1. π‘ͺ𝒐𝒅𝒆:
- Developers create the software code.
- They use tools like Git to work together and keep track of changes.
- Code is like the digital building blocks of the software.

2. π‘©π’–π’Šπ’π’…:
- Turns the written code into a form the computer can understand.
- Automated tools like Jenkins or Travis CI help speed up this process and reduce mistakes.
- This step ensures the software is ready for the next phases.

3. 𝑻𝒆𝒔𝒕:
- Software is tested for bugs and other issues.
- Automated testing tools like JUnit or Selenium make sure the software works well.
- This phase helps catch problems early on, ensuring quality.

Collected.

4. 𝑹𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆:
- Puts the tested software into action.
- Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) practices automate this for speed and reliability.
- Users get to experience the new or updated software.

5. π‘΄π’π’π’Šπ’•π’π’“:
- Teams keep an eye on how the software is doing after release.
- Monitoring tools like Prometheus help catch problems early and keep things running smoothly.
- This phase ensures a good user experience.

6. 𝑢𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆:
- Manages the day-to-day running of the software in real-time.
- Automation and optimization strategies help keep everything working well for users.
- This phase ensures the software stays reliable and responsive.

7. 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏:
- Planning is a key part of DevOps.
- Teams use tools like Jira or Trello to plan and prioritize what needs to be done next.
- Agile methodologies help teams adapt to changing requirements.

8. π‘«π’†π’‘π’π’π’š:
- Makes the software ready to handle more users.
- Infrastructure as code (IaC) automates this process for a smooth and scalable deployment.
- This phase sets the stage for future improvements and expansions.

9. 𝑺𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒆:
- Involves making the software capable of handling more users and data.
- Infrastructure is expanded, and resources are scaled to meet growing demands.
- Scalability ensures the software can grow with the organization’s needs.

10. π‘­π’†π’†π’…π’ƒπ’‚π’„π’Œ 𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒑:
- DevOps is about continuous improvement.
- Teams gather feedback from users and operations to make future development cycles better.
- This loop helps in adapting to changes and delivering value consistently.
