DevOps is a collaborative approach that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to improve the speed and quality of software delivery. It emphasizes automation, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), and a culture of collaboration across teams. By breaking down silos, DevOps fosters agility, enabling organizations to respond quickly to market changes and enhance customer satisfaction. The ultimate goal of DevOps is to deliver high-quality software rapidly and efficiently, while also ensuring stability and reliability in production environments.
