There are few trends in enterprise IT receiving more attention in 2016 than DevOps. A combo of the words “development” and “operations,” DevOps is a term that can mean a lot of different things depending on the context. Sometimes it refers to specific software or hardware tools, e.g., a DevOps automation platform for spinning up test labs or sandboxes – but more often it is used to describe a broad new approach to culture within an organization.
