I am recruiting devops engineers / SREs and am having trouble understanding their role in an organization. Bonus points for explaining Terraform, Python scr,ipting and Kubernetes. Thanks!
In: Engineering
Devops specifically deals with development tasks and deployment of a service. SREs specifically deal with making sure those services stay running and responsive. Services can be anything from an API other services use to a full blown site like Reddit.
Terraform is a tool used to manage the servers said services run on. Python is a scripting language typically used to automate tasks run on a server (like installing or starting/stopping applications). Kubernetes is a tool used to manage (restarting services that stop responding, scaling up/down depending on load, etc) the software parts that keep your service running.
