Bridging development and operations to deliver software reliably at speed. Automating delivery pipelines, managing infrastructure as code, and ensuring system reliability at scale.
DevOps unifies software development and IT operations to shorten delivery cycles while maintaining system stability. It encompasses continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), infrastructure as code (IaC), container orchestration, monitoring, incident response, and reliability engineering. From basic command-line skills to enterprise-scale platform engineering, DevOps has clear growth stages rooted in automation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
You navigate the Linux command line to perform basic tasks like file manipulation, process inspection, and log reading. You understand what version control is and can use Git for basic operations. You grasp the concept of CI/CD — why automating build and deploy matters — even if you haven't built a pipeline yourself. You understand that DevOps bridges development and operations teams.
