DevOps & Automation · Foundational

DevOps

A culture and set of practices that unify software development and IT operations to deliver changes quickly, safely, and reliably.

Definition

DevOps breaks down silos between development and operations teams through shared ownership, automation, continuous feedback, and measurement. It combines cultural change with practices such as CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and monitoring to shorten the delivery lifecycle without sacrificing stability.

Example

A team that once released quarterly adopts automated pipelines and shared on-call duties and now deploys several times a day.

Exam tip

Exams frame DevOps as a culture first and a toolset second; answers that only buy a tool without changing collaboration are usually wrong.
