DevOps to me is about effective collaboration, clean code, smoother operations. After all, in an agile environment, development works with “in the house customer”, business, closely. Similarly, DevOps is about operations and support working closely with development.

Key ingredients for a successful DevOps org:

1. Automated testing & deployment.
2. Automated configuration management.
3. Integrated change management and planning.
4. Automated monitoring.
