Skills and topics in Cloud & DevOps

Cloud foundations

Describe the cloud services you used, networking and identity boundaries, and the trade-offs of the architecture; do not assume all cloud providers are interchangeable.

Infrastructure as code

Terraform experience may include reviewing changes, managing state, reusable modules and safe deployment processes.

Kubernetes and delivery

Kubernetes workloads require an understanding of Pods, deployments, service discovery, resource requests and rollout behavior alongside CI/CD.

Platform engineering

Internal platforms can offer paved paths for teams while retaining clear ownership, documentation and self-service boundaries.

Site reliability engineering

SRE practice includes observability, incidents, service objectives and balancing change with reliability.
