Intro to the DevOps Landscape

Why DevOps?

“81% of Enterprise-Level
Business Use DevOps”

Many companies encounter workflow problems across departments. This is especially apparent in interactions between the Development Team and IT Operations.

DevOps is a way of doing business that seeks to seamlessly cross silo barriers and utilize popular practices like Agile, Scrum, automated processes, and others.

DevOps gives you the framework and concrete methodology to help your organization develop code in a high-speed, organized, safe, and smoothly efficient way.
