DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Software Development) and IT operations (IT Operations) to shorten the development lifecycle and deliver high-quality software continuously. It emphasizes collaboration, communication, and integration between developers and operations teams, fostering a culture of shared responsibility. By implementing automation tools and processes, DevOps enables organizations to deploy applications more frequently and reliably. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also improves the ability to respond to customer needs and market changes, ultimately leading to better business outcomes.
