DevOps is a set of practices and cultural philosophies aimed at improving collaboration between software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) teams. It focuses on automating and streamlining the processes of software development, testing, deployment, and infrastructure management. The goal of DevOps is to shorten the development lifecycle, increase the frequency of software releases, and improve the quality of software by fostering a culture of continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), and rapid feedback.
