-DevOps is the portmanteau of development and operations. In recent times, the agile transformation was adopted in IT organizations for continuous integration principles in software development life cycle (SDLC) which has improved the efficiency of development in the project. With time being it has been realized that the optimization does not help in only continuous integration to make the software delivery process efficient. Unless all the modules in software delivery lifecycle are well designed, implemented and optimized. This is the problem with previous technologies and DevOps addresses it. This paper explains the various phases of SDLC, business needs and ways to move from continuous integration to continuous delivery.
