DevOps is a software development and delivery approach that emphasizes collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement, while Agile and SDLC are software development methodologies that focus on iterative and incremental delivery of software.

The key differences are:

• Agile is a methodology that emphasizes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continuous improvement, with teams working in short iterations called sprints[1][2][4]. SDLC is a more structured, sequential approach with defined phases like planning, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance[1][2][4].

• DevOps builds on Agile by automating the processes between software development and IT operations to build, test, and release software faster and more reliably[1][3][5]. It encompasses practices like continuous integration, continuous delivery, and infrastructure as code.

• Agile and SDLC focus more on the development process, while DevOps extends this to the entire...
