DevOps is a compound of development (Dev) and operations (Ops). It’s a methodology that unifies people, processes, and technology to continually provide value to customers. DevOps enables formerly siloed roles—such as development, IT operations, quality engineering, and security—to coordinate and collaborate to produce better, more reliable products.

Key aspects:

Culture: DevOps fosters a culture of collaboration and shared responsibility among the teams involved in the software development lifecycle, breaking down traditional silos.

Practices: It includes practices like continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automated testing to improve the quality and speed of software delivery.

Tools: DevOps relies on a range of tools to automate and integrate the various stages of software development, from coding and building to testing and deployment.

The goal of DevOps is to shorten the systems development life cycle while delivering features, fixes, and updates frequently in close alignment with business objectives. This improved collaboration and productivity is integral to achieving business goals like accelerating time to market, adapting to the market and competition, maintaining system stability and reliability, and improving the mean time to recovery.
