Book DescriptionDevOps is a practical field that focuses on delivering business value as efficiently as possible.

It stresses cooperation between different roles, and how they can work together more closely, as the roots of the word imply-Development and Operations.

Practical DevOps begins with a quick refresher on DevOps and continuous delivery and quickly moves on to show you how DevOps affects software architectures. You'll create a sample enterprise Java application that you''ll continue to work with through the remaining chapters. Following this, you will explore various code storage and build server options.
