DevOps is a concept that aims to address the challenges associated with the traditional application lifecycle.

“DevOps is the union of people, process, and products to enable continuous delivery of value to our end users.”
— Donovan Brown

Imagine you work for a software development company in the retail sector.
Your company plans to migrate from an old application to a new one.
However, the development team and the operations team have conflicting goals:

• The development team wants to quickly release new features to attract more customers.
• The operations team wants to ensure the stability and reliability of the application.

This conflict leads to delays in launching new features and frequent application outages.
Your company realizes it needs to adopt DevOps practices to overcome these challenges and deliver quality software efficiently and reliably.

In this module, you will discover the key elements of DevOps culture and how they promote collaboration, transparency, shared responsibility, and continuous learning.

The module covers topics such as collaboration, transparency, alignment, shared responsibility, accountability, empowerment, continuous learning, measurable outcomes, customer focus, agility, automation, and security integration.

You will also explore the value that DevOps brings to organizations, including faster time to market, adaptability to market dynamics, increased stability and reliability in operations, and a reduction in mean time to recovery (MTTR).

Finally, you will understand how DevOps practices optimize application lifecycle management, impacting every phase from planning to operations.

By the end of this module, you will have a clear understanding of DevOps principles, practices, and values, and how they can be applied to optimize software delivery and improve collaboration between development and operations teams.
