DevOps = “DEVelopment and OPerationS”

DevOps is the practice of operations and development engineers participating together in the entire service lifecycle, from design through the development process to production support. Amazon defines DevOps as the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increase an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. This speed enables organizations to better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market.

DevOps is certainly a role where you must enjoy working with many different people and teams, appeasing competing agendas, and having many bosses.
