DevOps is a set of practices and cultural philosophies aimed at automating and integrating the processes of software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). It emphasizes collaboration between development and operations teams to shorten the development lifecycle, improve software quality, and enable continuous delivery. Key principles include automation, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), infrastructure as code (IaC), monitoring, and feedback loops. DevOps promotes agile practices and seeks to reduce manual errors, streamline workflows, and improve system reliability and scalability. Popular tools associated with DevOps include Docker, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Ansible. It fosters faster, more efficient software development and deployment.
