QUESTIONS
Common questions about DevOps
Is DevOps a single tool?
No. It involves collaboration, delivery practices and operational feedback, supported by tools such as Git and CI systems.
Should I know Linux first?
Basic navigation, permissions and process inspection make the exercises easier. Build these skills before complex pipelines.
Is Docker the same as a virtual machine?
No. Containers generally share the host kernel; virtual machines provide separate guest operating systems.
Does CI mean automatic production deployment?
No. Continuous integration automates integration checks. Production deployment can still require approval.
