DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes.

Before you can determine if you can use DevOps it is important to define what it is and what it is not.DevOps is not a product or technology but rather a methodology that acts as the glue or unites software development, production and operations into an integrated continuous process.The DevOps methodology is about dissolving the barriers between Development and Operations. It leverages people processes and technology for collaboration across the entire software development and releases process.

The Problem : Development is about faster innovation and doing things faster, Operations is about stability, control, and predictability. Often not reporting to the same place in the organization. The problem is never meeting or collaborating in the middle. The lack of communication between the two create three problems.
