Abstract
DevOps is the fuse of tasks performed by a company’s application development and systems operations teams. The team DevOps is being used in distinct ways. DevOps is a major innovation in Information System development. In its most broad definition, DevOps is an operational ideology that stimulate better communication between development and operations as more elements of operations become programmable. The DevOps approach seeks to meld application development and deployment into a more streamlined process that aligns development quality assurance (QA) and operations team efforts. This approach also shifts some of the operation team’s responsibilities back to the development team in order to facilitate continuous development, continuous integration, continuous delivery and continuous monitoring processes. The necessity for tearing down the silos between development and operations has been expedited by the need to release code faster and more often in order to help the organization respond in a more agile manner to changing business requirements. Other drivers for breaking down the silos include the increasing use of cloud computing and advances in software defined infrastructures, microservices, containers and automation.
