It is the process of managing the various stages of the software development lifecycle within a DevOps framework. It involves integrating the development and operations teams, as well as automating the processes and tools used in software development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. The stages involved in the DevOps lifecycle are:
Plan: The features and requirements of the software to be developed are planned out along with the infrastructure and resources required.
Code: The development team writes, reviews, and tests the code for the software.
Build: The code is compiled and built into executable software using automated tools.
Test: The software is tested to ensure that it meets the specified requirements and functions correctly.
Release: The software is released to production, which involves deploying it to the target environment.
Deploy: The software is deployed to the production environment.
Monitor: The operations team continues to monitor the software to ensure that it is performing as expected.
