What Is DevOps & Infrastructure?
DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to shorten the development lifecycle while delivering features, fixes, and updates frequently and reliably. Infrastructure management involves designing, deploying, and maintaining the servers, networks, and services that applications run on.
Modern DevOps relies heavily on containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible), and CI/CD pipelines. Our collection covers these essential tools with practical, hands-on guides designed for real-world application.
