What is DevOps?

DevOps is a software development method that emphasizes collaboration and communication between development and operations teams in order to improve the speed and quality of software delivery.

It encompasses :

  1. Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) processes and tools, such as Jenkins, Travis CI, and CircleCI.
  2. Source code management systems, such as Git and SVN.
  3. Infrastructure as code (IaC) tools, such as Terraform, Ansible, and Puppet.
  4. Monitoring (networks, servers, VMs and cloud-services) and logging tools, such as Nagios, Zabbix, and Elastic Stack (previously known as ELK Stack).
  5. Containerization and container orchestration tools, such as Docker and Kubernetes.
  6. Cloud computing platforms, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  7. Network and security concepts, such as firewalls, load balancers, and encryption.

DevOps practice requires strong communication and collaboration skills, as well as a willingness to embrace an agile, iterative development approach.
