Monitoring system performance and application logs is critical in the DevOps model. These tools allow teams to track metrics, identify potential issues, and respond quickly to incidents. Monitoring helps maintain software stability and performance, even as frequent updates are deployed.
One of the core principles of DevOps is fostering better communication between development, operations, and other teams like QA and security. By breaking down silos, DevOps encourages shared ownership of the software development lifecycle, from initial design to deployment and beyond.
