DevOps is a combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organisation’s ability to deliver software and other products and services rapidly and reliably. It aims at establishing a culture and environment where building, testing, and releasing software can happen rapidly, frequently, and more reliably.
Scripting and Automation:
- Develop scripting skills (Python, Bash, etc.) to automate routine tasks and processes.
Continuous Integration (CI):
- Learn CI tools like Jenkins, Travis CI, or GitLab CI to automate building, testing, and deployment of code.
Continuous Deployment (CD):
- Understand CD practices and tools like Jenkins, Spinnaker, or ArgoCD to automate the deployment pipeline.
Version Control:
- Master Git and practice using it for version control and collaboration with other team members.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC):
- Learn IaC tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation to automate infrastructure provisioning.
Monitoring and Logging:
- Gain proficiency in monitoring and logging tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), and New Relic.
