التعريف
DevOps is both a culture and a set of practices. It emphasizes collaboration between development and operations teams, automation of repetitive tasks, continuous delivery, infrastructure as code, and monitoring. Key DevOps practices include: CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and observability (logging, metrics, tracing).
لماذا هو مهم
Organizations adopting DevOps see significant improvements: 200x more frequent deployments, 24x faster recovery from failures, and 3x lower change failure rate according to the State of DevOps report. DevOps enables teams to ship faster while maintaining reliability.
مثال
A DevOps team uses Terraform to provision infrastructure, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, Docker for containerization, Kubernetes for orchestration, and Datadog for monitoring — all automated and version-controlled.
