Welcome back,
DevOps is a combination of software development and operations. It is essentially a melding of these two disciplines in order to emphasize communication, collaboration, and cohesion between the traditionally separate developer and IT operations teams.
Akash Jain is a Devops engineer from India. He also was a tutor for Chegg.com but started tutoring on his own. Although we have never physically met, I decided to conduct a short interview with Akash Jain during this blog post to demonstrate his knowledge as a Devops Engineer. Akash is the best tutor I have had and he has a lot of knowledge across many subjects in the Information technology field such as Java and C++ Programming, Database Management and Discrete Structures.
During the interview conducted I asked Akash :
What does a Devops Engineer do ?
As a Devops Engineer my job is to ensure continuous integration and deploy of all the services developed in company. I do that using automation tools like chef, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes and cloud technologies like Amazon Web service and Google Cloud.
What inspired you?
I didn't choose this profession, the profession chose me. I wanted to be a software engineer or machine learning engineering but the requirements of company were different and I worked accordingly and things fell into place and enjoy the work that I do. It's the new things that I learn at work that inspire me to go to the office everyday.
How do you keeps your skills current ?
Devops is all about keeping yourself updated with the current technologies currently developing and I keep reading blogs and work with people working in big MNC's and observe their work which gives me insights on what I can change in my current implementations and do my work more efficiently.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I like to live in the present and I don't think much about the future. It may be taken as carelessness but in today's world everything is dynamic. I might not enjoy my work after sometime or may get interested in other field. Or it might be that I decide to have my own startup if I am with the right people. So it all depends on where I am, with whom I am and what work I am doing at that point to time.
Thank you so much Akash Jain for taking part in this interview! Also, if anyone reading this blog ever needs tutoring on the field of Information Technology, here is his contact information: akash.jain5587 @ gmail.com
