DevOps helps organization to decrease go to market cycle time by enhancing everything from commencement to delivery. It helps companies to save their time for the delivery pipeline. It helps to increase the efficiency of companies which ultimately ensures the better quality to their customers. DevOps is a combination of two words – ‘Dev’ which stands for ‘Development’ and ‘Operations’. DevOps helps to improve coordination and communication between the various stakeholders such as Operations, Development and QA team. It helps companies to deploy their products fast with better quality. It ensures less bugs.
