SAP DevOps Model for SAP

The SAP DevOps Model combines Development (Dev) and Operations (Ops) to create a collaborative and automated approach for managing SAP systems. This model focuses on continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), and rapid deployment of SAP solutions. By breaking down silos between development and operations teams, the DevOps model enables faster innovation, improved system reliability, and efficient management of SAP environments
