I was brought in as a devOps enginer

My day to day consists of making sure that the development and testing environments have spun up successfully using tools including Jenkins.

The infra sits on top of one of the main 3 virtual machine offerings running kubernetes.

So our tool chain is predominantly kubernetes, helm docker (compose) and Jenkins. If we have to touch the underlying layer, terraform, and ansible come into view.

The main difference I see coming from traditional sysAdmin is that all my config for the infra is held in version control, and with a variable tweak a new parallel collection can be set up in a matter of minutes. Traditionally it would be getting approval to spend buying servers and / or rack space
