A cultural and professional movement, focused on how we build and operate software. DevOps is a term for a group of concepts that, while not all new, have catalyzed into a movement and are rapidly spreading throughout the technical community. Like any new and popular term, people have somewhat confused and sometimes contradictory impressions of what it is. While a lot of discussions is about the specific tooling or technical implementations when discussing DevOps, the core meaning is that about the people and culture surrounding it.
DevOps integrates developers and operations teams in order to improve collaboration and productivity by automating infrastructure, automating workflows and continuously measuring application performance.
