In a world driven by rapid digital transformation, software delivery needs to be more agile, secure, and scalable than ever before. DevOps has emerged not just as a buzzword, but as a cultural and technical shift revolutionizing how software is built and deployed. The integration of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines into modern development lifecycles has redefined the speed and quality with which products reach end users. DevOps Demystified: A Hands-On Approach to CI/CD Pipelines is our humble attempt to provide a practical, accessible, and comprehensive guide to this transformation. Whether you’re a software engineer, a system administrator, a DevOps practitioner, or a student exploring this field, this book offers real-world insights and actionable techniques to implement DevOps workflows effectively. From foundational concepts to advanced practices like Infrastructure as Code, DevSecOps, and performance optimization, each chapter is designed to offer clarity and hands-on guidance. Our goal is to demystify the process—not just explain what DevOps is, but show how and why it works, with tools, frameworks, and best practices along the way. We hope this book becomes a trusted companion in your journey of mastering modern software delivery.
