atlassian article:

At its essence, a DevOps culture involves closer collaboration and shared responsibility between development and operations for the products they create and maintain. It helps companies align their people, processes, and tools toward a more unified customer focus.

Realistically, embedding DevOps culture within companies can sometimes be difficult to implement. This can be due to many factors, including how adopting a new culture can be challenging for staff who are used to the current way of working.
However, Google has shown how software delivery can be faster by using DORA metrics, which is a part of this culture.

Still, developers want to showcase better performance and have functional and efficient workflows to deliver their code faster between the environments without needing to dive deep into a complex operational side of things. In addition to this, they will need to familiarize themselves with topics like cluster management, sysadmin and so many others.

So how can we find a resolution to this? Well, there are many options like DevOps as a Service or a Developer Control Plane, which focuses primarily on the developer experience and enhancing its performance overall with software delivery and tooling.
If you are interested in learning about Developer Control Plane, I invite you to read this article.

Now, what do you think about DevOps culture? Do you think this is one of those beautiful concepts on paper that might not be practical when actioned? Let's discuss it!
