A DevOps team consists of developers and IT operations professionals who collaborate throughout the entire product lifecycle to enhance the speed and quality of software deployment. This represents a new way of working, a cultural shift that has significant implications for the teams and organizations they work in.
Under the DevOps model, development and operations teams are no longer 'silos'. Sometimes, these two teams merge into one where engineers work across all phases of the application's lifecycle—from development and testing to deployment and operation—possessing a range of cross-functional skills.
DevOps teams utilize automation and process acceleration tools to increase reliability. The DevOps toolchain assists teams in tackling important DevOps principles, including continuous integration, continuous delivery, automation, and collaboration.
DevOps values are occasionally implemented on teams beyond development. When security teams adopt a DevOps approach, security becomes an active and integrated part of the development process. This is referred to as DevSecOps.
Currently, DevOps classes are held online.
The estimated total pay for an Entry Level Devops Engineer is $102,810 per year in the United States area, with an average salary of $90,216 per year.
