DevOps at a glance
DevOps history
The term DevOps was originally introduced by three software engineers, Len Bass, Ingo Weber and Liming Zhu, from CSIRO, a public Australian research project.
The purpose of this new term, DevOps, was to shorten the time from when a fix to a system was created until it could be released. In short, DevOps was originally a method for releasing software fixes faster.
DevOps today
Today, DevOps has taken on a somewhat broader meaning. The method is used both to streamline communication between development and operations and to introduce an agile mindset in development projects.
DevOps combines 'Development' and 'Operations' and refers to the collaboration between the two disciplines. Both words are shortened, which makes sense when you consider that the purpose of DevOps is to shorten the time from production to release, right?
Sprints in development projects
When you use the DevOps approach for larger development projects, you break the project into many smaller, more manageable pieces that, ideally, are each fully functional on their own.
This is the agile part of the process, where all the 'sprints', as these divisions are called, make up the full project. Each sprint is developed separately and released relatively quickly. A typical sprint lasts one to two weeks.
