DevOps
 DevOps is a software development approach
emphasizing collaboration, automation, and
continuous delivery to provide high-quality products
to customers quickly and efficiently.
What is DevOps?

▪ DevOps breaks down silos between development and operations teams to enable
seamless communication, faster time-to-market, and improved customer
satisfaction. It allows a team to handle the complete application lifecycle, from
development to testing, operations, and deployment. It shows cooperation between
Development and Operations groups to deploy code to production quickly in an
automated and repeatable manner.

▪ Every phase of the software development lifecycle, including planning, coding,

testing, deployment, and monitoring, is heavily automated in DevOps. This improves
productivity, ensures consistency, and lowers error rates in the development
process. A culture of continuous improvement is also promoted by DevOps, where
feedback loops are incorporated into the procedure to facilitate quicker iteration
and better decision-making. Organizations can increase their agility, lower costs,
and speed up innovation by adopting DevOps.
 Definition/ What is Devops?

DevOps is basically a combination of two words- Development and

Operations. DevOps is a culture that implements the technology in
order to promote collaboration between the developer team and the
operations team to deploy code to production faster in an automated
and repeatable way.
Why DevOps?
Think

▪ The goal of DevOps is to increase an

organization’s speed when it comes to
delivering applications and services.

▪ Many companies have successfully

implemented DevOps to enhance their
user experience including Amazon,
Netflix, etc.
Think ▪ Facebook’s mobile app which is
updated every two weeks effectively
tells users you can have what you want
and you can have it. Now ever
wondered how Facebook was able to
do social smoothing? It’s the DevOps
philosophy that helps Facebook ensure
that apps aren’t outdated and that
users get the best experience on
Facebook. Facebook accomplishes this
true code ownership model that makes
its developers responsible that
includes testing and supporting
through production and delivery for
each kernel of code.
 Why DevOps?....

Industries have started to gear up for digital transformation by

shifting their means to weeks and months instead of years
while maintaining high quality as a result. The solution to all
this is- DevOps.
How DevOps is different
from Traditional IT?
Traditional IT has 1000s lines of code and is created by
different teams with different standards whereas
DevOps is created by one team with intimate knowledge
of the product. Traditional IT is complex to understand
and DevOps is easily understandable.
