Why is the term DevOps often mentioned in tandem with the term Agile?

Question

Agile

And does freelancing exist in DevOps nature? Or is it only about teamwork?

Answer 1

Because it's all buzz words. That is "fashionable". If you don't have people who call themselves devops, you're not trendy. If you are not doing Agile, you are not fashionable.
In general, these are related things. Let's take a look at the wiki and see what it is:
that is, this is when admins and programmers work together and not separately as usual. What for? read further:
That is, roughly speaking, the DevOps methodology helps us if we have frequent releases. That is once a week. Or once a day. Or several times a day.
Frequent releases are normal in iterative development. And all "Agile" methodologies are based on the idea of ​​incremental releases, iterative development, reducing the feedback loop.
As we found out earlier, DevOps is a methodology, not a person. So in order for us to have DevOps, we need at least two people. Or one that does both Dev and Ops.
You can freelance on the Dev or Ops part and interact with the other part of the problem. In general, HRs understand DevOps as ordinary Ops (admins) and almost no one cares. And in some companies, they get so caught up that there are people who call LiveOps. They say everything is so Agile that Ops work with the Dev environment and the Live environment. Seriously, I was somehow rubbed in one very large company.
