DevOps

A set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.

Continuous Integration

The practice of frequently merging code changes into a shared repository, allowing developers to detect and resolve integration issues early in the development process.

Continuous Delivery

The ability to release software updates to production quickly and sustainably, ensuring that the software can be deployed at any time with minimal manual effort.

Continuous Deployment

The practice of automatically deploying every code change that passes the automated tests into production, making the release process fully automated.

Infrastructure as Code

The practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure resources through machine-readable definition files, enabling infrastructure to be treated as code and versioned.

Configuration Management

The practice of automating the configuration and management of software and infrastructure, ensuring consistency and reducing manual effort.

Containerization

The practice of encapsulating an application and its dependencies into a lightweight, portable container, enabling consistent deployment across different environments.

Orchestration

The practice of automating the coordination and management of multiple containers or services, ensuring they work together efficiently and reliably.

Monitoring and Logging

The practice of collecting and analyzing data from systems, applications, and infrastructure to ensure performance, availability, and detect issues.

Version Control

The practice of tracking and managing changes to source code, enabling collaboration, versioning, and rollback to previous versions.

Agile Development

An iterative and incremental approach to software development, emphasizing flexibility, collaboration, and customer satisfaction.

Collaboration and Communication

The practice of fostering effective collaboration and communication between development, operations, and other stakeholders, enabling shared understanding and alignment.
