What is DevOps?

DevOps was created by combining the words development (Dev) and operations (Ops) and represents a combination of people, processes and technologies, the goal of which is to ensure the continuous delivery of quality products and services to customers. DevOps is a combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that enhance an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high speeds that enable it to better serve its customers and compete more effectively in the marketplace.

How does DevOps work?

Within the DevOps model, development and operations teams are no longer isolated. Sometimes the two teams are merged into a single team where engineers work throughout the entire application lifecycle, from development and testing to deployment to operations, developing a range of skills not limited to a single function.

How to educate yourself in DevOps?

If you decide to educate yourself in DevOps, you can use our authorized courses, which you can find below. For example, you’ll find training from the DevOps Agile Skills Association (DASA), an open global community for developing DevOps and Agile skills. Founded in April 2016, DASA has become a rapidly growing global DevOps movement providing global DevOps competency development courses, training and certifications.

In addition to classic courses and certifications, we can also recommend a popular DevOps/Ways Of Working simulation by Sunburst Simulations that accelerates DevOps adoption and demonstrates the business value and positive impact of this approach. In addition to understanding the DevOps approach itself and responsibilities in teams, participants will try out mutual cooperation and can be inspired on how to improve the functioning of the company.
