Development and operations (DevOps) is a cultural movement or framework that aims to build a bridge between IT development and operation with the purpose of efficiently shortening the development cycle at low cost. Many organizations are adopting DevOps practices due to the substantial benefits that have been shown such as a significantly faster time to market and reliability.

Finally, the ultimate goal of this protocol is to develop DevOps’ Culture Challenges Model (DC2M) to improve collaboration, understanding ...
