System Initiative (SI) has announced the release of a new open source tool for managing DevOps workflows. The tool, known as a digital twin, creates a model of the DevOps environment, simplifying the management of complex workflows at scale.

The digital twin tool, developed by SI, provides a visual interface to access models of IT environments. The platform’s automation framework uses the relationships between models to dynamically infer configuration and generate typescript code. This code can then be applied by a DevOps team to automate tasks.

By providing real-time feedback and eliminating the need for state files, the digital twin tool streamlines the complexity of DevOps workflows. SI believes that this approach heralds the arrival of a new era in software development and deployment, which they call DevOps 2.0.

Traditionally, many organizations have relied on custom code to support DevOps workflows, resulting in inconsistency and varied quality. The SI digital twin tool aims to create code that can be consistently applied to programmatically create DevOps workflows, improving the productivity of developers and DevOps teams.

SI argues that existing DevOps platforms and frameworks are fundamentally broken and proposes an alternative approach to management. By creating models that represent digital twins of DevOps environments, SI’s tool seeks to transform the way DevOps is managed, particularly when combined with artificial intelligence capabilities.

While the transition to this new approach may take time, DevOps teams that value automation will likely experiment with technologies that promise to simplify their work. However, the challenge will be identifying technologies that live up to the current hype and can be easily adopted.
