DevOps is a powerful modern approach to unifying the business strategy, development, testing, deployment, and lifecycle operation of software. DevOps is enriched with platform engineering, which provides blueprinted and supported approaches to building and deploying software. Together, DevOps and platform engineering facilitate the improvement of business, IT, and development collaboration while taking full advantage of automation and AI technologies, end-to-end processes, application security, microservices architecture, and cloud infrastructure to accelerate development and delivery and enable innovation. The DevOps Practices and Platform Engineering subscription service provides insight, forecasts, and thought leadership to assist IT management, IT professionals, IT vendors, and service providers in creating compelling DevOps and platform engineering strategies and solutions.
