Fundamentals of DevOps and Software Delivery » FAQ
What are the core principles of DevOps?
DevOps is the practical discipline of delivering software quickly and safely by combining development and operations responsibilities. In practice, that means automation, small batch changes, clear ownership, and feedback loops from production.
Practical guidance
- Optimize for both delivery speed and reliability, not one at the expense of the other.
- Use small, frequent, reversible changes to reduce operational risk.
- Automate build, test, deployment, and operational workflows early.
- Create fast feedback loops from production behavior into engineering decisions.
