My life as a DevOps Engineer | What I Do As An Engineer 

Glad you all are liking the video! If you want more info on how to get into DevOps and Infrastructure Engineering as a beginner, check out my newest video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6IfRG80KRIY.html

I'm a recruiter for these types of jobs within a tech company and you just explained it 100% better than any Director of DevOps i've ever worked with haha. Bravo!

I'm a DevOps engineer as well! I'm about 3 months in at this point, it hasn't clicked for me just yet but I'm dedicated to learning everything I can! Glad to know I'm not the only black female in this subfield!

It really is challenging describing what "DevOps" is. I think you did a good job. It also sounds like you work at a great place, I'm happy for you because that is really important for proper growth. Keep it up!

You Go Girl, My PhD is in Business/ Spec. Information Technology , with numerous Certifications mandated by my University, I decided to go into AWS Pro. DevOps Engineering. I completed my Certification last month. Now I’m practicing interview question to secure my first Gig.

This is exactly what I did at my IT Operations internship I loved the DevOps aspect of it. It bridged the gap between all the IT teams.

This is literally the best on DevOps I found on YT. Thank you.

Great work! So pumped to see another woman in the DevOps field, I started my own journey about a year and a half ago now. Just recently decided to create my own channel to provide more educational material related to our industry. Looking forward to your next video!

Awesome video! I am a fullstack engineer who is now trying to get into devops! This helps a lot! Awesome content! keep 'em coming!

Yessss! My company is so male dominated, i work 100% with men on my DevOps team. But I'm very happy seeing this subfield diversify. I know it will only make our team think more outside of the box and be successful.

I'm really Inspired by you Sosa, truly you've given me more reason to stay focus and keep learning and I also admire how you break down the definition of devops as a practice not a technology as most people get confused with. You’re Amazing. I can't believe i am watching this video 4 years after you posted. I'm from a non IT background i took a bootcamp for devops so far i have learned alot and i wanna keep learning. Thank you Sosa

This is so interesting, I truly enjoy your way of expressing what you do for a living with your career... Since deciding that I want to have a career change, you are the first candid person with a great personality that makes me eager to pursue this field now more than ever... I'm a older WOC and hoping to get into this field soon... Listening to you makes me feel like I can really get into this field and really love it.. Great job, on telling and helping us understand what it's like in the CS career!.. May God bless you continually!

Wow 2 minutes in and you answered my question i was coming to ask lol...I needed to know that as a devops engineer i would not necessarily the person who needs to know how to build the calculator.

This was awesome! I've been trying to get into the cloud and browsing to see what really a devops engineer actually works on and what is it that is really needed. You explained CICD perfectly and reinforced what I've been learning with AWS. Also it tells me I need to work on writing my code a lot better ;D

Hi Sosa, I'm from Malaysia and just want to thank you for the sharing. I'm just starting in this DevOps field with no experience and came from a business background in my college. Wish me luck in pursuit this career and wish to be as good as you are one day!

Hi hun! I love your channel! I’m going back for a BS in computer science this fall! I already have a BS in psychology that I got a few years ago and decided to go back because I wanted a career change that was challenging (I’m almost 28). I’m a black woman and it’s SOOO NICE to see someone that looks like me doing this!

Just to let you know you're dope. Continue doing this! I love seeing all my people in tech!

Amazing, thank you for sharing. I was just looking for personal experience on DevOps.

I am so glad to finally found a video that says what ACTUALLY ISSSSSS DEVOPS people usually say just what it looks like and you went deeper in this topic

The way you explained this is really great. The analogy is a basic as possible and very straight forward. You took away most of my confusion. Thanks a lot for this.

Cool video! I'm considering a transition into a DevOps Engineering role, after a long career in Web Development. This helped to solidify what DevOps actually is or matched up with some of the ideas I had about the subject. Thanks again!

This is well broken down and I understood it in as little time possible...I have see other videos people just walk,talk,drink coffee and eat pizza I don know whats the meaning of that from work perspective.

Thx much for sharing, just stumbled on your channel because Iam beginning to prepare for DevOps interviews. Truth is I don't feel qualified because I don't code, got my certification in AWS and have learned some DevOps tools, so I want to give it a shot though I lack the hands on. Watching this first video of yours has given me great insight, will keep watching. 😊

I really like the way you explain what you do. It's really insightful and easy to understand!

From all the introduction to what DevOps engineer does, yours was one of the best(est) - DevOps varies so much as you said, and your video seemed really genuine and realistic. It was nice to watch it, and thanks for sharing :)

Great explanation of this Role! Thx you

Thank you! Sounds very similar to what I did when I designed firmware… and i never could quite explain to people what firmware is…but running thousands and thousands of iterations to try and break it was fun!

I'm a Unix SysAdmin who was looking into moving into DevOps and I appreciate the breakdown in this video. Thank you and keep up the great work!

This is really amazing ..I soon want to start my career as a DevOps engineer

I would be starting my career as a devops straight out of college.This helps me a lot

I’ve been thinking about the potential of moving from my System Administration job in to DevOps and this is one of very few videos on RU-vid that actually explains what the job actually IS quite clearly. Thanks.

I love the details on this video. Many of you are mostly my reason of switching from Political Science to a BSCS or BSIS course!

5 minutes in....Loving this explanation so far! You are great.

this sounds sooo cool! to have such a macro view of the work. i'm also realizing the importance of having managers that really care about and want to invest in you, and dope to know it's possible!

very informative thanks! I kind of knew that devOps was a thing, but I didn't know that it was an actual job to itself until recently.

Thank you so much for sharing! I really like your view on DevOps, given it changes so much from company to company!

I have been trying to figure my next step in IT and devops is talked about everywhere without explaining what it is. Is it a management, person or a team? This was an awesome explanation. You did a great job not regurgitating what the text book says. I have been searching for a good answer for a month and you connected the dots perfectly. I still don't know what I want to do but I can ignore devops for now.

Happy to see this. I do the same thing at my job.

I enjoy your content! Thank you for sharing this!

Great job Sosa for precisely explaining about DevOps role and your day to day work as part of your role. I can relate that I too worked on some areas of DevOps however there wasn't much development work. My role was more of a Operations and Support on the application side. And running the Jenkins build, pushing developer's change into Git and releasing the stuffs into production was part of my role. I would be happy if you could share some tips on what to expect on the DevOps interview.

Thanks for a very Real No-fluff video filled with valuable nuggets of information!

Very well explained on devops architecture. I'm practicing devops skill currently let's see how it goes🤜🤛

Hi Sosa, i recently got an internship offer to be on the DevOps team for a massive company. I'm still fresh out out college. I have close to zero experience or knowledge on DevOps. I just decided to browse my way through at least to know the basics before I kick off by Monday. I stumbled upon your video which is really amazing and exactly what I needed. Just found out that I'm beginning just like you did. I really enjoyed the video, I played back in some places to get some points stuck in my head, I have experience in software engineering so most concepts were not too strange. I have subscribed to your channel and I really want to follow you through at what you do. I really believe I will learn a lot from you. I'm Somto by the way and I will love to connect with you beyond social media. I strongly believe someday, I will put up contents like this on my page too. Thank you Soo much. Really sorry for the long comment 😃. I'm just excited 😃😆😂

Super helpful video. Thank you! Hearing about your work on the priority queue is interesting. Also, I can definitely relate to having variety in what you do and being able to take the initiative to create tools that will help your team.

Thank you! Really detailed video 😚

Great Video. I'm trying to make my way over to DevOps from the Network Admin world. Especially AWS. Thanks for sharing.

Nice save on the explanation of priority builds haha. But this was a great video!

Great video! I'd love to get into DevOps.

Amazing video. Vulnerable + Informative. OG :D

Very inspiring thank you

I start a DevOps position Monday and you helped ease my worries..only a bit though lol.

thank you !!

this video is so helpful since I will be applying to this job for DevOps engineer :) tnx!

Awesome! You killed it

Yay, a clear and real interpretation of DevOps

Thank you for sharing .God bless you!!

Thank you for The video it really helped me . Hi form Turkey 🙃

keep it up, love from Portugal

So I haven’t declared a major yet. I am worried about math. Were you good at math? How did you handle that part of the computer science major? Also side note I’ve been in school for so long having a hard time picking a major. I can’t get into the engineering program so I decided maybe I should try computer science. Can you make a video somewhere along the lines of, how one would know if computer science is not or is the right field for someone? I’m interested in engineering things, inventing things, science but I also love managing and being in my feet. I fear that computer science might not be for me. The thing that I’m almost worried about is math.

Really a nice Video, Many Thanks

I have been looking for a video like this. thanks for sharing. can you also do a video on what the operations team do as DevOps engineers please

Straight out of coding bootcamp .. Literally was looking for a front end role , i was asked to interview for a devops position.. which i had no knowledge about .. i start sept 1st 😭

Really good informative video!

Question: I'm about to start taking a devops course (git, jenkins, maven....). While I'm doing that, I'll be learning how to use aws cloud service. After these two courses, I'm going to take the aws devops certification. What are my chances of getting a job as a devops guy without any IT work experience?

Thanks for explaining this

What is the difference between DevOps and QA Engineer? I’m a software QA engineer, but offered a role as a Senior DevOps Engineer Lead. Needless to say, I rejected because I did not feel ready at all

This is amazing!!!!!!!!!

Hello, Sosa, I've been building front-end with React and apps with React Native also doing some backend staff for over a year, i like it so much, and couple days ago one big international company invited me to Junior DevOps position, will be glad to hear your opinion, will i like it like front/app/back-end development or should i just keep doing what i do?

Im in class for dev ops now. 😊

I learnt all devops tool I have applied for job but not even getting a call so depressing 😭😭😭😭

I love your manager lucky you.

I’m fascinated about how you are a part of a strong team, what do I have to do to be a devops engineer?

devops is a new term for Site Reliability Engineering.

Hi Sosa, you did a great job breaking down the whole DevOps, and the teams as well. Great job!!. I just have a question regarding git branching, code review. From what I got from you, seems like code review occurs after the build takes place and it runs without fail in the testing environment. Is that always the case, or can code review and merging also happen before it is ever build? Please clarify my doubts. Thanks

Hi Sosa, how are you doing , I just got a chance to watch your video it was so informative and help full for me as I have a plan of switching my role form QA to Devops eng , can you please tell me what are the daily challenges that we get to to face in our daily routine as a Devops Eng and also which one is the best suite for Cloud Azure or AWS

Hi lovely video how often do you have to code ? Still learning ..and the algorithm you spoke about how do you implement that ? Do you write a code in JSON ? Python? And how do you practically ..like implement it to help sort builds.. Ive built pipe lines before CI/CD process and what not, but that’s not a production environment just practicing did you have to learn groovy language ?

This was such a cool video to watch. So I actually find a lot of similarities in what you're doing to my job. A Shopify development team hired me to be a project manager. I've never been a project manager but was more a tech virtual assistant. Anyway I'm this middle man between dev and ops. That being said, I'm not nearly as involved with code and with the higher technical things that you're dealing with. Nor am I a developer (or want to be). I'm sort of wondering where I go to improve on this position... whether that be learning code or.. ? Any suggestions?

Thank you so much for this input! I know I’m replying late but I’m currently a rising senior in high school and am looking into going into this field. Is there any majors you recommend or would computer science be the best one. Also, what languages and other tools do you recommend to be even more prepare than other by the time I graduate college.

Any tips for a guy who got his computer science degree 13 years ago but decided to enlist in the military? I'm thinking about getting back into coding and I want to get into DevOps.

Hey Sosa, loved this video. Thanks for sharing your journey, it’s really inspiring. I have a question... can you give some interview tips for someone who just got started and desire to get a devils job? I just got my aws Devo’s certification and I’m looking for my first job.

What do you think are the pros and cons of working in dev ops? I heard from some people it’s a chill job and I’m in healthcare looking to get into tech

Great video.

Iam refugee and my English is not like 100 percent what do you think I can start? Your answer is very important for me

Can you recommend a starting point or a roadmap for aspiring dev ops engineer? Thanks in advance

Hi Sosa. I've been big fan of your channel and the content you put out for a while now. I'm currently in the process of beginning my DevOps journey and will like your suggestions on a good online learning platform to start from. Thanks. Also, considering that you have hands on industry experience in this field, I will be more than grateful if you can take me on as a mentor on this journey; that will really mean so much to me. Thanks again.

should I start as a developer and then make my way towards devops engineering? or can I become a devops engineer without going the full stack developer route?

Greeting and thanks. Please suggestions of places we may apply. Thank you in advance.

can you plz explain more about tools used in devops and how are project done

I don't know where to start from I'm trying to learn on my own I'm a newbie and I'm black female single mom so I'm like am I smarter enough to do this so thank you for these videos 😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏but I'm starting to learn Python

Hi!!!! I have an internship coming this summer. The internship is devops. What should i brush up on to prepare myself? It sounds like stacks, queues and sorts?

Hi! Sosa i will love to meet you 😊

hi ....basically what are the devops tools that you use for your pipeline projects

Great presentation. Quick question. Do you have to always come up with new codes written from scratch every single time or you can just modify preexisting ones? Thanks!

Hi Sosa, hope you remember the chat. I am working as a support guy in IT mainly on Jenkins job, shell scripting writing. I want to completely move to Devops but I scared as if I some how got the job and didn't able to make it there then? I like automation using shell scripting, Angular code, Jenkins. I am self learning kubernates and Docker. Could you help counseling me. Guide me that how should I enhance mine developing as well as Devops skills. What projects should I made?Is moving to Devops do I need to be good in Development part too.

Hi @Sosa, love the video and explanations! I'm a mid-level DevOps Engineer (more specifically in "Linux") myself had now 3,5 years of DevOps experience, but still feel like I'm a Junior in it most of the time :/ What is your approach or method on troubleshooting issues? I still have not yet developed a method of my own, but can still extrapolate reasoning on how or why an issue has occurred or reverse engineer issues by reproducing the issues in order to fix them. Would love to hear or your thoughts on how you solve specific issues! Thanks in advance! :)

So would you say the Devops Engineer is like the "middle man" within software tec?

so after finishing my Devops engineer course, should I start looking for jr Devops engineer positions?

I’ve started my coding journey, still in college at the moment. I’m hoping to get an internship this summer, but so far it’s looking like it’s highly unlikely. I’ve applied to 15+ places, still haven’t heard anything back or they reject me without giving me an interview. How can I get experience without having experience ? I know my resume isn’t as thick as others, but I’m not even getting a chance. Where can I start? I need some guidance please. So far I’ve been learning HTML/CSS, Python at the same time. Feeling overwhelmed because How can I remember it all?

Would you mind giving us a detailed example of any one of the projects you do..?

Please what cream do you use, your hands are so soft and fresh. I wpuld love to buy it... the whole time you were speaking, l couldn't take my eyes off your hands lol... great presentation... 👍👌
