DevOps
DevOps combines software development and IT operations, it is a cross-disciplinary set of practices that is designed to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high quality software. It is dedicated to the study of building, evolving and operating rapidly-changing systems at scale.
From design to development to production, DevOps sees development and operations engineers working together over the entire service life cycle. Staff from both operations and development will use the same techniques for their systems work.
Today, a DevOps engineer is usually part of a team whose job it is to adhere to the above practices. Adopting DevOps in business streamlines security, patching and updates so that fewer people and less time are required to make things function or correct errors.
