DevOps (short for DEVelopment OPerations) refers to a collection of processes that integrate software development and IT operations. It seeks to reduce the systems development life cycle and enable continuous delivery of high-quality software. DevOps works in tandem with Agile software development; numerous DevOps features stem from the Agile approach.
DevOps extends agile principles from creation and testing to operation and support, unlike other related ideas.
DevOps supports microservices architecture. In reality, this implies designing a fragmented, poorly linked modular system. This allows continual refactoring and release without stopping IT product activity.
