Abstract

Aligned development-operations teams increase contemporary software delivery and performance. We study DevOps project management, which integrates development and operations to improve software engineering. CI/CD, IaC, and automated testing link development and operations. 

CI and CD automate code creation, testing, and deployment in DevOps. Daily human-free CI/CD processes push code changes to production. This iterative technique reduces integration and deployment mistakes and accelerates deployments. Infrastructure-as-Code DevOps project management. IaC provided machine-readable computer infrastructure specification files instead of hardware or interactive tools. Improved infrastructure management scalability, consistency, and efficiency speed up development and operations infrastructure resource supply and setup.
