Definition
„ DevOps (a clipped compound of development and operations) is
a culture, movement or practice that emphasizes the collaboration
and communication of both software developers and other information-
technology (IT) professionals while automating the process of software
delivery and infrastructure changes. It aims at establishing a culture
and environment where building, testing, and releasing software can
happen rapidly, frequently, and more reliably.
