DevOps (Development Operations) is a series of practices and processes that help organisations speed up and automate aspects of developing, testing, releasing and updating software. These practices help organizations manage the development, tools deployment, integrated testing, and assistance with increased productivity and speed. At the same time, they bring the critical elements of continuous integration and continuous deployment to the DevOps engineers sole responsibility. DevOps engineers are responsible for facilitating this by combining technical expertise with project management and communication skills.
