In this video, CBT Nuggets trainer Shawn Powers explains DevOps. Sometimes the conversation of DevOps can immediately jump to processes and tools, but Shawn focuses on the concepts and benefits of DevOps. Learn just what DevOps is and whether you should consider it.

Whether in job interviews, conferences, board meetings or planning meetings, DevOps is coming up more and more.

The best way to understand DevOps is to start at its core principle: trust. DevOps is meant to merge two different disciplines together, and to do that effectively there must be good communication and trust.

On one side, developers. The code they’re responsible for creating must be compiled, uploaded, sent to clients, etc. In the world of DevOps, the developer can do things that they traditionally wouldn’t have because normally there’s an arbitrary wall that separates developers from operations.

In DevOps, developers can create servers with code rather than ask systems administrators to spin one up. In DevOps, developers can deploy their apps completely on their own, they don’t have to depend on anyone else. Plus, they can update smoothly because they’re not waiting for someone else.

That’s not to say that sysadmins are lazy, it’s simply that they have many other tasks on their plates.

See how DevOps makes everyone's jobs better by increasing responsibilities, trust and communication.
