Organizations gain a competitive edge from DevOps by being able to develop and enhance products more quickly. Teams are able to have quicker development cycles, lower implementation errors, and generally improve team communication when operations and development are combined.

Students can follow the entire deployment cycle in this lab, from creating and testing the code to containerization, integration, and delivery, in an effort to simulate working in a DevOps team. With DevOps, it's possible to see the big picture in addition to a single task.

Additionally, this lab will assist students in developing the communication skills and agile methodologies necessary for DevOps in order to operate as data scientists.
