DEVOPS

JOB DESCRIPTION

The profession of DevOps was born from the merger of the profession of developer and that of system administrator with the goal of improving the ability to deliver applications and services at a high rate. DevOps accelerates product evolution and optimization by overriding the traditional process of software development and infrastructure management.

The role of DevOps is to orchestrate and solve issues of scalability, automation and industrialization. Its missions and responsibilities are varied. He is responsible for regularly deploying applications and performing upstream tests in an environment similar to that of production. It closely monitors operation and production quality through metrics.

REQUIRED SKILLS

- TECHNIQUES -

Ideally, to become a DevOps engineer you have to start your career in development, whether as a .NET developer, a Java developer or a PHP developer. This will give you the possibility to create scripts using different technologies, like Shell, Python or other specific languages. This will give you the scripting and code skills required to succeed in a DevOps environment.

After 2 or 3 years as a Developer, the next logical steps for an aspiring DevOps is to work as part of an infrastructure team. Look for an infrastructure team that works with Windows and Linux servers, as automation on Linux servers is extremely popular thanks to the "build automation" software on the platform. If you have strong problem-solving skills, you will be able to apply as a System Administrator (intermediate level).

This will allow you to develop your infrastructure knowledge and you will have a good understanding of software architectures. Combined with good knowledge in scripting you will be able to evolve in an environment favoring automation and continuous deployment.
