DevOps brings software development and IT operations together so that changes can be delivered quickly, safely and reliably. It is as much about culture as it is about tools.
The problem DevOps solves
Traditionally developers wrote code and handed it to a separate operations team to deploy. Delays and misunderstandings were common. DevOps makes both groups share responsibility for running software.
Key practices
- Version control for all code and configuration
- Continuous integration that builds and tests every change
- Automated, repeatable deployments
- Monitoring and alerting in production
Business benefits
Organisations that adopt DevOps practices typically release smaller changes more often, recover from problems faster and spend less time on manual, error-prone tasks.
Starting small
You do not need to transform everything at once. Automating deployments for one important application is a great first step.
DevOps helps technology keep pace with the business. Faster, safer releases mean customers get improvements sooner.
