It is a set of philosophies, practices, and tools that help organizations deliver applications and services. DevOps teams automate processes that are often manual and slow. ## Benefits of DevOps - **Speed**: adapt to changing markets better/faster and grow more efficient - [[Microservices]] and [[Continuous Delivery]] allow teams to release updates quickly - **Reliability**: [[Continuous Integration]], [[Continuous Delivery]], monitoring, and logging help ensure the quality of application updates - **Scale**: Automation makes scaling infrastructure much easier by using [[Infrastructure As Code]] - **Improved Collaboration**: Developers and operations collaborate closely ## Cultural Philosophy DevOps is a mindset. It's about removing the barriers between development and operations, optimizing the productivity of developers, and improving the quality of operations. It also fosters a culture of collaboration and shared responsibility. ## Common Practices - [[Continuous Integration]]: a software development practice where developers regularly merge code changes into a central repository, after which automated builds and tests are run. - [[Continuous Delivery]]: a software development practice where code changes are automatically built, tested, and prepared for release. - [[Microservices]]: a software architecture where an application is built as a set of small services. - [[Infrastructure As Code]]: a practice in which infrastructure is provisioned and managed using code. - [[Monitoring]] and [[Logging]]: analyzing performance impacts to see how changes affect users. - Communication and Collaboration: allows all parts of an organization to align more closely on goals and projects. ## References Amazon Web Services, Inc. “What Is DevOps? - DevOps Models Explained - Amazon Web Services (AWS).” Accessed August 12, 2024.
