The term DevOps is understood in multiple ways. Because I was asked what it is from my point of view, I drew this image. And for those who like written text, below are a few comments.

↑ My view of the DevOps landscape — click to enlarge.

• DevOps is a culture tying together Business, Operations, Development and Quality Assurance. It isn’t a single person you can hire.

• DevOps is closely related to the agile way of working. It’s the technological foundation that allows to deliver product increments quicker and more reliably.

• When everything works well, you get
  • quicker time to market,
  • less room for errors when deploying (because you practice it constantly),
  • cheaper experiments and
  • cheaper errors.
• You pay by having to align the objectives of all the people involved in making of the product.
  • This is no easy task!
  • If any of the parties can’t induce changes in how the others work, you’ll have no DevOps.
