What is DevOps?

DevOps is a response to the interdependence of software development and IT operations driven by factors a more collaborative and productive relationship between development teams and operations teams role of a DevOps professional has similarities to that of a Chief Engineer within the Toyota Production ystem This re!uires technical "nowledge in order to convince managers of the needs This re!uires technical "nowledge in order to convince managers of the needs Development#centric fol"s tend to come from a mindset where change is the thing that they are paid to accomplish Development#centric fol"s tend to come from a mindset where change is the thing that they are paid to accomplish there is a $Wall of Confusion Development "ic"s things off by $tossing% a software release $over the wall% to Operations& Operations pic"s up the release artifacts and begins preparing for their deployment& Operations claims that Development gave them faulty artifacts& Developers respond by pointing out that it wor"ed 'ust fine in their environments( so it must be the case that Operations did something wrong& What)s the benefit of DevOps?
