DevOps is a set of practices that aims to improve the collaboration and communication between software development and IT operations teams. DevOps also focuses on automating and streamlining the processes of building, testing, deploying, and monitoring software applications.
The term DevOps is a combination of two words: development and operations. It reflects the idea that these two functions should work together more closely and share responsibilities for delivering high-quality software products and services to customers.
DevOps is not a specific tool, framework, or methodology. Rather, it is a culture and mindset that encourages continuous improvement, feedback, and learning. DevOps teams use various tools and techniques to implement DevOps practices, such as agile methodologies, version control, configuration management, continuous integration, continuous delivery, continuous testing, continuous monitoring, and cloud computing.
The benefits of DevOps include faster delivery of software features and fixes, improved customer satisfaction and loyalty, reduced costs and risks, increased productivity and efficiency, and enhanced innovation and competitiveness.
