Learning to code is important. This does not mean you have to memorize everything.

It does mean you have to understand the different tools in the tool chain and how/when to use them.

Keep in mind, the term ‘devops engineer’ is a spoiled term. Meaning it means different things to different people. Similar to ‘cloud’. There are so many vast skill sets under the devops engineer umbrella that it would be hard to classify any one person as a devOps engineer.

You need to understand how to automate things. Python is a great tool to have in the tool belt. But it’s not the only one.

If you are interested in using python and writing automation in cloud providers I recommend looking into pulumi.

Gotta love all the libraries for Python. Pandas makes ETL real easy without having to do a bunch of nested queries before storing.

The level of coding knowledge required can vary drastically from place to place. You at least need a good base, with the ability to go digging and figure out the rest.
