THE ENGINEERING TOOLKIT

The DevOps Technology Ecosystem

A practical map of the tools teams use to plan, build, ship, and operate modern software.

Source control

Git

Track changes and collaborate on code safely.

Source control

GitHub

Host repositories and collaborate through pull requests.

Operating systems

Linux

Run and administer the systems behind much of the cloud.

Operating systems

Ubuntu

Use a popular Linux distribution for servers and development.

Operating systems

Windows Server

Host and manage Microsoft workloads and services.

Containers

Docker

Package applications and dependencies into portable containers.

Containers

Kubernetes

Orchestrate containerized workloads across clusters.

Configuration management

Ansible

Configure systems consistently with automation playbooks.

CI/CD

Jenkins

Automate build, test, and delivery workflows.

CI/CD

GitHub Actions

Run automated workflows alongside your GitHub repositories.

Infrastructure as code

Terraform

Define and version infrastructure using declarative configuration.

Cloud platforms

Microsoft Azure

Build and operate services on Microsoft's cloud platform.

Cloud platforms

Amazon Web Services

Use a broad portfolio of cloud infrastructure services.

Cloud platforms

Google Cloud

Build workloads using Google's cloud services.

Observability

Prometheus

Collect and query time-series metrics from services.

Observability

Grafana

Visualize metrics and create operational dashboards.

Observability

ELK Stack

Collect, search, and analyze logs with Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana.

Web servers & proxies

Nginx

Serve web traffic and route requests through a reverse proxy.

Web servers & proxies

Apache

Host websites with the widely used Apache HTTP Server.

WHERE APPLICATIONS RUN

Understand Modern Infrastructure

From owned hardware to managed cloud services, each model changes what your team operates and what the provider manages.

01ON-PREMISES

Physical servers

Organizations own and manage real hardware in a data center: rack servers with CPUs and RAM, storage, networking, power, and cooling.

Teams maintain the full lifecycle, including hardware, virtualization, operating systems, and physical security.
02IAAS

Virtual machines

Infrastructure as a Service provides virtual compute, networks, disks, and firewalls on demand. You manage the operating system and application.

Examples: Azure VM · AWS EC2 · Google Compute Engine
03PAAS

Managed platforms

Platform as a Service manages much of the runtime and hosting layer, so teams can focus on application code and data.

Examples: Azure App Service · AWS Elastic Beanstalk · Google App Engine
04PUBLIC · PRIVATE · HYBRID

Cloud infrastructure

Public cloud uses a provider's shared infrastructure; private cloud is dedicated to one organization; hybrid connects cloud and on-premises environments.

Platforms: Microsoft Azure · AWS · Google Cloud
i

Who manages what? With physical infrastructure, your organization owns and operates the hardware. With IaaS, a provider manages the physical layer while you manage virtual machines and their software. With PaaS, the provider also manages the runtime platform, leaving you to focus primarily on your application.

THE SERVER FOUNDATION

Linux & Server Administration

Linux powers a large part of modern cloud infrastructure. DevOps engineers who understand servers can diagnose issues at the source, not just in a dashboard.

Learn how a real server works—from the first SSH connection to a hardened service ready for production.
