Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Introduction to DevOps

This video introduces DevOps, a set of practices combining software development and IT operations to shorten the system development life cycle and ensure continuous delivery of high-quality software. It highlights the shift from traditional server rooms to cloud services like AWS, Azure, and GCP. DevOps is more than just software practices; it's a company culture focused on efficiently delivering code from developers to users. The main goals include faster code releases, responsiveness to business needs, improved software quality, and reduced downtime. Future videos will explore specific DevOps practices.
