Its a culture, concept, process and approach that merges software requirement gathering, software development, testing, quality assurance, system configurations, product deployment and operations. Organizations building or improving software products are moving towards a DevOps approach where development, testing, security, quality assurance and operations are getting merged within a large team and those technical resources work side by side to achieve higher return on investment
DevOps is one of the most broad topics within software dev because it lacks boundaries and limitations. Many technologies, tools, concepts, processes and ideas converge to give a good DevOps pipeline and DevOps process resulting in agile planning, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and high level monitoring of your enterprise level software systems. Hence, devops is not a single role or even a team’s work that deals with all the technologies and processes. It a mixture of culture, traditions and process.
