Excited to see Hypothetical hiring for DevOps! Do they require experience with containerization like Docker and Kubernetes?

Yes, they typically work with cloud-native technologies. Recently I heard they got funding for their new containers-as-a-service project.

Thanks, tech_expert! It's sometimes overwhelming to understand *which* technologies someone looking at DevOps engineering positions should really focus on. Any advice?

Hi newbie_coder, I'd recommend gaining a solid understanding of containers and, yes, Docker is a great place to start. From there, get some exposure to CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions and learn configuration management tools such as Terraform. Lastly, definitely learn Kubernetes as it's being widely adopted.

Spot-on, devops_pro! While working in DevOps, it's essential to keep up with the emerging technologies and get your hands dirty with different CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) tools and services. You'll never run out of exciting new things to learn!

I saw the job posting and it seems like they prefer people with familiarity in Terraform and CI/CD pipelines. Does anyone know more about their infrastructure?

While working with them, I observed that they use both Docker and Kubernetes extensively, and also rely on GitHub Actions for a lot of their pipeline work.

Same here, thanks for the insight, former_employee! I'm just starting to learn and practice DevOps, and Docker is in my current path. Maybe Kubernetes is the next tool I should explore.
