DevOps Engineer's Tech Stack
Version Control Systems (VCS):
Git: The industry-standard VCS for tracking code changes, enabling collaboration and
version history. Used by developers for code management.
Artifact Repositories:
Artifactory (Jfrog): A universal artifact repository for storing and managing software
packages across different build types.
Amazon S3 Bucket: A scalable object storage service on AWS for storing build
artifacts and static content.
Azure Blob Storage: Similar to S3 buckets, offering cloud storage for various artifact
types on Microsoft Azure.
Continuous Integration (CI):
Jenkins: An open-source automation server popular for building, testing, and deploying
applications.
GitHub Actions: Built-in CI/CD workflows directly within GitHub repositories for
streamlined automation.
Azure DevOps Pipelines: Microsoft's cloud-based CI/CD service for building and
deploying applications on Azure.
AWS CodePipeline: A managed service for building, testing, and deploying code on
AWS.
Continuous Delivery (CD):
Jenkins: (As mentioned in CI) Can be used for deployment automation as part of the
CI/CD pipeline.
Spinnaker: An open-source multi-cloud continuous delivery platform for deployments
across various cloud providers.
AWS CodeDeploy: A service for automated code deployments on AWS.
Azure DevOps Release Pipelines: Counterpart to CI pipelines in Azure DevOps,
focusing on the release and deployment stages.
Monitoring:
Prometheus: An open-source monitoring system for collecting and analyzing
application metrics.
Grafana: An open-source platform for visualizing metrics data collected by Prometheus
or other sources.
Datadog: A cloud-based monitoring and analytics platform for servers, applications,
and infrastructure.
AWS CloudWatch: A monitoring service for AWS resources, providing detailed insights
into performance and health.
Azure Monitor: Microsoft's monitoring service for Azure resources, offering similar
functionalities to CloudWatch.
Secret Management:
HashiCorp Vault: A tool for securely storing and managing sensitive information like
passwords, API keys, and certificates.
AWS Secrets Manager: A service for storing and retrieving secrets within AWS
environments.
Azure Key Vault: Microsoft's service for securing cryptographic keys and secrets used
by cloud applications and services.
Security:
Snyk: A developer security platform for identifying and fixing vulnerabilities in open-
source dependencies.
Aqua Security: A cloud-native security platform that protects applications and
infrastructure throughout the CI/CD pipeline.
AWS Security Hub: A central place to manage and view security findings from different
AWS services.
Azure Security Center: Microsoft's comprehensive security solution for Azure
resources, providing threat detection and vulnerability management.
Notifications:
Slack: A popular collaboration platform that can be integrated with various tools to send
notifications for build failures, deployments, and alerts.
Email: Still a common notification method for sending alerts and updates.
PagerDuty: An incident response and notification platform for DevOps teams to
manage alerts and escalations.
Logging:
ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana): A popular open-source platform for
collecting, analyzing, and visualizing log data.
Graylog: Another open-source log management platform that centralizes log collection
and analysis.
AWS CloudTrail: A service that logs AWS API calls, providing insights into user activity
and resource changes.
Azure Monitor Logs: A service for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing log data from
Azure resources.
Additional Tools:
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools: Technologies like Terraform or AWS
CloudFormation allow for defining and managing cloud infrastructure in code.
Configuration Management Tools: Tools like Ansible or Chef automate the
configuration management of servers and applications.
Containerization Technologies: Docker and Kubernetes are widely used for
containerizing applications and enabling portability across environments.
Strong Programming Skills: Proficiency in languages like Python, Ruby, Java, or Go
is essential for scripting automation, building CI/CD pipelines, and developing internal
tools.
