What is DevOps? Our DevOps definition

🇬🇧 🇧🇷

Even though the DevOps movement has been discussed for nearly a decade, DevOps still lacks a widely accepted definition. By consolidating the most cited definitions of DevOps in the academic literature, we crafted our definition:

---

“DevOps is a collaborative and multidisciplinary effort within an organization to automate continuous delivery of new software versions, while guaranteeing their correctness and reliability.”

---

This definition was accepted by the ACM Computing Surveys journal, a very reputable academic journal in our field, within our Survey of DevOps Concepts and Challenges.
