Automate, deploy, and scale infrastructure
DevOps Engineering revolutionizes software delivery by bridging the gap between development and operations teams, focusing on automation, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. As a DevOps engineer, you will build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, manage infrastructure as code, orchestrate containers, monitor systems, and ensure high availability and scalability. This comprehensive roadmap covers Linux administration, scripting, version control, containerization with Docker, orchestration with Kubernetes, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), infrastructure as code with Terraform, and monitoring tools. DevOps engineers are critical in modern software companies, enabling rapid releases, reducing deployment failures, and improving system reliability. The role requires strong scripting skills, understanding of networking and security, knowledge of cloud platforms, and a problem-solving mindset.
