  • Container Orchestration – Manage Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, ECS clusters
  • Infrastructure as Code – Automate with Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi
  • Monitoring & Alerting – Set up Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, PagerDuty
  • Security & Compliance – Implement DevSecOps practices and vulnerability scanning
  • Incident Response – Troubleshoot production issues and maintain SLAs
03

DevOps tech stack

05

When should you hire a DevOps engineer?

  • You want to optimize deployment frequency and reduce lead times
  • Manual processes are causing bottlenecks and errors
  • You need to improve collaboration between dev and ops teams
  • Your infrastructure needs automation and self-healing capabilities
  • You're migrating to cloud or adopting microservices
  • You need to implement security best practices (DevSecOps)
06

How many DevOps engineers do you need?

    Startup (1-20 devs): 1-2 DevOps engineers

    Mid-size (20-100 devs): 3-5 DevOps engineers

    Enterprise (100+ devs): Dedicated DevOps/Platform team

    The ratio depends on complexity, number of services, deployment frequency, and infrastructure requirements.

07

Does a DevOps engineer need coding skills?

    Yes, DevOps requires solid coding abilities:

  • Python – Automation scripts, AWS Lambda, tooling
  • Bash/Shell – Linux administration, CI/CD scripts
  • Go – Cloud-native tools, Kubernetes operators
  • YAML/JSON – Configuration files, manifests
