The term DevOps refers to a combination of skills, processes, and product capabilities that enable organizations to achieve the continuous delivery of solutions and services when interacting with end users. DevOps is all about taking the best of software development and IT operations and enabling enterprises to rapidly respond to customer requirements and feedback. Within the DevOps model, development and operations teams are no longer siloed and instead work as a single team to cater to the needs of end users and the business.
