The DevOps Lifecycle (Plan-Code-Build-Test-Release-Deploy-Operate-Monitor)
Part of the DevOps Roadmap
In short
The continuous, looping set of stages software moves through — unlike a traditional linear release cycle, DevOps treats this as an infinite loop where monitoring feeds back into planning.
How to learn this
- 1Diagram the DevOps lifecycle as a loop, not a straight line, and label each stage.
- 2Identify which stage a specific tool from this roadmap (e.g. Terraform, Jenkins) primarily supports.
- 3Learn why 'monitor' feeding back into 'plan' is the key idea that makes this a loop, not a pipeline.
