DevOps
Reduce time to market. Shorten development life cycles and provide continuous delivery of high-quality software to your end-users.
What is DevOps?
DevOps is about meeting software end users’ ever-increasing demand for frequent, innovative new features, uninterrupted performance and high availability. It is a combination of automating the work of software development and operations teams.
The ultimate DevOps processes and cultures extend beyond development and operations to incorporate inputs from all application stakeholders, including platform and infrastructure engineering, security, compliance, governance, risk management, line-of-business, end-users and customers, all into the software development lifecycle.
DevOps represents the current state of the evolution of software delivery cycles during the past 20+ years. From giant application-wide code releases every several months or even years, to iterative smaller feature or functional updates released as frequently as every day or several times per day.
