What is DevOps？Is Development or Operation and Maintenance?

Since the birth of DevOps in 2009, a full ten years have passed so far. From the initial exploration, it has gradually become a mainstream software development and delivery model. The word DevOps comes from the combination of Development and Operations. It can be said that the application of DevOps has filled the information gap between the development side and the operation and maintenance side, and improved the collaborative relationship between the teams.
