The word is DevOps spelled Dev as in development or programming, and ops as in IT operations. Definition the set of people, process, technology and cultural norms that integrates software development and IT operations into a system of systems. Example sentence we refer to DevOps as the outcome of applying Lean principles to the IT value stream. Origin and context According to Gene Kim, Kevin Baer and George Spafford in their book the Phoenix Project, A novel about it DevOps and helping your business win, Patrick Debois and Andrew Schaefer coined the phrase DevOps in 2008. The next year, it entered into common usage when John Allspaugh and Paul Hammond gave a presentation at the 2009 Velocity conference called 10 Deploys per Dev and Ops Cooperation at Flickr. But according to John Willis at IT Revolution Press, DevOps was the result of a convergence of three big ideas the agile software development method that started in 2001, the 2009 Alspawn Hammond presentation, and the 2011 Eric Ries book the Lean how today's entrepreneurs use continuous innovation to create radically successful businesses. But really, it got its start back in 1994 when Amazon began work on an e commerce service called Merchant.com to help third party retailers build online shopping sites on top of Amazon's e commerce engine. By 2003, Amazon had installed a set of internal common infrastructure services that all of their developers could access without reinventing the wheel every time. Amazon business leaders soon realized that they were sitting on a gold mine that they could become the operating system of the Internet from these services. This eventually led to AWS in 2006. In 2004, when Google was nothing more than a search engine, the Google leadership team gave the responsibility of network management not to the traditional IT team, but to the development team. That decision began the site reliability, Engineering, Movement, or sre, where the main point was to reduce the amount of toil done by administrators. Google defines toil as mundane, repetitive operational work providing no enduring value. This parallel work to Amazon was some of the first efforts toward infrastructure as code put into practice. DevOps is the philosophy that once the developers, the quality assurance teams, and the security analysts pass any new code or maintenance updates to IT ops for deployment, their jobs aren't done. Instead of creating artificial black boxes within each team, where updates come in, get worked on, and then are passed to the next black box, DevOps is the recognition that update creation, deployment and maintenance is one big system of systems and needs to be managed that way. In other words, DevOps uses the agile software development philosophy across the entire life cycle of deployed systems, from design to development to testing to deployment to maintenance, and finally to end of life. Nerd reference this is Allspaw and Hammond presenting at the 2009 Velocity conference.

This is the Build and Stage button. The button at the very bottom of the screen, the one that says perform staging. You click that button, it performs an SVN checkout, it does all of the translations, it compiles all the templates. Anywhere where we have compilation that we do for optimization, it does all of that and then it copies that code onto a staging service that we can test it automatically. Automatically, which means that you don't have.

Or the same order over and over again. Once you've got that one step build, the next thing you need is a one step deploy. @ the bottom we have a button. It says I'm feeling lucky. And you push that and it pushes the code out to the side. The same principles apply here. By making it one button, it means that there's very, very little room for error. It means that you're doing your builds and you're doing your deploys in a consistent environment. It means that there's no manual steps that might go wrong. You see this as a trend.
