Day to Day activities of a DEVOPS Engineer :
Let me give an example of how dev-ops engineer works throughout a day.
They begin addressing the backlog of tasks related to automation. Backlog usually includes a ranked list of tasks to help maintain the project’s infrastructure. A blend of different technologies, complex automated testing, reverting or rollback the code changes, delivering code, and more. A DevOp engineer needs to coordinate the various infrastructure elements and incorporate automation tools at multiple tiers without risking system failure and He is responsible for overseeing project status and monitoring all activities within system components throughout the SDLC. The DevOps engineer comprehends the client’s requirements, aspirations, and hopes for the product. “DevOps engineer doesn’t embrace new automation tools for CI/CD, testing, and deployment on a daily basis, but regularly incorporates them into their work“.
A typical day in the life of a DevOps engineer consists of the following activities.
1.Continuous automating, testing, and deployment.
2.They Have to make sure that the CI/CD pipeline running smoothly.
3.Analysing new tools and updating the current pipeline.
4.Keeping all code changes into a single system so that it can be modified and tested.
5.Guiding developers and operation teams in case of an issue and monitoring, reviewing, and managing technical operations too.
6.They must be Capable of automating the entire DevOps pipeline, including application performance monitoring, CI/CD cycles, infrastructure and configuration management.
7.They must deeply understand the DevOps toolset, coding, and scripting.
8.Troubleshooting techniques and fixing the code bugs.
9.Implementing various development, testing, automation tools, and IT infrastructure.
10.Defining and setting development, test, release, update, and support processes for DevOps operation.
11.Monitoring the processes during the entire lifecycle for its adherence and updating or creating new processes for improvement and minimizing the wastage.
12.Incidence management and root cause analysis.
13.Coordination and communication within the team and with customers.
14.DevOps Engineer has to investigate and resolve technical issues provide technical support, perform root cause analysis for production errors.
Based on your skill and knowledge the activities keep changing. Improving the skill and hands-on practices.
Must required skill for DevOps ROLE :
-> Experience working on Linux based infrastructure
-> Excellent understanding of Ruby, Python, Perl, and Java
-> Configuration and managing databases such as MySQL, Mongo
-> Excellent troubleshooting
-> Working knowledge of various tools, open-source technologies, and cloud services
-> Awareness of critical concepts in DevOps and Agile principles
-> Planning the team structure, activities, and involvement in project management activities.
-> Understanding customer requirements.
-> They need to work on build tools to improve customer experience and develop software to integrate with internal back-end systems.
NOTE ! : Using technologies in a specific domain or stack has no limit. Its limits are constantly shifting, either through time or through incremental progress.
Thankyou :)!
