What is DevOps

DevOps is a set of practices that combine software development (Dev) and information technology operations (Ops).

In practice it is a question of automating process between the development team and the operation team. Like testing process or continuous integration.

The main goal is to gain time.

“The most powerful tool we have as developers is automation.”

Scott Hanselman

Moreover, DevOps is a movement, a philosophy. It combines agile methods, continuous delivery, automation, … to help development and operation teams to be more efficient.

Some software is very useful to doing DevOps. Jenkins for example.
