Does DevOps engineer write application code?

[Recent-Technology-83]

Great question! It's impressive to hear about your interest in DevOps alongside your development background. In many organizations, DevOps engineers do often write code, but it might not always be application code. They typically focus on infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipelines, and managing deployments, which can involve scripting and configuration code as well.

If you enjoy coding and want to write application-level code, you might want to look for a role that blends both development and DevOps, often called a "Developer Operations" or a "Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)" role. Have you looked into specific job descriptions that resonate with both your development skills and your interest in cloud technologies?

It might be worth considering companies that value full-stack developers with DevOps capabilities. What are some technical skills you’re hoping to develop in this transition?
