Abstract
The article investigates the impact of modern cloud technologies on the efficiency of DevOps processes, which are key to the automation, flexibility and reliability of software development. With the rapid development of information technology, cloud platforms play an important role in accelerating software product development, testing and deployment. Implementing DevOps in the cloud environment reduces the time to market, increases the stability of software systems and optimizes the use of computing resources, which is critical for modern companies. This paper discusses DevOps teamsʼ main challenges, including the need to scale infrastructure rapidly, ensure continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), automate testing, monitor performance, and optimize costs. Particular attention is paid to security problems, configuration management and the human factor minimization when implementing program code changes. A comparative analysis of the three leading cloud platforms - Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure – is carried out in the context of their impact on DevOps processes. The possibilities of automation, support for container technologies, infrastructure scalability, monitoring tools, and integration with CI/CD pipelines are evaluated. AWS was found to offer the broadest set of DevOps tools with a high level of automation, making it an attractive choice for organizations focused on complex enterprise solutions. Google Cloud Platform demonstrates the best support for Kubernetes and containerization, an essential factor for teams working with microservices architecture. Microsoft Azure provides the most profound integration with the Microsoft ecosystem and is the best choice for companies that use Windows and related products. An experimental study has shown that the choice of a cloud platform significantly impacts the speed of release cycles, the stability of the deployed infrastructure, the ability to respond quickly to changes in load, and the productivity of DevOps teams in general. Recommendations for choosing the optimal cloud platform are proposed depending on the specifics of the project, the scale of the organization, the level of system load, and automation requirements
