Azure DevOps is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that provides several tools for better team collaboration. It also provides tools for automated build processes, version control, project management, testing, release management, package management, and much more. Azure DevOps was launched in October 2018 and has been a feature-rich platform since then.
What is DevOps?
The term DevOps originates from the fusion of two words, Development, and Operations. DevOps can have different meanings to different people and organizations.
According to Amazon Web Services (AWS): Amazon Web Services (AWS) DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes.
According to Microsoft: DevOps is the union of people, processes, and products to enable continuous delivery of value to our customers.
DevOps is a development methodology that is intended to decrease the time of development all while providing the continuous delivery of high-quality software. It is the combination of two words: Software Development (Dev) and IT Operations (Ops).
An exhaustive list of even important terms will take a lot of space. Let us see some of the most important and basic terms used in Azure DevOps projects. Agile: It is also another development methodology of software production. While Agile and DevOps sometimes are used interchangeably, they are not the same. Continuous Integration: It is the technique of continuously merging source code updates into one mainline in order to prevent conflicts. Automated Builds: They enable us to compile all the source files and package the resulting files and producers’ installers.
DevOps is the combination of practices, tools, and philosophies that enable rapid development and deployment of enterprise and consumer applications. DevOps began with cloud computing, which made it possible to allocate resources quickly and inexpensively. Cloud maximizes the innovations under DevOps by combining development, testing, and deployment tools in the cloud. Traditionally, it doesn't offer the flexibility that the cloud has to offer while delivering apps that need to be deployed faster and monitored through the development life cycle.
