"In the beginning, there was devops: a new philosophy that aimed to break down the silos of software development and IT operations and combine both teams into a single group with shared responsibility. Devops practices borrowed from agile development methodologies, insisted on continuous integration and continuous delivery, and helped make the era of cloud development possible. Devops became so popular that it began to spawn other kinds of ops."
"As Cameron Rimington, founder and CEO of IronPDF, puts it: "The ratio of 'ops' methodologies is just plain silly at this point - every couple of months a new one comes out that must be creating something of a race for new forms of appearing to be fresh." So what's really behind all these labels? Does each mark a new practice, or are they just different names for the same basic principles?"
DevOps unifies software development and IT operations into shared responsibility, emphasizing automation, continuous integration, and continuous delivery. DevOps practices enabled cloud-native development and inspired specialized variants such as DevSecOps, GitOps, CloudOps, and AIOps. Those variants adapt core DevOps principles to focus on security, repository-driven operations, cloud management, or AI-driven observability. Substantial overlap exists among these approaches because they share goals of automation, collaboration, and scalability. Practical adoption benefits from grouping related practices, focusing on tooling and cultural changes that improve delivery, security, and operational reliability, and avoiding chasing labels that add jargon without clear value.
