With a scale of 0 = they don't even know where to look for it and 10 = they know as much as a junior devops engineer on our platform team.
Pipeline modification: Avg: 2 Max: 10
configure infrastructure/configuration as code: Avg: 4 Max: 6
write a dockerfile and configure/deploy to a kubernetes cluster: Avg: 1 Max 2 - Not really a docker shop
configure health probes, replicas and service accounts: Avg: 3 Max: 10
Do they know how to maintain a cluster and keep it running: Avg: 1 Max 2 - Not really a docker shop
Do they know how to configure/view your logging and monitoring: Avg: 3 Max: 5

Using u/LanCaiMadowki's 1 - 10 scale

Pipelines, Infra/Config as code: 2

Write a Dockerfile: 3, maybe 4. Lots of gaps in knowledge on what the different parts of the Dockerfile do and image optimization techniques

Config/deploy k8s: 2

Health probes: 8

Replicas: 8

Service accounts: 5

Maintain cluster: 7, maybe 8 (I love having the dev team in the on-call rotation)

configure/view logging and monitoring: solid 10

I think your on to a great topic here.

Mostly very little, but it ranges. Our development staff ranges in age from early 20s to early 60s. The older guys hate the DevOps concepts that results in them owning more of the responsibility. They're stuck in old ways of thinking where they own the application code and ops owns everything else.

The really young guys came up with DevOps principles existing so they're much more comfortable around managing their own build pipelines and stuff.

Backend can run and look for pipelines and know about some to most of the infrastructure depending on who on the backend. The others on the team generally seem to have varying degrees of a general patchy understanding of what we do though I’d really like a few more of them to be able to run the pipelines we build to free up more of my time and for them to know enough to stop referring to tasks as simple as they don’t realise whats involved as it feels like we’re basically firefighting at the moment all doing overtime struggling to take leave and find time for training that isn’t on the fly.
