DevOps is a methodology that combines software development (Dev) and information-technology operations (Ops) to shorten the systems development life cycle while focusing on quality and continuous delivery.

Gartner’s 2019 priority matrix for DevOps predicts that the DevOps toolchain and continuous delivery will have mainstream adoption over the next two to five years, and this adoption would have transformational benefits to organizations. Agile and DevOps are going to play a central role in organizations undergoing digital transformation.
