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.

Heyo!
This is an awesome post! 🔥 In fact, the topic of your post would also work really well in The Ops Community too!
The Ops Community is a place for cloud engineers to share tips & tricks, tutorials, and career insights. Folks there commonly share information about DevOps and SecOps topics amongst other things.
Would you consider posting this article there too? Because The Ops Community is built on the same platform as DEV (Forem) you can fairly easily copy the Markdown and post your article there as well.
Really hope that you'll share your post with the community there and consider browsing the other Forem communities out there!
Can information about git&github be shared there too?
Uloma, congratulations on your career success sister! You've got big and friendly energy and probably more than perfect as a go-between for teams.
Do you see your position as being partially-management based, partially-code based? I see you talking about scripting in bash. Is that just for automation? Or is it for something more? I'm not entirely sure.
What does your cloud-based management look like? Is that also for for automation? Or is there something else happening there. I truly don't know, and figured I'd get some more information from the source (a Dev-ops developer) versus a search engine.
But if you're busy, I don't mind doing some research either.
Congratulations again, keep kicking tail!
