The term DevOps is a combination of two words “Development” e “Operations”.
Within the world of Information Technology, development teams recognize more and more the need to have applications evolve in the shortest amount of time. This is a requirement that may be against the reliability and stability of the operations and production systems. Lee Thomson, who is one of the gurus of DevOps, has defined this conflict “wall of Confusion”.
DevOps represents a change in IT culture, and it focuses on the rapid deployment of services through the adoption of stream-lining practices, with a system oriented approach and without neglecting the quality aspect. DevOps implementations utilize a technology to overcome barriers and guarantee a new method of collaboration between two different entities.
Since its inception RES has been offering solutions within its RES Suite designed for Systems and IT governance which address perfectly the purpose of DevOps.
