Risk Management in DevOps focuses on identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential risks that could impact system availability, security, or business continuity.
This includes managing deployment risks, infrastructure vulnerabilities, code quality issues, compliance gaps, and operational dependencies. Strategies often involve automated testing, canary deployments, rollback procedures, and security audits.
Effective risk management balances speed with safety — allowing teams to innovate quickly without exposing the business to unnecessary threats. It’s a foundational part of secure, scalable software delivery.
