Abstract
DevOps bridges the gap between software development and operations to provide rapid deliveries and integrated collaboration. However, DevOps entails lots of factors and challenges involved in its implementation including technical, organizational and personnel aspects. Focusing on the last set of aspects, this paper identifies current DevOps job roles, an aspect that is crucial to implement and to support DevOps practices in organizations. It also highlights collaboration between different actors under different automation levels in DevOps to deliver software at high speed.
