What the heck is DevOps? Well, it’s a continuous loop of plan, code, build, test, release, deploy, operate, monitor, and feedback. It’s how the development team and IT operations team automate and integrate the processes between them. And by definition, it’s a set of practices, tools, and a cultural philosophy.
Today, we’re going to go over the entirety of DevOps, how it works, and the tools used.

You are very interesting. You make this interesting even though it’s extremely boring lol. I’m getting ready for an interview next week and this is going to be one of the topics and I know barely anything about it but after watching your clip, I feel 100% more confident thank you so much.

My DevOps is Shift + Tab
@JackLim45 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
great walkthrough of planning through monitoring. understanding how automation connects each phase is crucial for exams like AWS DevOps Engineer or Azure DevOps. i practiced scenario questions on Cert Empire to strengthen lifecycle-based thinking.

Great video man!
@JesseMartin-xv2ue · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
I agree, by far the best explanation I've seen. You explain it as if we were 6 year olds, successfully.
@kn8u · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
Totally random but the way you say Forrest sounds like Faris, which in arabic means knight, and you go by Forrest Knight which is kinda cool.
@kriaabassem · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
interesting 🤩

Succinct, eye poppin info and some fun!😄
@rizwanmtc · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
great to the point
@ddiva511 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
Yes. That is how a small software company started. I would run back and forth to the programmers. This just puts visuals to what we did. It kind of is like the SDLC process.

Thank you forrrrrreeeesssst
@tnabizade · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
Forrest, interesting to see your perspective on is Platform engineering part Devlops + Devex or some puzzle piece is missing?
@smokinglopez · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
dude are you into cigars?
@PinkyKhuwadiya · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
Yeah man being an indie dev its unrelatable knowing there are diff people for even things that you usually pull off easily as a part of your main project
@jonaskarlsson5901 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
This seems unnecessarily complex
@afrobeatsinstrumentalsEurope · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
I just started learning about tech today and everything is just sooo confusing to me like everything but I know in some months the case will be different
@mlodyczajnik · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
Walton Goggins of IT has spoken on my fav topic, thanks
@ChristopherMSparkman · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
Funny mustache is apparently a thing with devgru and dev ops – running and gunning or running and coding something’s just character meta across the board in life
@jonasb9544 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
why the hack are you propagating git flow? I mean Eric Driven reflected it and recommended to not use it for SPA and Webapps. Its not a good practice to use it in regards and DevOps, I would recommend you to explain DevOps with the
Three Ways.
@deanwhite8413 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
Thanks.
@ThePretentious1 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
This was the best explanation I’ve come across that, you’ve said just enough that most people can understand it, you’ve not gone too far in depth that people loose track.
@CristiManolescu · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
Nice explanation, no nerd stuff, everything str8 forward
@crearaine · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
I really want to know what distro are you using, as well as what is this whole theme and IDE? looks so lovely!
@ahmedpatel408 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
thank you
@Consultant3152 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
Better learn SAP instead

I'm in Product Management (more from the strategic side) and this was extremely helpful. Thank you 🙏

Awesome Video, Short, Crystal clear and absolutely everything in a nutshell
@jodyjoy7962 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
thanks for your explaination! love it
@gvsaikrishna · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
On a lighter note why Jesus is explaining about Devops? hehehe.
@christinepoon3877 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
It’s called UX 4:50
@vjatseslavjertsalov2829 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
Yeah, that is work for very small teams…BUT…not that much for Enterprise scale organisations. In such organisations if you are just DEV you almost no nothing about OPS side. Because there are always Teams or particularly skilled people that handles the OPS side
@jonasprintzen9508 · November 9, 2026 at 12:15 pm
This is your take, on a limited and naive scope, on how parts of DevOps can be applied in a particular situation.
This is not a good way to introduce DevOps. It's naive and mix and mesh concepts that are related into a false tag.
Small-team DevOps, is a conjured rationalization of the team-focused benefits in a form and shape that is to incomplete to give the full benefits …
