Specifically, I ran into this approach more than 10 years ago in a different company where I worked as a System Administrator. Back then, this term did not exist yet, but people, including myself, already applied not yet formalized rules and principles that became known as DevOps: In fact, all this was a logical extension of the practices listed in the Agile manifesto and started from the moment when the developer stopped writing code for the localhost.

The main purpose of DevOps’ existence is to fill the hole in the cycle of continuous integration, delivery, and operation of the product.

It is important to be aware of the business’ tolerance to downtime and loss of data for a certain period, etc.

In addition to this, DevOps should work with the Security Department to automate processes and quickly apply new security policies for services.
