DevOps
DevOps is a set of practices and cultural philosophies that integrate software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to enhance an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services more efficiently and reliably. By promoting collaboration, communication, and automation, DevOps aims to shorten the development lifecycle, improve deployment frequency, and ensure high quality in software releases. Key components of DevOps include continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), infrastructure as code (IaC), monitoring, and feedback loops.
