DevOps

DevOps is a set of practices, tools, and cultural philosophies that automates and integrates the processes between software development and IT operations teams. It aims to shorten the development life cycle, increase deployment frequency, and ensure high-quality software production and updates.

Key Components and Practices

Continuous Integration (CI)

Developers frequently merge their code changes into a central repository, after which automated builds and tests are run.

Continuous Delivery (CD)

Automates the delivery of applications to selected infrastructure environments, ensuring that the software can be reliably released at any time.

Microservices

An architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable definition files.

Monitoring and Logging

Continuous monitoring of applications and their environments to quickly react to problems, along with logging for insight into application performance and issues.

Communication and Collaboration

Emphasizes the importance of culture, sharing, and active collaboration between development and operations teams.

Automation

Relies heavily on automation to streamline the software development process.

Security

Integrates security practices into the development lifecycle, often referred to as DevSecOps.

The goal of DevOps is to create a working environment where building, testing, and releasing software can happen rapidly, frequently, and more reliably, thus enabling organizations to serve their customers better and compete more strongly in the market.
