Is D8 group abelian?

Could you please clarify if the D8 group possesses the property of being abelian? It's important to understand the nature of its operation and how the elements interact under multiplication. Is it true that for any two elements a and b in the D8 group, the product a*b equals b*a? This would indicate that the group is indeed abelian, allowing for a simpler understanding of its structure and behavior. Could you elaborate on this aspect of the D8 group?
