Abstract

DevOps automation is transforming software engineering by integrating development and operations through continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD). By employing automation tools, organizations can accelerate release cycles, enhance reliability, and reduce human error. Automated pipelines in CI/CD environments enable faster feedback loops, improved collaboration, and consistent delivery standards. This paper explores the methodologies, benefits, and challenges of DevOps automation, emphasizing its role in optimizing modern software delivery.
