The DevOps movement came onto the scene somewhere around 2007/2008. Its proponents railed against the traditional software model at the time, which called for the developers who wrote the code to be organizationally and functionally separate from those who deployed and supported the code. The reasoning behind the movement is that these siloed teams, concerned only with their own objectives, resulted in botched releases, significant delays, poor communication and, ultimately, unhappy customers. It took a few years to gain traction, but when Gartner got on board with the concept in 2011, adoption soared, and Agile development practices like automated build and test and continuous integration and delivery became the new norm.
