DevOps 90 days challenge, Day-01

What is DevOps?

DevOps is a combination of software development (dev) and operations (ops). It is defined as a software engineering methodology that aims to integrate the work of development teams and operations teams by facilitating a culture of collaboration and shared responsibility.

The goal of DevOps is to improve the efficiency, speed, and reliability of the software development and deployment process.

The primary objective of DevOps practices is to enhance collaboration among different groups of people to work together more smoothly to create and deliver software.

What are Automation, Scaling and Infrastructure?

1. Automation- Automation in DevOps is a practice of using technology and tools to automate various tasks, processes, and workflows involved in software development, testing, deployment, and operations.

2. Scaling- scaling in DevOps refers to the ability of a software application or system to handle increased workloads or demands by efficiently allocating and utilizing resources. It involves the ability to adapt to varying workloads by efficiently utilizing resources through automation, monitoring, and architectural considerations. It ensures that applications can handle increased demands while maintaining performance, availability, and reliability.

3. Infrastructure- Infrastructure in DevOps refers to the underlying physical or virtual components and resources required to support the development, deployment, and operation of software applications. It is like the behind-the-scenes setup that lets software run smoothly and handle whatever tasks it's meant to do.

Why DevOps is important?

DevOps is important because it revolutionizes how software is developed, deployed, and operated. It brings together people, processes, and tools to create a collaborative, efficient, and responsive environment that leads to faster, more reliable, and customer-centric software delivery.

the key reasons are:-

1. Faster Software Delivery

2. Improved Collaboration

3. Scalability and Flexibility

4. Increased Efficiency

5. Security
