Well, it's not a buzz word as we have been hearing the term for over years now. But initially when it was adopted it was a buzz word. What is your understanding on DevOps? For me it is the change in the mindset of how people think of software industry and it's culture.

As the word says it's a combination of Development and Operations. Let us try to understand what is Development and Operations in simple terms.

Development: Developing the code to meet the customer/stakeholder's requirement

Operations: Deploying the code onto the server where we allow users to access the application.

I can go on and write about development and operations processes, but let us keep it short.

Main goal of adopting DevOps practices is to deliver applications and services faster than traditional software development processes.
