There are seven elements to the software delivery lifecycle :
- Build
- Test
- Package
- Provision
- Secure
- Deploy
- Monitor
The essence of DevOps is when operation, security and development teams parallelize these cycles.
The heart of DevOps is during these seven step should not skip one or more, and the priority must to minimize the coordination required to perform each step. And each team should working independently to reduce the coordination and increase the productivity.
