DevOps is a set of practices, tools, and cultural philosophies that aim to improve collaboration and communication between software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) teams. The goal is to shorten the development lifecycle, improve software quality, and enable continuous delivery of applications and services.
Here’s a breakdown of the core aspects of DevOps:
1. Core Principles of DevOps:
Collaboration: Encourages cross-functional collaboration between developers, IT operations, and other stakeholders to reduce silos.
Automation: Automating repetitive tasks like testing, deployment, and monitoring to improve efficiency and reduce human error.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD): Ensures code changes are integrated and delivered to production frequently and reliably.
Monitoring and Feedback: Continuous monitoring of applications and infrastructure, with a feedback loop to quickly detect and fix issues.
