What does a DevOps engineer do?
A DevOps engineer keeps software moving from development into production and keeps it running there. O*NET has no separate DevOps occupation; it lists DevOps Engineer (Development Operations Engineer) as a reported title under Software Developers (O*NET 15-1252.00). The core tasks closest to DevOps work are:
- Analyze information to determine, recommend, and plan installation of a new system or modification of an existing system.
- Determine system performance standards.
- Modify existing software to correct errors, adapt it to new hardware, or upgrade interfaces and improve performance.
- Develop or direct software system testing or validation procedures, programming, or documentation.
Which skills does a DevOps engineer need?
A DevOps engineer needs to plan changes safely, measure systems against a standard and test releases before they ship. Show a migration or installation you planned, how you rolled it out and what you would do differently.
O*NET's technology list for Software Developers covers every kind of developer, so it does not tell you which DevOps tools to learn. Read the job descriptions you want and learn the cloud, deployment and monitoring tools they name.
