DevOps Engineer

A DevOps engineer is a professional who bridges software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops), two worlds that traditionally worked separately. Their goal is for software to be built, tested and released quickly, frequently and reliably. To do this they automate the process through continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, manage the infrastructure — often with containers ✕ A container packages an application with everything it needs to run — code, libraries, dependencies — in an isolated bundle, so it behaves the same in any environment. More in the glossary → like Docker ✕ Docker is the most popular platform for building and running containers. It made the technology mainstream and makes it easy to package an app and move it, unchanged, to any environment. More in the glossary → and orchestrators like Kubernetes ✕ Kubernetes is an open-source system that manages and orchestrates containers at scale: it automates their deployment, load distribution and recovery from failures across many servers.

They combine knowledge of programming, server ✕ A server is a powerful computer that provides data or services to other devices — for example serving a website or storing your cloud files.

You can access them from anywhere. More in the glossary → with a strong automation mindset. It is a highly valued role, because it speeds up the delivery of new features without sacrificing stability.
