Abstract

DevOps can be defined as a set of practices that enables development and operations teams to collaborate in order to produce reliable and high-quality products. Even though DevOps is still a new phenomenon, DevOps practices can be successfully applied in numerous companies. However, it remains unclear what DevOps models currently exist. In this paper, the availability of DevOps models is analyzed by means of a systematic literature review. 24 papers with DevOps models were found and 4 papers were selected as relevant.
