4. What Is DevOps?
DevOps is a Software Development approach which involves Continuous
Development, Continuous Testing, Continuous Integration, Continuous
Deployment and Continuous Monitoring of the software throughout its
development lifecycle.
DevOps is an approach that promotes closer collaboration between lines of
business, development and IT operations. Development, testing, operations and
lines of business were often isolated in the past. DevOps brings them together to
improve agility.
DevOps is a culture and a mindset that should pervade
every member of the organization – beyond even
developers and operations.

10. Comparing DevOps VS Traditional SDLC

Traditional SDLC DevOps
A business unit made a request for an
app and then let the dev team do all the
work. The end user wouldn't see the
app until developers declared it
finished, and often, it was not to their
liking.
The business unit is involved all along
the development cycle. Their feedback
is constantly solicited and taken into
consideration as development goes
along.

13. Dark Launching Technique
11/29/2016 Copyright 13
Dark launching is a process where software is gradually or stealthily released to
consumers in order to get user feedback and test performance. Code is wrapped in a
feature flag or feature toggle which is used to control who gets to see the new feature
and when.
