Understanding DevOps | What is DevOps?
662DevOps is a widely used term, but people interpret it differently. What does it mean and what does it really take to implement DevOps and Continuous Delivery? Ideas like DevOps Pipelines (Deployment Pipelines) implementing the core technical practices of Continuous Delivery, Continuous Deployment, Continuous Integration and DevOps automation are at the heart of this approach, but to achieve the goals of DevOps, and software development in general, it helps to extend the range beyond the technical and to think about how DevOps can improve software development more widely.
There are core ideas that describe DevOps best practices that are profoundly important to the success of a software development project. DevOps training and DevOps tutorials often focus on the relationship between “Developers” and “Operations”. This is inevitable since that is what the name “DevOps” says, but it is misleading. DevOps is a much bigger subject than that, and much more important to the success of a software project than only this relationship.
