The word DevOps is a contraction of ‘Development’ and ‘Operations’. DevOps is a set of best practices that emphasize the collaboration and communication of IT professionals (developers, operators, and support staff) in the lifecycle of applications and services, leading to:
? Continuous Integration: easy hand-off from Development to Operations and Support ? Continuous Deployment: release continuously or as often as possible ? Continuous Feedback: seek feedback from stakeholders during all lifecycle stages
DevOps changes how individuals think about their work; DevOps values the diversity of work done, supports intentional processes that accelerate the rate by which businesses realize value, and measures the effect of social and technical change. DevOps is a way of thinking and a way of working that enables individuals and organizations to develop and maintain sustainable work practices.
