What is DevOps?
Options
- A culture of practices that joins dev and ops to ship faster and safer (Correct option)
- A job title for people who only fix printers and office networks
- A programming language that was created for automation scripts
- A type of database that is designed to store deployment logs
Answer
A culture and set of practices that bring development and operations together so software is built, tested, released and run faster and more reliably
Why
AWS describes DevOps as the combination of cultural philosophies, practices and tools that increases an organization's ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity.
Instead of developers 'throwing code over the wall' to an operations team, one team owns building and running it.
Common practices: CI/CD, automated tests, infrastructure as code, monitoring.
Remember
DevOps = build + run, automated and shared.
