A software development approach combining Development (Dev) and Operations (Ops) to streamline software delivery, emphasizing collaboration, automation, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), and rapid deployment.
Key aspects of Devops include:
- Collaboration: Close teamwork between developers, testers, and operations teams.
- Automation: Minimizing manual processes in testing, building, deployment, and infrastructure management.
- Continuous Integration (CI): Automatically merging code changes frequently.
- Continuous Delivery (CD): Automating code deployment to production.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Managing infrastructure using code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).
- Monitoring and Feedback: Constant monitoring for quick identification and correction of issues.
- Culture: Encourages shared responsibility, agile practices, and iterative improvements.
DevOps aims for faster releases, higher quality software, and improved collaboration.
