Overview
DevOps is best known in the field of software services, but its principles are applicable in all contexts where fast delivery of reliable products and services is relevant. DevOps contributes to the success of the overall organization by facilitating the synergy of Agile development, service management and Lean improvement while assuring security and maintaining control in a continuous delivery pipeline.
