DevOps - What you need to Know about Continuous Delivery

DevOps
I​n the past, solution delivery was oriented around the waterfall model. Development and delivery of applications was typically divided into many separate steps, such as gathering requirements, writing code, packaging, performing tests, installing the software, etc. Each step was typically owned by one team, which was responsible for only that part of the process, ignoring others.

In other words, developers were focusing only on code development, a process that could last months or even years, leaving solution delivery to the operations teams. New solutions and changes were implemented as one-off revolutions, which required heavy planning and change management processes. This approach had many drawbacks. It didn’t scale well, nor was it immune to quickly changing requirements. It didn’t promote cooperation in solution delivery but promoted competition and blaming others. Any mistake made at the beginning of analysis was stuck with a project until its conclusion, and in most cases entire solutions were
becoming obsolete even before they started yielding any benefits.

The DevOps methodology addresses organizational issues related to the software production process. Since it comes directly from the agile movement, it promotes incremental, iterative solution delivery. DevOps is not about a dedicated team nor is it governed by a well-defned set of rules or tools. 
It is a mindset that changes the way of thinking about software delivery and encourages cooperation throughout the whole production process.
