DevOps
DevOps is a set of software development practices that combine software development (Dev) and information-technology operations (Ops) to shorten the systems-development life cycle while delivering features, fixes, and updates frequently in close alignment with business objectives.
Includes the cultural and professional movement that stresses communication, collaboration, integration and automation in order to improve the flow of work between software developers and IT operations professionals.

DevOps Adoption
The 2015 State of DevOps Report discovered that the top seven measures with the strongest correlation to organizational culture are:
- Organizational investment in DevOps
- Team leaders' experience and effectiveness
- Continuous delivery.
- The ability of different disciplines (development, operations, and infosec) to achieve win-win outcomes
- Organizational performance
- Deployment pain
- Lean management practices.
Adoption of DevOps success factors include:
- Use of agile and other development processes and methods
- Demand for an increased rate of production releases – from application and business unit stakeholders
- Wide availability of virtualized and cloud infrastructure – from internal and external providers
- Increased usage of data center automation and configuration management tools;
- Increased focus on test automation and continuous integration methods
- A critical mass of publicly available best practices.
