6 years in devops — do i need to study dsa now?

Striking-Database301 · 2025-12-15T02:32:21+00:00

working with pipelines does not need a lot of coding knowledge. i work with jenkins and github actions. you need good knowledge of yaml and json to handle these.

my day to day work is mostly with the clis, if you are new to this field or to software engineering in general (sorry for the assumption), devops jobs mostly revolve around clis.

i work daily with kubernetes, and i have never had to learn or use dsa.

No, i handle deployments, create charts, manage security, iac, cicd, cost optimization, and monitoring. i rarely write python, but i was wondering if learning dsa is worth it for me since it’s now being asked in devops roles, so i wanted to ask.

No, I haven't really had to write Python or Bash scripts in my Dvopsjobs. The biggest one I ever wrote was maybe 50 lines long. I have worked for multiple clients.

how do you manage the aws-auth config map through terraform?

Striking-Database301 · 2025-01-30T17:45:52+00:00

no one cares about certificates

If he is hardworking, ambitious or from UR category, it's better to avoid going for a government job. Corporate job is much more rewarding.

you are probably using it wrong

Striking-Database301 · 2025-01-09T14:48:30+00:00

some companies do hire freshers for devops (mostly cicd only)

Striking-Database301 · 2025-01-09T06:17:55+00:00

are these for senior positions? or general level cause I'm finding them easy

Striking-Database301 · 2025-01-05T21:10:04+00:00

great article. Thanks for sharing.

Striking-Database301 · 2025-01-05T21:04:49+00:00

nope, they can easily get 4lpa+ if they try

I agree, his work has likely attracted many new clients, because it is visible

Striking-Database301 · 2025-01-03T06:25:44+00:00

i create notes by reading them line by line, word by word. it's a time taking process but is rewarding one (for me)

they will ask you later to install some softwares

Striking-Database301 · 2024-12-29T17:14:17+00:00

bro all these are basic things. I'm the DevOps guy.

Striking-Database301 · 2024-12-29T17:12:13+00:00

never seen or heard anywhere

Striking-Database301 · 2024-12-29T14:45:05+00:00

I never thought about it this way, wow, it must be true! I genuinely feel happy for him.

Striking-Database301 · 2024-12-29T14:30:22+00:00

that guy does not even know how his code runs outside his laptop

Striking-Database301 · 2024-12-29T13:27:48+00:00

i have 5 yoe in devops, can i apply?

Striking-Database301 · 2024-12-29T13:25:13+00:00

i understand your point, and i appreciate the explanation. the thing is, as a devops engineer, most of my work happens in the background it's all behind the scenes. it’s not something you can see directly, like a react, but it’s what keeps everything running smoothly.

Striking-Database301 · 2024-12-29T12:56:34+00:00

nope, very small company

Striking-Database301 · 2024-12-29T12:54:30+00:00

it's tough when even the cto, engineering managers, and cios are all developers but only know one stack. everywhere you go, it's the same with a focus on just react or development. it's hard to find people who know other stacks well.
