Starting my first mid-level role, moving on from junior - how should I prepare and what should I expect?

Recently interviewed for a mid level Site Reliability Engineer role, all went well and I’ll be hopefully starting in 2 months.

I’m currently a Cloud Engineer, specifically on the security team of the platform - so I’m very well versed with things such as GuardDuty, Config, CloudTrail etc - but lack skills and experience in core services such as EC2, ECS, Lambda etc.

I did mention this to them in the interview and they seemed very chilled out and accommodating about it, reassuring me that they’ll be hiring DevOps engineers of all ranges of skills, and don’t expect us all to know and use the same services, and that they’re comfortable in my ability to learn these other services as I already know how to use the security-based ones.

However - I am still nervous as I’m moving from a junior role into a mid level role, so I know the support I’ll have will be much less and I’ll need to be able to stand on my own two feet more.

I should also mention - my Python is pretty average, and my Terraform is probably below par. This is because where I currently work is huge, with 90% of our environments and infrastructure already built, meaning rather than building new things all we really do is maintain what we have by making small changes and additions. Meanwhile the place I’ll be joining is much smaller and will involve greenfield work (which is why I think this will be much more beneficial for me and my development, although I am however - still anxious).

What should I expect when moving from junior to mid-level? And how can I prepare/upskill myself?

How do I become a truly good DevOps/Cloud/etc. engineer?

A while ago I posted on this sub talking about my struggles as a junior at work and that I wasn’t learning much, documentation sucked, I couldn’t get a hold of seniors/mids for help and the fact that my team and managers has had a lot of turnover.

Since then I’ve been assigned a new manager and while he has his flaws in my view he has been a massive help in developing me further. A lot of this is also because he is newer to learning things in our tech stack but obviously his 20 YoE makes him pick it up much much faster than someone mg age and thus it’s like a learning experience for both of us.


Before my last post I was at best fulfilling smaller tickets like creating new projects, namespaces, etc. requests that our customers needed. Since then though I’ve been involved in diagnostic work on our systems, built multiple clusters including production ones, improving documentation, demoing our systems for customers, integrating other tools with our systems involving teams in other countries, and also have been asked for help with finding a few some solutions by the mid level developers and did so successfully.

I’m glad I’ve stuck it out because I’m enjoying the work and learning but I really want to take the next leap into becoming a good or great engineer. How can I do that? I’m already ahead of schedule on my objectives for promotion this year to a mid level role from my manager.

One thing I’m worried is that while I’ve learned a lot about some things there are other tools or stacks that I barely use even though they’re integral to our systems. Basically I’m worried that my knowledge is very surface level?

Do I need both Terraform and Ansible?

I started using Terraform to provision infrastructure on Microsoft Azure resources. Some of these resources are virtual machines. I then need to do configuration management on the virtual machines, to install software dependencies, create user accounts, and enable ssh access on the virtual machines.

It wasn't clear to me how to do the configuration management (software installs and user accounts) with Terraform. I asked chatGPT and it suggested I needed to use Anisble or Puppet to configure the machines. Upon further investigation it seems that Terraform has some like 'ssh providers' that can be used to do the configuration management. It also seems that Ansible can be used to provision cloud resoures on Azure.

So now I am confused and need community best practices opinion. Can I use one tool for both provisioning and configuration management? do I need to use both? What are other people doing?

Top 10 Interview Questions for DevOps Engineer

1. What is DevOps, and why is it important? Can you explain the key principles of DevOps?
Explanation:
This might be the first question after your introduction. You don’t have to memorize the long and boring paragraph on Wikipedia. Instead, try use an example to explain how DevOps approach helps on the software development lifecycle. Regarding the key principles, you don’t have to explain them in details here since this will be across the whole interview process and asked in the following questions.
Example Answer:
DevOps is a software development methodology that emphasises collaboration and communication between development teams and operations teams to improve the speed and efficiency of software delivery.
Imagine a software development team works separately from operation team. Every time, when the code is handed off to operation team, miscommunication and delays happens. It might cause slow deployment or deployment failure. With DevOps approach, where development and operational teams work together throughout the entire software development lifecycle, code can developed, tested, and deployed more quickly and frequently. Also, with DevOps approach, the whole team can focus more on the scalability of the system, building better monitoring and logging solutions, etc.
The key principles of DevOps I think includes:
\- Collaboration and communication which ensures everyone of the team is aligned and work towards a common goal.
\- Continuous integration and delivery automate the software delivery process and ensure the changes are tested before being deployed to production
\- Infrastructure as Code can help the team automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure resources, and make it easier to manage and scale complex environments.
\- Monitoring and feedback which could continuously optimise the reliability and performance of software system.


2. What are some of the tools and technologies commonly used in DevOps?
Explanation:
This question is used to check your knowledge base and your experience as a DevOps engineer. No one could master all the tools but you should know what essential skills are required for a DevOps engineer. You can check out this article — <How to Become a Cloud DevOps Engineer #Skills You Need> which covers all the technical skills required. Finally, you just need to explain the tools you have used in each domain and make sure you let the interviewer know you are a fast learner.
Example Answer:
As a DevOps engineers, I have used quite a lot of different tools.
For the cloud platform, I have 2-year experience on AWS and I have built multiple systems based on different AWS services such as EC2, ALB, CloudFront, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, RDS, ElasticCache, SQS, etc and I also have some experience on Microsoft Azure but not good as AWS.
I am familiar with Linux as I had been a system administrator for more than 3 years.
For the version control system, I use Git quite a lot and I have experience on Github and Bitbucket. Our team is following the industrial standard to manage the code.
I have been using Docker quite a lot and deployed many containerised applications on AWS ECS. Also, I am learning Kubernetes and preparing for the CKA exam.
Regarding CI/CD, I use Github Actions quite a lot as it provides great flexibility to our systems across different cloud platforms. I also know Jenkins and AWS Code Build and Code Pipeline as I have done some small projects with them.
For IaC, I use Terraform a lot also because we have used multiple cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure and GCP.
For monitoring and logging, I usually build the logging solution natively on the cloud platform such as CloudWatch on AWS and Azure Monitor on Azure. I can also use tools like Grafana, Splunk and Data Dog.
Overall, every tool has its own pros and cons. As a DevOps engineer, I enjoy learning new tools and I can select appropriate tools and technologies for different projects and as far as I could

say, they are all working well.
3. What is the role of automation in DevOps?.

Next step after learning the fundamentals?

I've read the recommended books (phoenix project, devops handbook, google sre) and spent a lot of time learning Python, Git, Linux, Networking, and AWS. Have done some projects as well. I'm applying to dev/sysadmin jobs but in the meantime I'd like to know what else I should focus on for employability and the ability to differentiate myself as a junior.

The following tools appear to be the most popular (in my region as well), but I'm wondering which ones I should learn first and in what order? I have read many older posts and reviewed a couple of roadmaps and based on this, here is what I came up with:

1. Docker
2. Kubernetes
3. Terraform
4. Ansible
5. Gitlab CI

Any tips or suggestions if this is the right way to go, or if I should prioritize one thing over another, or reorder it?

When do you work on projects/trainings do you configure stuff locally or in cloud?

I was wondering how you guys are approaching things in this matter.

Azure Postgres vs Postgres on Kubernetes?

I am using Azure Postgres Flexi server for hosting multiple Postgres databases but the costs are spilling over the budget. Is there any mature and reliable Postgres operator for Kubernetes.

I have an AKS cluster and would like to run the Postgres workloads there if it helps me save costs.

I would like to know any considerations or issues faced by members of this community.

Career guidance

I have been working as a DevOps professional for the past 8 years . According to the DevOps Roadmap listed on https://roadmap.sh/devops, I am proficient in all areas except coding. In my role some tasks of scripting and automation require basic coding skills. Whenever I am tasked with scripting, I rely on my logical thinking and refer to documentation and examples to successfully complete most of the tasks.

I have a strong grasp of Linux troubleshooting and web hosting. In terms of networking, I have a basic understanding of how things work and can set up configurations at the cloud level or in small intranet setups (if that is considered). I am able to write Dockerfiles, set up Docker Compose or ECS configurations, and establish CI/CD pipelines. While I have some knowledge of Kubernetes, my hands-on experience with it is limited due to my previous work experience.

I am experienced in setting up monitoring systems using Prometheus, ELK stack, and have a good understanding of IaC (Infrastructure as Code) with tools like Terraform. It's important to note that my experience is primarily focused on AWS cloud services.

Regarding coding skills, I would like to know how much coding knowledge is expected in a typical DevOps role. Am I lacking in this area, or is my level of coding proficiency considered normal? Additionally, I would appreciate any suggestions on areas where I may be lacking or improvements I can make.

Let me know guys if you need more information

Pause GCP nigtly

I wrote a tool for pausing some resources in GCP. This tool is aimed at saving infrastructure costs nightly.

This tool also helps you refresh your preemptible cluster to prevent GCP from revoking vm during working hours.

Why use Cloudformation when there are tools like terraform?

Just curious. With terraform you can organize your code in version control, use variables, re-use certain code etc, so my question is why do people still use Cloudformation? Is there something I don't know about Cloudformation's best practices that would make it more appealing than terraform?

From Ops to Dev for a change: What language / framework to learn?

I got into DevOps from the ops side, doing mainly Ansible / Terraform / AWS / Gitlab CI with scripting, internal tooling and APIs in Python (and Bash if necessary). My company has recently offered me to extend my position to at least assist on the application dev side. This is of course beneficial for professional development in general.

However, I'm unsure which direction to go in as we have both backend and frontend positions available. We mainly do custom webapps for other companies' internal processes, usually with a PHP backend using Laravel (+Nova) and Next or Nuxt frontend. Node backends are used very rarely.

The more straightforward route would be to go into backend development - I've used PHP for some smaller things and it seems easy enough to learn, as does Laravel, whereas I have zero experience or contact with frontend development. I would likely get fairly proficient fairly quickly, and our best devs (also the ones that I have the best rapport with) are all more focused on backend which would help me learn.

However, it seems to me that Javascript (+ Typescript) would be more useful to learn than PHP.

- For one thing, it's more commonly used for glue code (e.g. Cloudfront functions only being available in JS), is far more commonly an option for tooling (e.g. Pulumi) and seems to have very influential syntax / concepts.
- Secondly, it'd allow me to use Node.js as a Python backend alternative - not sure how that compares to PHP locally (Germany) but it's at least not objectively terrible.
- And thirdly, it would allow me to write actually user-friendly frontends for our own internal tooling myself instead of having to book developer time and handling too much in the backend.

The only frontend dev that I had closer contact with unfortunately just left, though, and many of the others are juniors and don't seem to have such great practices. So the learning curve would be much steeper and more reliant on outside resources. I also have no inherent interest on whether something is five pixels to the left or right on iOS vs Android.

I don't think going fullstack in addition to the ops side is a realistic option.

Which option would you choose?
