What is DevOps?

DevOps is nothing but a set of cultural practices, philosophies, and tools that help n organization to deliver applications and services faster than usual and improve and evolve their products at a much brisker pace than software development organizations that are still stuck with traditional infrastructure management processes. This ability to work at speed allows organizations to develop a much-needed competitive edge and at the same time, serve their customers in a better way.

It is a term that has emerged out of the coming together of two related concepts. One of these concepts is agile operations or agile infrastructure. Agile operation is a concept that involves the application of Lean and Agile methodologies to operations. The second concept is a much broader one and involves a thorough understanding of how collaboration between development and operations teams through the software development lifecycle brings value. Because of the demand, DevOps salary in India is one of the highest.

DevOps RoadMap

1. Understanding the working of Cloud Service Platforms:

Modern IT infrastructure often builds its foundation on cloud service platforms. A DevOps practitioner, further expanding into this domain, must explore specific cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). With a comprehensive understanding of these platforms’ nuances, their services, deployment models and pricing structures, DevOps engineers can optimize infrastructure as they harness the full potential of solutions based in the clouds.

Furthermore, it is crucial to master Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform and CloudFormation. The codification of infrastructure through IaC promotes consistency and scalability. Therefore, proficiency in these tools becomes indispensable. Aligning with the DevOps ethos of automation and reproducibility involves learning how to design, provision, and manage infrastructure via code. One should learn the working of Cloud service platforms because many companies are using their infrastructure on the cloud. It is an essential skill which should be learned.

2.Knowledge of Using Tool to Monitor and Collection of Important Feedback:

Continuous improvement drives DevOps, with its core being effective monitoring. Although valuable tools such as Splunk and Nagios exist, a deeper understanding of system performance, resource utilization, and application behavior can emerge by delving into advanced solutions like Prometheus and Grafana.

DevOps engineers, in their pursuit of proactive issue identification and resolution, must grasp the setup of meaningful alerts, dashboards, and logs. They should also integrate with incident response systems like PagerDuty or OpsGenie for instance to guarantee a swift reaction to potential disruptions.

This is crucial. Further exploration into Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools such as New Relic or Datadog is recommended. It grants them visibility into application-level performance. Implementation of changes as soon as possible after the collection of feedback is an essential skill for a DevOps Engineer. Knowledge of Monitoring tools such as Splunk, Nagios and many more are necessary for a DevOps Engineer to learn.

3.Knowledge and Experience of Deployment of Application:

In ensuring smooth and reliable application delivery, pivotal roles are played by deployment strategies. Docker and Puppet serve as essential tools. However, extending the knowledge to Kubernetes for container orchestration enhances the ability with a dash of efficiency to manage complex applications based on microservices effectively.

Embracing practices such as Infrastructure as Code which defines and automates deployment pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI, we foster consistency and repeatability. Further automation through Continuous Deployment (CD) minimizes the release process’s manual interventions. A DevOps Engineer should know how to deploy in the server of production. Knowledge of Configuration and Deployment in the production environment by using tools such as Docker and Puppet is beneficial.

4.Knowledge of Continuous Testing, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Integration

Adopting a holistic approach to testing and seamlessly integrating it into the development pipeline is the imperative of every DevOps engineer. In addition to automated unit tests, a baseline requirement, considering Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) frameworks such as Cucumber or Behave not only enhances collaboration between QA teams but also fosters an environment where developers are more aligned with quality assurance objectives.

By implementing Continuous Integration (CI) using tools such as Jenkins or GitLab CI, we ensure regular integration, testing and validation of code changes. When coupled with Continuous Delivery (CD), this process automates the deployment of tested code into production-like environments thus fostering a culture that promotes frequent and incremental releases. DevOps need to know how things can be automated in the testing stage. The code should be less complicated so that it can run fine in both development and testing environments.

5.Good Knowledge of Tool for Source Code Management and Build Tools:

DevOps engineers should extend their understanding of version control systems beyond Git. They ought to delve into advanced Git workflows like Gitflow or GitHub Flow. Proficiency in managing branches effectively, resolving conflicts and preserving a clean commit history enhances the efficiency of development processes.

Gradle and Maven, two standout build tools in their field, offer potent capabilities for dependency management and project automation. When we integrate these tools into the CI/CD pipeline, a procedure that emphasizes continuous integration and delivery of software updates, we secure an efficient, reproducible and scalable build process. A competent DevOps Engineer should know how to process the building of automation. One should know how to build the commit continuously. There are some automation servers that DevOps should know, such as the working of Jenkins.

6.Skills of Source Code Management:

Foundational proficiency in Git remains essential. However, a DevOps engineer must also delve into the advanced features of Git. This involves grasping concepts such as rebasing and cherry-picking, along with submodule management. These provide a more nuanced approach to codebase control. Furthermore, by exploring Git hooks, it’s possible to automate both pre- and post-commit tasks, consequently enhancing the overall development workflow.

A deep understanding of GitLab or GitHub Actions for automating workflows is essential encompassing the critical processes of testing, building and deploying applications. By harnessing capabilities inherent within these platforms one can realize a development lifecycle that’s not only more integrated but also vastly automated. A DevOps Engineer should have proficiency in at least one source code management tool (version control system) such as Git.

Most Demanding DevOps Skills

1. Linux Fundamentals And Scripting

Gone are those days when companies worried about proprietary operating systems. We are now in the era of Linux. Most companies prefer hosting their applications on Linux. As such, skills in handling a Linux operating system are very crucial for a DevOps Engineer.

So, a DevOps Engineer must be able to handle any scripting language and must be well-versed with at least one scripting language (preferably Python). So the inevitable DevOps skillset would be Linux and Linux based scripting.

2. Knowledge On Various DevOps Tools And Technologies

DevOps practices are executed in various stages, and each stage has tools that can facilitate that stage. The main stages are

  • Source Code Management

Developers create and modify the software codes regular. Source code management software is used to store the code, merge new code to the old one, control the code versions, etc.

  •  Configuration Management

Configuration management is used to keep track of software and operating system configurations. It also helps to manage configurations across thousands of servers. It is done through a click of a button or the execution of a single command on the management server.

  • Continuous Integration

Continuous integration, abbreviated as CI, is the process of automating the code integrations from different developers into a single piece of software.

  • Continuous Testing

Continuous testing is the process of reducing feedback waiting time after code testings. The code is tested in the development environment itself using automation testing tools.

  • Continuous Monitoring

Continuous monitoring is used to monitor application performance, downtimes, error logs, etc. The main tools used are Nagios, Zabbix, Splunk, etc.

  • Containerization

Containerization is the process of virtualizing an operating system so that different containers running different applications can share the operating system and system resources.

Containerization allows isolating processes from the other part of the software. Every container works as a virtual machine that runs a piece of the entire process. Many organizations evaluate the knowledge of containerization when they evaluate AWS devops salary.

Since containers can be shut down and spun up very quickly, containerization makes it simpler and cost-effective to use various aspects of the software. A DevOps engineer must understand containerization because it influences how a product is developed, tailored, and tested. DevOps engineers skilled in these aspects can earn admirable AWS devops salary.

3. Continuous Integration And Continuous Delivery

Continuous Integration And Continuous Delivery or abbreviated as CI/CD is the essence of DevOps. It is the practice of continuously integrating all the code from different developers, continuously testing them, and deploying the successful code to production.

4. Infrastructure As Code

Previously provisioning IT infrastructure was a long, tedious, and manual process. With the birth of cloud computing and containerization technologies, the infrastructure needed by developers can be provisioned through an automated script.

5. Key concepts of DevOps 

DevOps unlike what people think, is neither a technology nor a tool. It’s a methodology that doesn’t have a strict framework. So companies can adopt the methodology by tailoring the framework as per their standards.

6. Soft skills

Soft skills play a great role in the IT industry with the adoption of DevOps methodology. Most companies prefer an Agile way of working using DevOps methodologies so that teams work in high velocity and produce deliverable faster to meet client expectations.

 How does a DevOps Engineer enhance the DevOps culture?

People consider DevOps more inclined towards a cultural shift rather than an innovative development method. DevOps engineers enhance a culture of collaboration, communication, and shared responsibility between all parties for the whole development lifecycle.

One of the greatest challenges a DevOps engineer faces is letting all stakeholders work together. The stakeholders include front-end developers, back-end developers, UI/UX developers, product testers, IT operations admins, security admins, executives, and customer service Reps who deal with end-users.

All these stakeholders are equally significant in the DevOps culture. Their respective visions share the same value.  The AWS devops engineer salary in India is increasing because these engineers are expected to bring a cultural shift. This shift may need developers and executives to improve their listening skills. A DevOps Engineer may need to guide them through the cultural shift process.

1. Promoting Collaboration

The DevOps salary in India hinges on the ability to merge the operations and development teams. Essential is the encouragement of open communication and collaboration, traditionally limited in these departments.

This undertaking, organizing cross-functional team meetings, fostering an environment where knowledge is shared freely, requires not just technical proficiency but also promoting empathy within developers,testers, and personnel from operations. A DevOps Engineer dismantles communication barriers, thereby fostering a work environment characterized by collaboration and cohesiveness.

2. Emphasizing Continuous Learning

DevOps, a field perpetually in evolution, witnesses regular emergence of new tools and practices. A culture rooted in continuous learning, an environment the DevOps Engineer must foster within their team, requires not only organization of training sessions but also sharing industry trends along with best practices. Most importantly, it needs nurturing an experimental mindset that accepts failures as opportunities for growth and learning. A DevOps Engineer fosters an environment of adaptability and innovation by actively staying current with the latest developments, sharing knowledge, and promoting a culture that values continuous learning.

3. Establishing a blame-free Culture

The software development process inherently incorporates failure. In emphasizing a blame-free approach to failures, a DevOps Engineer contributes positively to the culture. Rather than attributing issues with blame, we should focus on identifying root causes, learning from mistakes. A proactive attitude towards problem-solving receives encouragement from this culture shift. Moreover, it nurtures an environment in which team members feel secure to take risks and innovate.

4. Implementing DevOps Metrics

Subjective feelings of collaboration do not solely define DevOps. We can quantify and measure it. A DevOps Engineer has the ability to introduce key performance indicators (KPIs) that gauge several aspects, including the development pipeline’s efficiency, deployment frequency, lead time and even mean time for recovery. This data-driven approach enhances transparency and accountability, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement.

5. Encouraging Cross-Functional Skills

To obtain a good DevOps salary in India a DevOps Engineer ought to champion cross-functional skill development within the team. This entails fostering an environment where developers comprehend operations and vice versa. Through cultivating a culture that liberates team members from confinement in their specific roles, thereby promoting holistic understanding of the entire software delivery process, a versatile and adaptable team emerges.
