In practice, DevOps combines a set of tools and practices (automation, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, etc...) with a culture of shared responsibility and feedback. The goal is to “accelerate the delivery of high-performance applications and services by combining and automating the work of software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops)”. Instead of developers “thowing code over the wall” to ops, a DevOps team works as one cross-functional unit with shared goals: to continuously integrate and deliver value with high reliability. The hallmarks of DevOps include <strong>Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)</strong>, <strong>automation</strong> of repetitive tasks, and <strong>continuous monitoring</strong> for feedback. By integrating testing, security, and deployment into the development pipeline, organizations can release smaller updates more frequently, catch problems earlier, and respond to user needs faster.</p>
