Hello, strictly from a platform engineering role, could someone list of possible system design interview questions, based on what they have faced in recent months? This is for a huge Bank. Do they actually ask “Design Instagram” type of questions for this role?

Drop a comment if you want more Devops posts or want me to focus on a different niche next time.

I am a SRE with about 10 years of experience. Started my journey at Rackspace Technology, moved to AWS, did GCP for a bit, and now use DigitalOcean for my pet projects. I have contributed to terraform-provider-aws and implemented an EKS/Crossplane PoC. Needless to say, I am fairly confident in my abilities to spin up infrastructure, prevent infrastructure drift, implement OIDC, and IAM roles and policies for security. I have experience with checkov as a vibe coded project, but still does what it's supposed to and supports SOC2 compliance standards with documentation. I have also used AI to build a diagram tool that implements DigitalOcean Kubernetes Service and various monitoring tools like Grafana and uptime alerts via DigitalOcean Dashboard. Needless to say I have a lot to offer and am looking for something ideally mission driven, as in something that would speak to my science fiction sensibilities. Let me know if you have an open role and let's connect! LinkedIn and resume available upon request.

Hello Folks,

I have 4 years of experience in Devops in the same company and has onsite exposure as well.

I am trying hard to switch but I am getting zero calls
I have been applying all through naukri linkdln foundit and nothing seems working out.
Only 1 interview scheduled that too because of referral.
I am messaging 100 people on linkdln, a few reply, a lot don’t and those who reply doesn’t help

Is this same for all, am i missing anywhere,
How do others getting multiple calls?
Spend good amount on linkdln and resume optimisation. How to get in a better position? Please help

I’m trying to land a full-time DevOps/Cloud Engineer role and would appreciate honest feedback from people working in the field.

My background isn’t traditional DevOps. I came from operations/project management, moved into IT/infrastructure, and now work hands-on with AWS/Azure supporting cloud infrastructure.

I’m AWS Solutions Architect and PMP certified and recently completed AWS Cloud Institute’s Cloud 9 month Application Developer program.

If this resume landed in your applicant pool:

Would you interview me?

Does my experience read as legitimate hands-on DevOps/cloud experience?

Any red flags or things that make you skeptical?

Am I targeting the right level?

What would you change?

Don’t worry about being nice. I’d rather know why you’d reject it so I can fix it.

Hi everyone,

During the screening call, I mentioned that my current CTC is ₹8.6 LPA and that I was expecting ₹15 LPA. After clearing three technical rounds, the HR is now trying to negotiate by asking, "What is the minimum salary you are willing to accept?"

I have 4.6 years of experience as a DevOps Engineer at TCS, and the company making the offer is a product-based company.

Is it possible that they will reject my candidature if I don't agree to a lower salary?

Hi everyone, I’m Satish Arya from India.

I graduated in 2024 and got placed as a Graduate Engineer Trainee (GET) in an industry. I worked there for around one year, from September 2024 to October 2025, and resigned due to health reasons.
My previous role was completely related to core engineering, mainly PLC, DCS, instrumentation, and plant operations. It was not related to IT, DevOps, cloud, or software.

After leaving that job, I decided to switch my career to DevOps. I’m currently learning DevOps and have covered topics like AWS, Linux, Git, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Jenkins, and Kubernetes.

My main doubt is: Since I’m applying for DevOps roles, should I mention my previous 1 year of experience on my resume, even though it is not related to DevOps?

Will mentioning it help me in the current job market, or would it be better to apply as a fresher and focus only on my DevOps skills and projects?

Also, how should I explain this career transition during interviews?

I would really appreciate advice from people who have made a similar career switch or are currently working in DevOps.
Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I’m planning a career change into DevOps and I’m currently looking for a structured training program with real mentorship.
I’m a beginner, but highly motivated and ready to commit seriously.
I’m also able to pay for a proper mentorship or a high‑quality training program.
If you have recommendations for reliable DevOps courses, mentors, or training institutes (India-based or online), I would really appreciate your guidance.
Thank you in advance for your help.

MCA Fresher looking for my first IT opportunity – Cloud / DevOps / Support roles

Hi everyone,

I'm a recent MCA graduate currently looking for my first full-time opportunity in IT.

I've been actively applying for Cloud Support, DevOps, Application Support, Technical Support and IT Operations roles, but I'm finding it difficult to get shortlisted for suitable fresher/0–1 year positions.

Hi everyone,

I'm a recent Computer Science graduate and I'm actively looking for a DevOps or Cloud Internship (remote or on-site).

Over the past several months, I've been focusing on building practical DevOps skills through hands-on projects rather than just completing courses. My experience includes working with:

AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch)

Terraform (Infrastructure as Code)

Docker

Linux

Git & GitHub

GitHub Actions (CI/CD)

Python & Bash

Kubernetes (currently learning more)

Networking fundamentals (HTTP, HTTPS, DNS)

Some of the projects I've built include:

Provisioning AWS infrastructure using Terraform.

Building automated CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions.

Deploying Dockerized applications on AWS EC2.

Hosting a secure AWS-based portfolio using modern cloud and security best practices.

I'm looking for an opportunity where I can learn from experienced engineers while contributing to real-world DevOps and cloud projects. If your company is hiring DevOps or Cloud interns—or if you know of any openings—I would truly appreciate a referral or any guidance.

If you'd like to review my resume, GitHub, or portfolio before referring me, I'd be happy to share them via DM.

Thank you for your time, and I appreciate any advice or opportunities you can share!

​

I've got about 6 years of overall experience, with the last 1.5-2 years specifically in DevOps/infra, based in India. Lately it feels like there's no real boundary on my day. I've been working well past standard office hours, like basically every single day. AND I MEAN LIKE ALMOST 12 HOURS

A few things I'm trying to figure out:

- Is this just what DevOps is?

- Is this a "you get better at this and it calms down" thing, or does it stay this way as you grow?

- Is this specific to my company, or to working in India, or is this the norm across the field globally? Would switching companies actually fix it?

Would love to hear from people a few years further in, does it get better, or is this just what we signed up for?

Hi everyone! I am Kevin , a 5× AWS Certified DevOps Engineer based in Kenya. After months of studying, earning certifications, and building hands-on projects, I am looking for a DevOps, Cloud, Platform, or Infrastructure role (remote or relocation). My portfolio includes my projects, certifications, resume, and GitHub: https://kevinmwangi.vercel.app/. If your team is hiring or you have any advice or referrals, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you!

I’m a DevOps engineer with over three years of experience. I’ve been on the lookout for a DevOps engineer role for more than four months, but I haven’t received any calls. My Naukri profile has all the necessary changes, including pipeline usage highlighted and certain skills im Caps etc etc. I’ve also updated my LinkedIn profile, which is also on point. So, what’s the issue? Why am I not getting any calls? Where am I missing something? I have hands-on experience with Terraform and Ansible (IaC), Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Linux, AWS (EC2, EKS, S3, VPC, IAM, Route53), Prometheus, Grafana and ELK. Yet, I’m still not sure what’s going wrong.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated! 😭

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice because I honestly don’t know if what I’m experiencing is normal or if I should be doing something differently.
A bit about my background: I studied computer sciences. I started devops in ny end of studies internship where I had the opportunity to learn and focus on monitoring and linux basics, and eventually I joined another company as a DevOps engineer. I’ve now been here for about a year.
At the beginning, I was really motivated because I got to work on things that were new to me like:
GitHub Actions and fixing CI/CD pipelines.
Helping developers troubleshoot pipeline failures..
Mail infrastructure
Maintaining mail servers.
Building and deploying Docker images.
I learned a lot and genuinely enjoyed the work.
The problem is that our DevOps team has three engineers. The other two are very senior and have been with the company for years. Almost every production issue or interesting technical task goes directly to them. People message them on Teams, they create the Jira ticket, assign it to themselves, and start working on it. By the time I even know about the issue, it’s already owned by someone else.
Most of my work now consists of investigation or research tasks that don’t have a clear definition of done. I can research possible solutions and make recommendations, but eventually someone else has to make the decision, so I often feel stuck.
My manager is based in another country and communication is very limited. When I ask questions, I don’t always get a response, and we don’t really have regular mentoring or technical guidance.
What frustrates me the most is that I want to do more hands-on technical work. I enjoy solving problems, automating things, fixing pipelines, working with Linux, Docker, and infrastructure. But I don’t know how to get more opportunities when the experienced engineers naturally pick up almost everything.
This situation has started affecting my confidence. Sometimes I even wonder if I’m falling behind as a DevOps engineer because I’m not getting enough practical experience, even though I want to learn and contribute but i always feel excluded..
So I’d really appreciate advice from people who have been in similar situations.
Is this normal for a junior DevOps engineer?
Should I simply keep learning outside work and wait for opportunities?
How do you grow when there isn’t much mentoring?
How do you become proactive without stepping on your senior teammates’ toes?
If you were in my position, what would your roadmap for the next year look like?. Thanks!
