Glossary Terms
Ansible
Ansible automates server setup, configuration management, and application deployment with YAML playbooks and no persistent agent.
CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery)
CI/CD makes software releases repeatable by moving code changes through automated build, test, and deployment pipelines.
DevOps
DevOps aligns software development and operations through shared processes, automation, metrics, and more reliable delivery.
Docker
Docker packages application code and dependencies into container images so the same service can run consistently in development, test, and production.
Git
Git is distributed version control that tracks code changes through commits and lets teams work in parallel with branching and merging.
GitHub
GitHub hosts Git repositories and brings software teams together with pull requests, issues, packages, security features, and automation.
GitHub Actions
GitHub Actions runs test, build, security, and deployment automation through YAML workflows triggered by repository events.
Immutable Infrastructure
Immutable infrastructure replaces servers with new images or instances for every change instead of patching running machines in place.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Infrastructure as Code defines servers, networks, and cloud resources in versioned code files instead of manual console configuration.
Internal Developer Platform (IDP)
An internal developer platform standardizes how teams create, deploy, and operate services through self-service workflows.
MLOps
MLOps manages machine learning data, training, deployment, monitoring, and retraining with production engineering discipline.
Monitoring
Monitoring tracks application and infrastructure metrics, logs, and alerts to detect problems before users or SLAs are affected.
Observability
Observability is the ability to understand a system's internal state from its external outputs (logs, metrics, traces) — a key DevOps principle.
Platform Engineering
Platform engineering builds shared infrastructure products that help software teams ship services securely and repeatably.
Shift Left Testing
Shift left testing moves automated checks into requirements, design, and coding stages so defects are found before production.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
SRE applies software engineering to reliability work, including automation, incident response, capacity planning, and service targets.
Terraform
Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code tool that manages cloud resources through HCL configuration, provider plugins, and state files.
