DevOps is a set of practices that combine software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to enhance the collaboration, automation,
and integration between developers and operations teams.
The goal is to streamline the software delivery process, improve quality, and ensure faster and more reliable releases through automation,
continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), and infrastructure as code.
Learning DevOps is essential because it is increasingly in demand across industries for improving productivity, reducing time to market,
and achieving better collaboration in development and operations.
The future of DevOps is very promising for newcomers, as the demand for skilled DevOps engineers continues to grow in response to the increasing need
for automation and scalable, efficient systems in both small startups and large enterprises.
