DevOps Skills Checklist
Assess your ability to build, deliver and operate a small service.
STEP 01
Code and collaborate
Use Git branches, meaningful commits and a pull request. Explain how a change is reviewed, tested and released. Be comfortable reading application logs and basic scripts.
STEP 02
Automate a repeatable workflow
Build a pipeline that runs checks and produces a repeatable application package. Keep secrets outside your repository. Document the steps for a new team member.
STEP 03
Operate the service
Add health checks, useful logs and a basic alert. Demonstrate how to diagnose an issue and roll back a change. Understand Linux processes, networking and container fundamentals.
STEP 04
Use gaps to choose training
Mark each area as observed, practised or demonstrated independently. Focus on foundations before advanced orchestration. Use the job matcher to compare this evidence with a specific vacancy.
