DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). It aims to shorten the system development lifecycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.
DevOps engineers focus on automation, infrastructure management, monitoring, and collaboration between development and operations teams.
CI/CD Pipelines – Implement and maintain Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, etc.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) – Automate infrastructure provisioning with Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, Pulumi, or Chef.
Containerization & Orchestration – Work with Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and other container technologies.
Cloud Computing – Deploy and manage applications on cloud providers like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud.
Monitoring & Logging – Use tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), Datadog for system observability.
Security & Compliance – Implement security best practices, RBAC, IAM, DevSecOps, and vulnerability scanning with tools like SonarQube, Snyk, Falco, Aqua Security.
Scripting & Automation – Write automation scripts in Python, Bash, Go, or PowerShell for infrastructure management.
Configuration Management – Use tools like Ansible, Puppet, Chef, SaltStack for managing infrastructure state.
Networking & Load Balancing – Configure NGINX, HAProxy, AWS ELB, Cloudflare, or Istio for traffic routing.
Collaboration & Communication – Work closely with developers, security teams, and platform engineers to ensure smooth delivery.
