The <b>Development Operations</b> (aka DevOps) AF bridges the gap between development and IT operations. DevOps combines development and operations to create a streamlined, automated, and secure software development and delivery process, emphasizing efficiency, quality, and teamwork. Its core responsibilities include:<br/>1. Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD): Streamlining the code delivery process.<br/>2. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Managing infrastructure through code for scalability and consistency.<br/>3. Automation: Automating repetitive tasks to enhance efficiency.<br/>4. Monitoring and Logging: Ensuring system health and detecting issues promptly.<br/>5. Security: Integrating security into the development lifecycle.<br/>6. Collaboration: Fostering communication and cooperation between teams.<br/>7. Version Control: Managing and tracking changes in code and configurations.<br/>8. Containerization: Utilizing containers for deployment consistency.<br/>9. Scaling: Ensuring applications can handle growing workloads.<br/>
