What is DevOps?

Practices combining software development and IT operations for faster, more reliable delivery.

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to shorten the development lifecycle and deliver features, fixes, and updates more frequently and reliably. Key practices include continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), infrastructure as code, automated testing, monitoring, and cross-functional team collaboration. DevOps maturity is a key enabler for digital transformation.
