DevOps is a software development process that prioritizes collaboration and communication between development and operations teams. A DevOps engineer is in charge of bridging the gap between these two teams and ensuring that the software development process runs smoothly.

Here are some of the most important abilities for a successful DevOps engineer:

Linux Fundamentals and Scripting: A DevOps engineer must be knowledgeable in the Linux operating system, as most businesses prefer to host their applications on Linux. Furthermore, most configuration management technologies, such as Puppet, Chef, and Ansible, have their master nodes operating on Linux. As a result, a DevOps engineer must be able to work with any scripting language and be well-versed in at least one scripting language (ideally Python).

Knowledge of Various DevOps Tools and Technologies: DevOps processes are carried out in stages, and each stage offers tools that can help with that stage. Source code management, configuration management, continuous integration, continuous deployment, continuous monitoring, and cloud computing are the primary steps. A DevOps engineer must be familiar with various tools and technologies in order to ensure that the software development process operates smoothly.

Cloud Computing: A DevOps engineer should be familiar with cloud computing systems such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. They should be competent to deploy and manage apps on cloud platforms.

Automation is a critical component of DevOps approaches. To automate the software development process, a DevOps engineer should be familiar with automation tools such as Jenkins, Travis CI, CircleCI, and others.
