Core skills include cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), CI/CD pipeline management (Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions), container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible), scripting (Python, Bash), and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack). Security-focused DevOps (DevSecOps), compliance knowledge, and experience with microservices architectures are highly valued.
