DevOps is an approach to lean and agile software delivery that promotes closer collaboration between lines of business, development and IT operations. Historically, development and operations, and even testing, have been siloed operations. DevOps brings them together to improve and reduce the time needed to address customer feedback. With continuous delivery, continuous deployment and continuous monitoring of applications, enterprises can:

Respond to the market faster and build engaging user experiences
Continuously deploy software into development, test and production environments
Scale DevOps successfully without disrupting the business
Drive environment consistency from testing to production and across public and private cloud
Build a startup culture that brings business, development and operations together
Facilitate improved application quality and stability through frequent releases
Help reduce costs through improved efficiency and reduced outages
