Devops Engineer Roadmap

 

1️⃣ Core IT & Linux Fundamentals (Foundation)

You cannot skip this. Strong DevOps = strong basics.

🔹 Linux

File system, permissions, users

grep, awk, sed, top, systemctl

Log analysis & troubleshooting

🔹 Networking

DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS

Load balancers, firewalls, ports

SSH, reverse proxy (Nginx)

🔹 OS & Infra Concepts

Virtualization vs Containers

Processes, memory, CPU

 

📌 Outcome: You can debug a broken server without panic.

2️⃣ Programming & Scripting (Automation Mindset)

DevOps is automation-first.

🔹 Must-Know

Bash – daily automation

Python – infra scripts, APIs

Git branching & PR workflows

🔹 Practice

Automate log cleanup

Script server health checks

 

GitHub + GitLab workflows

📌 Outcome: You automate boring work.

 

3️⃣ Cloud Computing (Choose One First)

Start with Amazon Web Services (maximum market demand), then expand.

🔹 Core Services

EC2, S3, IAM

VPC, Subnets, Security Groups

Load Balancer, Auto Scaling

🔹 Cloud Skills

Cost optimization

High availability design

IAM security best practices

📌 Outcome: You can deploy and secure cloud infrastructure.

 

4️⃣ Containers & Orchestration (Mandatory Skill)

🔹 Containers

Dockerfile

Images, volumes, networking

Multi-stage builds

🔹 Kubernetes

Pods, Deployments, Services

ConfigMaps, Secrets

Helm basics

📌 Outcome: You can run scalable microservices.

 

5️⃣ CI/CD Pipelines (Heart of DevOps)

🔹 Tools

Jenkins

GitHub Actions

GitLab CI

🔹 What to Build

Code → Build → Test → Deploy

Docker image creation

Auto-deploy to Kubernetes

📌 Outcome: Zero-touch deployments.

 

6️⃣ Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

🔹 Tools

Terraform

CloudFormation (AWS)

🔹 Skills

State files

Modules

Environment separation (dev/stage/prod)

📌 Outcome: Infra is version-controlled and repeatable.

 

7️⃣ Monitoring, Logging & Reliability

🔹 Monitoring

Prometheus

Grafana

🔹 Logging

ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana)

Alerts, SLOs, SLIs

📌 Outcome: You detect failures before customers do.

 

8️⃣ Security & DevSecOps (High-Value Skill)

🔹 Key Areas

Secrets management

Image scanning

IAM hardening

OWASP basics

🔹 Tools

Trivy

Vault

SonarQube

📌 Outcome: Secure pipelines, secure infra.

 

9️⃣ Real-World Projects (Non-Negotiable)

Without projects, DevOps resumes get rejected.

🔥 Must-Do Projects

CI/CD pipeline deploying Docker app to Kubernetes

Terraform infra for AWS (VPC + EC2 + ALB)

Monitoring stack with alerts

Blue-Green / Canary deployment

📌 Outcome: Interview-ready confidence.

 

🔟 Certifications (Optional but Powerful)

AWS DevOps Engineer – Professional

Kubernetes CKA / CKAD

Terraform Associate

 

⏳ Timeline (If Consistent)

Level    Duration

Basics + Linux               1 month

Cloud + Docker             2 months

Kubernetes + CI/CD   2 months

IaC + Monitoring          1 month

Projects + Interview Prep        1 month

Total: ~6–7 months (job-ready)

 

🎯 Salary Outlook (India)

Junior DevOps: ₹6–10 LPA

Mid-Level: ₹12–20 LPA

Senior / SRE: ₹25–40+ LPA
