What is DevOps?

DevOps combines development and operations practices so teams can release software faster and more reliably — using automation, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and shared ownership of production.

Exam tip: keep SI units consistent end-to-end, write the governing relation symbolically before substituting, and sanity-check magnitude and sign.

Understand the concept

DevOps engineers build pipelines that compile, test, and deploy code; manage infrastructure as code; and set up alerts. Goals include shorter lead time, fewer failed releases, and faster recovery.
