Today the technology sector is experiencing a boom throughout the world. There are hundreds of startups launching every day. In order to move fast - these startups need people who are skilled at automating as much as possible. Mostly progressive startups - favor implementing completely automatedDevOpspipelines from the get go. They realize that these practices ofcontinuous integration (CI)andcontinuous delivery (CD)will yield tremendous benefits regarding speed and agility. The demand for these skills has been steadily rising over the last few years.
AWSCodePipeline and AWSCodeDeployis a highly scalable and configurabletoolset from Amazon AWSwhich enables us to build very sophisticated automated build and deploymentpipelines.
Jenkinsis an award-winning open source toolset which enables us to build very sophisticated automated build pipelines very quickly. It has extensive community support which has augmented the core functionality ofJenkinsby building and sharing hundreds of very useful plugins.
Implementing continuous integration, continuous delivery and continuous deploymentwith these tools and frameworkscan help us immensely in reducing the risk within our software development lifecycle. It catches us bugs early and increases the quality of our software products. This, in turn, reduces the overall cost to develop innovative software in any environment - startups and enterprise alike.
The demand for professionals who have experience with these tools has been growing steadily over the last few years. The salaries and consulting rates for these skills have also been rising and are only bound to go up as the demand for these skills remains steady or increases. Professionals with AWSandJenkinsexperience can demand as much as$130Kas their yearly compensation and these jobs pay more than majority of the jobs posted on USjob boards.
