What does a DevOps Engineer do?

HomeResourcesBlogWhat does a DevOps Engineer do?
March 22, 2021 | DevOps
Read Time: 04:00

There are some misconceptions around who DevOps Engineers are and what do they do – do they write codes or are they responsible for system engineering?

We will help you clear any doubts that you might have and help you understand who exactly is a DevOps Engineer.

But before we move onto the roles and responsibilities, let us first understand what DevOps is.

What is DevOps?

DevOps, as its name (Dev + Ops) suggests, is a compilation of Development and Operations.
It is a phenomenon used for bringing balance to the software development lifecycle by bridging the gap between the company’s developers and the IT team. With DevOps, organizations can release small features or regular updates and receive feedbacks faster as it reduces software failures and shortens the lead time between bug fixes.

DevOps handles multiple technologies to develop CI/CD automation pipelines – development, testing, and deployment. Now, to streamline these processes, a DevOps engineer is required.

Who is a DevOps Engineer?

A DevOps engineer is a person who fully comprehends the software development cycle, with the knowledge and understanding of tools, processes, and other methodologies. While the developers work on new features of the apps and the IT operators work towards stabilizing the app after the release, a DevOps engineer unifies and automates these processes. A DevOps engineer is required to work with the company’s software development team, the system operators & admins, as well as the IT operations team to administer code releases, the app’s or product’s maintenance and management, deployments, etc. on a CI/CD (continuous delivery/continuous deployment) basis.

Some of the commonly used tools a DevOps engineer uses include:

  • Source code management tools (Version Control System) – Git & GitHub
  • Automation server, alongside plug-ins built for CI/ CD pipelines development tool – Jenkins
  • Automation tester tool – Selenium
  • Software/App Containerization Platform – Docker
  • Container Orchestration Platform – Kubernetes
  • Configuration Management & Deployment tool – Puppet
  • Another Configuration Management & Deployment tool – Chef
  • Configuration Management & Deployment – Ansible
  • Continual Monitoring tool – Nagios

A DevOps engineer is needed at various levels of a software development cycle. So, if you are thinking of making a shift to this career, learn DevOps and get a DevOps certification because it is a great path.

Now the question is, how can you become a DevOps engineer? What exactly will be your role in an organization?

Let’s understand what are the tasks that a DevOps engineer performs regularly.

What does a DevOps Engineer do?

A DevOps Engineer’s Roles & Responsibilities

There is a range of roles and responsibilities that a DevOps engineer takes on, which includes:

Roles:

  • Evangelist: A leader or principal officer who is responsible for DevOps implementation
  • Release Manager: Who responsibly releases any new features and ensures the post-release app or product is stable
  • Automation Expert: The one who takes care of automating and orchestrating the tools
  • Software Developer or Tester: The person who looks after the development of code and its testing
  • Quality Assurance: The person who makes sure that the quality of the app or the product is aligned to its requirements
  • Security Engineer: The one who monitors the product’s security

Routine Responsibilities:

  • Taking the lead, whenever needed, and manage the ‘when’, ‘where’, and ‘how’ of the IT project
  • Making sure everyone is informed about the objectives and deadlines by staying in constant contact
  • Identifying ways to enhance infrastructure, collaborate, and reduce time-to-market
  • Evaluating how reliable the systems are and how well they work
  • Taking measures to reduce the repetitive tasks, fasten the automation, and build useful software plugins
  • Determining the ways to optimize the release cycle, smoothen the processes, and eliminate the unseen time drains
  • Providing feedback from production and reduce ‘time to detect’ errors
  • Keeping all the processes secure including infrastructure designs, automation processes, as well as release schedules

DevOps Engineer: Skills Required

  • Knowledge of any or all of the cloud platforms i.e., AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Hands-on experience of Configuration Management
  • Knowledge of deploying virtualization and deployment Tools like Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Terraform, etc.
  • Hands-on knowledge of network and storage
  • Well-versed with scripting and Git workflows
  • Experienced in coding, developing CI/CD pipelines, and testing
  • Knowledge of the IT organization’s security aspects

A DevOps Engineer is considered to be one of the highest paying jobs in the world. The salary of a DevOps engineer, however, varies according to the company, skills, location, etc. The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of technologies, and it is the right time to sign-up for a DevOps course and learns!
