What is DevOps?
An approach to accelerating software application release and increasing release frequency — by requiring collaboration and integration between software developers and IT operations*
STRATEGIC IT TRANSFORMATION
Why adopt DevOps? Benefits for ... Development
QA/Testing
Compress cycle times and focus on coding and creativity
Operations
Catch more defects before releasing software into production, remediate quickly
Users
Keep pace with everfaster change (Agile development) while increasing reliability
Gain greater customer satisfaction from higher quality end products
