DevOps (a clipped compound of “development” and “operations”) is a software development methodology that combines software development (Dev) with information technology operations (Ops). The goal of DevOps is to shorten the systems development life cycle while also delivering features, fixes, and updates frequently in close alignment with business objectives.
As DevOps is intended to be a cross-functional mode of working, rather than a single DevOps tool, there are sets (or “toolchains”) of multiple tools. Such DevOps tools are expected to fit into one or more of these categories, reflective of key aspects of the development and delivery process:
Code
Code development and review, source code management tools, code merging
Build
Continuous integration tools, build status
Test
Continuous testing tools that provide feedback on business risks
Package
Artifact repository, application pre-deployment staging
Release
Change management, release approvals, release automation
Configure
Infrastructure configuration and management, infrastructure as code tools
Monitor
Applications performance monitoring, end-user experience
Note that there exist different interpretations of the DevOps toolchain (e.g. Plan, Create, Verify, Package, Release, Configure, and Monitor).
