What is DevOps

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops), aiming to shorten the development lifecycle while delivering high-quality software. It emphasizes collaboration, automation, and monitoring at all stages of software development, from integration and testing to deployment and infrastructure management.

The primary goals of DevOps are to improve deployment frequency, achieve a faster time to market, and ensure lower failure rates of new releases. By adopting DevOps, organizations can enhance communication and collaboration between teams, automate processes, and deliver value to customers more efficiently.

Key principles of DevOps include continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment, which aim to create a seamless pipeline for software delivery.

Here is an example of a simple DevOps pipeline configuration using YAML:

pipeline: agent any stages: stage('Build'): steps: sh 'echo Building...' stage('Test'): steps: sh 'echo Testing...' stage('Deploy'): steps: sh 'echo Deploying...'
