DevOps is a management methodology that combines 'Development' and 'Operations'. It involves implementing a much greater degree of cooperation and automation across the IT service lifecycle.

DevOps has development and operations teams collaborating, rather than working in siloes. It also automates essential tasks for the sake of boosting reliability and speed while also reducing costs. All of this will usually be overseen by a DevOps engineer.

A DevOps engineer is, essentially, a manager who helps to establish and oversee DevOps cultures. They will typically have experience in development, operations, or both.

While there is no set path to becoming a DevOps engineer, they will typically have several years of experience in utilizing the methodology.

Unlike other methodologies, there is no strict certification path for DevOps. Most students will start with DevOps Foundation, before moving on to DevOps Leader or DevSecOps Engineering. However, there are no prerequisites for higher-level courses

DevOps offers several benefits, including increased collaboration, improved ROIs, easier prioritization, and greater alignment between IT and business. More information on the benefits of DevOps can be found here.

The DevOps Foundation exam is an open-book, features 40 questions, and is 60 minutes long (with 15 extra minutes for students who do not have English as a native language). The pass mark is 65%.

The DevOps Leader exam is an open-book, features 40 questions, and is 90 minutes long (with 25 extra minutes for students who do not have English as a native language). The pass mark is 65%.

Security is an issue with huge importance in IT. Because organizations using DevOps enjoy greater speed, they must focus on updating their security practices in order to keep up and keep essential data protected.

ITIL 4 was specifically designed to work with other popular frameworks, including DevOps.

DevOps can be used alongside a number of other frameworks, including ITIL 4.
