DevOps, an Agile extension focusing on smaller value unit delivery at greater speed, provides a shared process and toolset to plan, manage, and monitor software delivery. It replaces large, infrequent releases with a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline of customer value extending to embedded product software. The embedded DevOps model delivers software updates at discrete intervals, while other software enables more frequent over-the-air (OTA) updates.
DevOps breaks down silos that separate development, operations, and test teams so they may be merged, or simply operate under a set of shared goals.
