Comment your salary and years of devops experience to get an idea

Hello community,

If there's anyone who is looking forward to learn DevOps/Engineering Practices in a structured manner, in 1 on 1 Setting or a small cohort based setting, feel free to let me know, will kick the initiative off if I find 5 people.

I am a Senior Engineer, and held a reputation of building startups from scratch for people in their initial stages in their 0-1, mostly have been on the side of their infra and architecture.
Now is the time to disseminate my learnings to new and upcoming engineers.

Things I want to teach,

1. Best engineering practices in upcoming times for corporate engineers.

2. Best Infrastructure practices for Tech Lead aspirants.

3. Leveraging automation engineering into their DevOps practices, (which I am currently learning as well).

and I am also open for ideas, but the focus group will be small. Won't keep more than 5 active learners.

Some companies rejected me as over qualified for 4.5LPA then what can I aim for ?

As I have been recently graduated and also had a course of AWS with devops practices such as docker teraform kubernetes and so on.

So for now I was searching for jobs and also I saw many openings but haven't applied yet because I don't think I am ready yet ( don't know why )

I have many questions on my mind giving me pressure 24/7

Can anyone aligned in this field help me out, are there jobs in this domain and will there be actual need for a cloud or devops eng after 4 - 5 years when ai will take over most of the domains. And for now how do I start my career in this field or also alongside i should learn anything that will help me for long term growth

Hey there everyone I am a Final year BTech student and I have various interest regarding career as a did cyber security for one year then full stack developer, devops , and now as a AI application developer

I just want to know that as a fresher what jobs or roles can we get my main interest is in Devops(still learning completely)

Drop your answers/ suggestions/ POV/ ideas/ experience....

I just entered my 4th year of CSE, and I'm feeling a bit confused about placements.

I'm interested in Cloud Computing and DevOps (AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Terraform, etc.), but the problem is that very few or no Cloud/DevOps companies are coming to my college for placements. Most of the companies are hiring for general Software Development roles.

I've already started building projects and learning DevOps, but I feel like I'm not able to study everything in depth because there are so many tools and technologies. Sometimes I spend hours trying to implement something, get stuck, and feel like I made no progress that day.

I have a few questions:

• If companies don't visit my college, where should I apply for Cloud/DevOps roles?
• Which platforms have the best opportunities for freshers? (LinkedIn, Wellfound, Naukri, Indeed, company career pages, etc.)
• Are there any companies that regularly hire freshers for Cloud/DevOps or SRE roles?
• What skills and projects actually make a resume stand out for these roles?
• How did you get your first Cloud/DevOps job as a fresher?

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have been in a similar situation. Any roadmap, resources, or job search strategy would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, as title says i am a student planning to deploy or emulate cloud infra in local device (computer)

WHY ??

I am learning AWS and my free tier is over and i need to build projects for my internship

SO, does building projects in local environment is considered in interviews ??

I have no idea what to do now , Suggestions are opened and appreciated

I'm curious how experienced DevOps engineers got started with freelancing or part-time consulting.

I currently work full-time as a DevOps engineer and have experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring, and cloud infrastructure. I'm not looking for job offers here—I want to understand how people successfully transitioned into freelance work.

Some questions I have:

• How did you land your first client?
• Did you use Upwork, Toptal, LinkedIn, personal networking, or something else?
• What services were easiest to sell when starting out?
• Did you build a portfolio, blog, GitHub projects, or open-source contributions first?
• How did you decide your hourly rate?
• What mistakes should someone avoid when starting?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences and what worked for you. Thanks!

I have 2.5 years of experience as a DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience across multiple production projects (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, Docker, Python, Linux, etc.).
I recently left my job because I felt I was significantly underpaid for the work and responsibilities I handled.
I’m aiming for high-paying product companies, fintech, banking, airlines, or other engineering-focused organizations.
My concern is that platforms like Naukri seem to anchor offers to my previous salary (around a 30% hike), which still leaves me underpaid.
For those who’ve successfully made this jump:
Where did you find the best opportunities?
Is there a better strategy than relying on Naukri?
How do you break free from salary anchoring based on your previous CTC?
I’d appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!

DevOps Engineers: Which companies are genuinely hiring right now? (No ghost jobs)

Many of us are applying to roles that never seem to get reviewed.

If you've recently:

• Had a DevOps/SRE interview
• Received a rejection (which means applications were actually reviewed)

Please share:

• Company
• Role (DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineer, etc.)
• Remote requirements (worldwide, specific time zones, etc.)
• How you know they're actively hiring
• Compensation: $0.0
• Current months

Hey everyone — before I sink into building this, I want to know if it's something you'd actually use or if I'm solving a problem only I have.

The idea: an open-source, self-hostable DevOps platform (think Dokploy-style dashboard) with its own CI/CD engine — not a wrapper around GitHub Actions — where an AI agent acts as your DevOps engineer.

The flow:

1. Login → connect GitHub (or GitLab), create a project
2. The AI scans your repo, asks you 2–3 questions (deploy target? env vars?), and builds the full pipeline in the dashboard — build, test, deploy stages. Nothing is pushed to your repo at this point.
3. Every pipeline includes mandatory security stages: secret scanning across all files (yes, including that API key you pasted into a .md file), dependency CVE checks, container image scanning. If it finds a leaked key, the pipeline halts and the AI opens a fix PR — removes the secret, moves it to the secret store, and reminds you it's still in Git history and needs rotating.
4. Only after the first pipeline run passes does it open one PR to your repo with all the generated files — Dockerfile, the pipeline config, deploy files — with the green run and staging URL linked as proof it actually works. Merge it, and from then on everything lives in your Git. Delete the platform tomorrow and you keep working configs.
5. After that it keeps working: failed builds get diagnosed in plain English with a fix PR instead of a red X and 4,000 log lines. Production incidents get a timeline, probable cause, and one-click rollback.

The parts I think this sub will care about:

• Fully self-hostable, single docker compose up, targeting a cheap VPS. Own runners — no GitHub Actions minutes, no Git-host lock-in
• BYO LLM key — Anthropic/OpenAI, or point it at local Ollama. No hidden inference bill; your code never leaves your box with a local model
• Zero lock-in by design: after the first successful run, every config (including the CI/CD definition) is committed to your repo
• The AI never touches prod without approval — everything is a PR or a gated action with a full audit log

I know Coolify and Dokploy exist (I use and like them) — they give you a dashboard and templates. This gives you an agent that reasons about your specific repo, enforces security by default, and maintains the setup over time. Closer to "a DevOps engineer that works for you" than "a deploy panel."

My questions for you:

1. Would the "proof-first PR" (config PR arrives only after a passing run) be enough for you to trust merging AI-generated configs?
2. Is the built-in secret/CVE scanning with auto-fix PRs genuinely valuable to you, or is that already covered in your setup?
3. Own CI/CD engine vs. wrapping GitHub Actions — do you care? Would you prefer your CI not depend on GitHub at all?
4. What's the first thing you'd be afraid it would break?

Brutal honesty welcome. If the answer is "nobody wants this," better to hear it now.

I have 6 + years of devops experience. 3 years in monitoring and 3+ in devops domain. Preset CTC is 13LPA. I'm planning to switch now, just curious what could be the package I might get?

Hi all, I need a little help from you guys, how we can transition from Customer support to devops engineer (not as fresher) I am already working in an IT company.

I have roadmap and everything I just need to know about resume and LinkedIn profile building.

Hi,

We're a team building an open-source AI tool. Right now, deployments are fully self-hosted, which is great for power users but a massive friction point for getting anyone else onboard.

We want to build a managed hosting layer where a user can simply log in, pick a hardware tier, and instantly get their own isolated, authenticated environment running the app. We have the core product handled, but infrastructure orchestration isn't our main focus, so we are looking for an expert to architect and build this piece from the ground up.

The main challenges are programmatic provisioning, handling the user lifecycle, and ensuring rock-solid data persistence so users never lose their state if a server goes down.

We aren't going to dictate the stack. We just need a pragmatic builder who can design a cost-effective, scalable, and future-proof solution without defaulting to massive cloud lock-in.

We have a fixed budget of $10,000 to $20,000 for the initial build, which we can break down into clear milestones. Once the MVP is live, we are hoping to keep you around to handle ongoing maintenance, scaling, and alerts. We can easily transition that into a monthly retainer or a revenue-share model once the platform starts generating MRR.

If a greenfield project like this sounds like fun, shoot me a DM. Just include a quick note on how you would roughly approach the architecture and your current availability.

Hey everyone,
I’m a Cloud/Platform Engineer with 3+ years of experience, mainly working with GCP (along with some DevOps/Platform Engineering). I’ve been trying to switch jobs recently, but despite applying to many companies, I’m barely getting interview calls. The market feels extremely competitive.
I still see a lot of openings for Cloud Engineers, DevOps Engineers, SREs, and Platform Engineers in India, but I’m wondering whether this demand is sustainable or just temporary.
With AI advancing so quickly, I’m confused about what the next 5–10 years will look like for cloud engineering. Should I continue building my career in cloud/platform engineering, start focusing heavily on AI-related skills, or prepare for CAT and aim for a top MBA? I also considered a Master’s abroad, but given the current job market and costs, I’m not sure it’s worth it.
For those with 5–15+ years of experience, what would you do if you were in my position today? Where do you see the best long-term career growth?
I’d really appreciate honest advice from people already working in the industry.

I graduated from Finance university and have some work experience. now i am switching my career into IT not because it is a trend because realized IT field is for me. what do you think? after having some experience can i apply for big tech companies or my path is wrong ? need you advice !!!

Hey! Started learning DevOps recently and honestly it's way more fun with people around than doing it alone.

If you're learning too (any stage, any course) — drop a comment, would love to connect and keep each other going. Sharing daily learnings, helping when stuck, that kind of thing.

Let's build something small together 🚀
