What Does a DevOps Engineer Do?
In short, a DevOps Engineer is someone who gaps the relationship between the operations role and the development role. That is to say, they are in charge of managing the relationship between the two departments. They are great communicators and technically strong. Moreover, they take the business needs and successfully integrate them into a solution. In addition, they must be able to bring the software engineers and the operations management team together to provide a successful solution for the business.
In summary, a DevOps Engineer stays between the development team and the deployment team. They ensure all the requirements are met before they release the solution.
