Yes — many other “Ops” paradigms exist today, each targeting a different intersection of disciplines — extending from DevOps (Dev + Ops) into security, finance, AI, ML, data, networking, compliance, and even business process management.
Below is a comprehensive taxonomy of *-Ops variations grouped by domain, with low-level explanation of scope, key automation/tooling areas, and source-level origins (where the concept evolved from in the DevOps ecosystem).
🧩 1. Core Evolution of DevOps
  
    
      | Term | Expansion | Description | Typical Tools/Stack | Origin | 
  
  
    
      | DevOps | Development + Operations | Automates build, test, deploy, and operations lifecycle. Uses CI/CD pipelines, IaC, observability, and feedback loops. | Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Kubernetes | Coined by Patrick Debois (2009, Velocity Conference). Rooted in Agile & Lean manufacturing (Toyota’s Just-in-Time). |
