DevOps is a cultural and professional movement, not a team or job role. It aims to make everyone better through inclusive culture, lean principles, automation, measurement and sharing. This allows organizations to define infrastructure configurations programmatically using infrastructure as code for versioning, reuse and testing. Tools like Chef can help by defining reusable resources and roles to manage complex infrastructure relationships and improve the value stream. DevOps is not just for small teams but can impact even large organizations.
