The goal: deliver value faster, safer, and more reliably. Docker standardizes “how we run,” Kubernetes standardizes “where we run,” and CI/CD glues everything together. The Dev + Ops Gap (and How to Bridge It) Developers want speed; Ops wants stability. Bridge the gap with versioned infrastructure, immutable images, automated testing, and continuous delivery. Outcome: repeatable releases, smaller blast radius, happier teams. CI/CD at a Glance Continuous Integrat...
