DevOps has become a core component of software development and deployment. The goal of DevOps is to automate building, testing, deploying, and monitoring applications efficiently. DevOps engineers work with tools such as Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, and Terraform.

They create CI/CD pipelines to ensure smooth code movement from development to production environments. They also monitor system performance and resolve scalability issues. Knowledge of Linux, scripting, networking, and cloud platforms is essential for DevOps professionals.

The demand for DevOps engineers continues to grow due to cloud adoption and distributed application architectures. Companies value engineers who can ensure system stability, rapid deployment, and automated recovery processes.

Career progression includes SRE (Site Reliability Engineer), DevOps Architect, and Platform Engineer roles.
