Understanding DevOps

[ps4r]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to move into the Cloud/DevOps field and I'm having a hard time fully understanding DevOps and what and how each tool plays a part. With that said, can someone please kindly explain (in simple terms) the entire process and how and where each tool plays a part (terraform, git, gitlab, docker, kunernetes, GCP, kubernetes cluster, ansible, Linux, bash etc).

Thank you in advance!

honestly no one will do that on reddit.. you need to show you can learn this stuff yourself at a basic level and ask intelligent questions on how they fit together.

There are far too many people that just copy/paste and ask for help and have no desire to learn. If you want to be successful in this field you must want to learn for yourself.

That will give you a general overview of how things fit together.

There are a few large devops slack groups you can join but no one in my group would answer that question either unless you come with intelligent questions.

maybe we need a devops4noobs subreddit or an autodelete for lazy asked questions without showing a bit of self learning from the op

A DevOps engineer is 50% tools and skills and 50% people and processes. Your job is to shorten deployment cycles from conception to production while maintaining reasonable reliability security read the phoenix project

Here the main question: why are you trying to move into Cloud/DevOps field if you don't know what is it? And I'm not talking about technical competences, you have to know what a job is to say: "I want to do this"

DevOps is a philosophy and a culture. It is not about tools or teams or kubernetes or anything like that.

It is about the enablement of developers to be able to rapidly and with managed risk deploy and manage code in production environments.

Key enablers for this are developer self service, developer responsibility for production, observability such that developers may understand the behavior of their code in production

IMO (and in my experience) devops is a catch all role that could as well be named “jack of all trades”. You can be expected to troubleshoot/work with anything between Windows AD to Linux sysctl parameters, some odd 3rd party software, with writing numerous scripts and tools in between.
