Continuous Integration (CI):

• Implement and manage CI pipelines to automate the building, testing, and packaging of software applications.
• Use tools like Jenkins, Travis CI, GitLab CI/CD, or Azure DevOps for CI.

Continuous Deployment/Delivery (CD):

• Set up and maintain CD pipelines for automated and consistent deployment of software to various environments.
• Implement blue-green deployments or canary releases for safe production updates.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC):

• Manage infrastructure using code, which allows for version control, consistency, and automation.
• Tools like Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, or Chef are commonly used.

Containerization:

• Create and manage Docker containers for packaging applications and their dependencies.
• Orchestrate containers using Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or other container orchestration platforms.

Version Control:

• Use version control systems (e.g., Git) to manage and track changes in code and infrastructure configurations.

Monitoring and Logging:

• Implement monitoring and logging solutions to gain insights into application and infrastructure performance.
• Utilize tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), or commercial solutions like New Relic.

Collaboration and Communication:

• Foster collaboration between development and operations teams by improving communication and sharing information.
• Facilitate cross-functional teams and DevOps culture.

Security and Compliance:

• Integrate security practices into the DevOps pipeline (DevSecOps).
• Ensure compliance with security policies and best practices.

Cloud Services:

• Work with public cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) to provision and manage infrastructure.
• Optimize cloud costs and resources.

Scripting and Automation:

• Write scripts (e.g., Bash, Python, PowerShell) to automate manual tasks and processes.
• Automate configuration management and application deployments.

Performance Optimization:

• Identify and resolve bottlenecks and performance issues in the software and infrastructure.

Disaster Recovery and Backup:

• Plan and implement disaster recovery strategies and backup solutions to ensure data integrity and availability.

Documentation and Knowledge Sharing:

• Maintain clear and up-to-date documentation of processes, configurations, and best practices.
• Share knowledge with team members and encourage learning and improvement.

Continuous Learning:

• Stay up-to-date with industry trends, new tools, and technologies related to DevOps.

• Resource Management: Create, configure, and manage Azure resources such as virtual machines, storage accounts, databases, networking components, and more.
• Identity and Access Management: Implement and manage user identities, authentication, and access control using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and role-based access control (RBAC).
• Security and Compliance: Ensure the security of Azure resources by implementing security policies, monitoring for threats, and applying security best practices. Manage compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Networking: Configure and manage virtual networks, subnets, VPNs, and firewall rules to ensure secure and efficient communication between Azure resources.
• Monitoring and Troubleshooting: Set up monitoring and alerting for Azure resources using Azure Monitor and Azure Log Analytics. Diagnose and resolve issues as they arise.
