The latest Puppet State of DevOps Report shows that 63% of the respondents have at least one internal platform. Platforms are vital enablers for a more DevOps way of working as they provide self-service capabilities that development teams can autonomously utilize. The definition of a “platform” isn't set in stone though. Many organizations still struggle to put together a platform team that is really able to add value to the development teams.
