Abstract
DevOps has significantly improved the software development life-cycle by enabling fast, automated, and continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD). However, its application to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) presents unique challenges that require rethinking of traditional practices. DevOps in CPS becomes even more challenging when we consider sustainability, which is becoming increasingly important in all parts of society.

In this position paper, we suggest that sustainability, though often overlooked, needs more attention in DevOps for CPS. Through insights gathered from a multi-industry workshop, we identify relevant sustainability goals, such as optimizing resource usage, and key barriers to sustainability in DevOps for CPS,... (More)
DevOps has significantly improved the software development life-cycle by enabling fast, automated, and continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD). However, its application to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) presents unique challenges that require rethinking of traditional practices. DevOps in CPS becomes even more challenging when we consider sustainability, which is becoming increasingly important in all parts of society.

In this position paper, we suggest that sustainability, though often overlooked, needs more attention in DevOps for CPS. Through insights gathered from a multi-industry workshop, we identify relevant sustainability goals, such as optimizing resource usage, and key barriers to sustainability in DevOps for CPS, such as difficulties in measuring sustainability improvements. To overcome these challenges, we propose strategies, such as using tools for reproducible builds, but also incorporation of sustainability goals into the organization and possibly in alignment with financial goals. We further see a need for more guidelines and frameworks specifically targeting sustainability. (Less)
