How to work through the four complicated DevOps stages

Source – techtarget.com For thousands of years, we have been devising ways to cross bodies of water. Historically, our attempts were crude — makeshift rafts and rickety, ferrylike vessels.

Let’s apply this to DevOps. Like bridging two shorelines together, DevOps involves efficiently linking an organization’s business idea to its market. For an organization to
