DevOps Engineer
The role of the DevOps Engineer is critical to accelerating the software delivery cycle and improving collaboration between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams. Key challenges include building and maintaining automated CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) pipelines, managing Infrastructure as Code, implementing monitoring and logging practices, and ensuring security at every stage of the application lifecycle (DevSecOps). Cloud technologies, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and orchestration tools are growing in importance.

The role of the DevOps Engineer is critical to accelerating the software delivery cycle and improving collaboration between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams. Key challenges include building and maintaining automated CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) pipelines, managing Infrastructure as Code, implementing monitoring and logging practices, and ensuring security at every stage of the application lifecycle (DevSecOps). Cloud technologies, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and orchestration tools are growing in importance.
Necessary technical skills include proficiency in CI/CD tools (e.g. Jenkins, GitLab CI), version control systems (Git), configuration management tools (Ansible, Chef, Puppet), containerization and orchestration platforms, cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP), and scripting languages (Python, Bash). Monitoring skills (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana) and application and infrastructure security are also key. Soft skills are primarily collaboration, communication, problem-solving, systems thinking, and a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge sharing."Technology awareness" and"active learning" are fundamental in this rapidly evolving role.

Recommended EITT Trainings
- DevSecOps - security in the DevOps cycle
- Web application security - best practices
- Elastic Stack Basics
- Fundamentals of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning
- FinOps - cost optimization in the cloud
- DevSecOps - security in the DevOps cycle
- Web application security - best practices
- Monitoring from Grafana
- Elastic Stack Basics
- Fundamentals of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning
- FinOps - cost optimization in the cloud
Rationale
Security integration (DevSecOps) is key to minimizing risk in rapidly changing environments. Understanding AI and ML paves the way for AIOps, or the use of artificial intelligence to automate and optimize IT operations, which is in line with the "AI and big data" trend. Knowledge of FinOps helps manage cloud infrastructure costs
