# DevOps Engineer Resume

Templates optimized for DevOps, SRE, and cloud engineering roles at Indian tech companies.

## Key Points
- You automate everything — but does your resume pass automated ATS screening?
- Docker and Kubernetes skills written in a fancy sidebar may never be parsed.
- Cloud platforms you've mastered won't matter if the ATS can't extract your skills.
- Pipeline expertise should be in your content, not just your resume's visual flow.

## What to Include
- Cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP with specific services used
- CI/CD tools: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation
- Container orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes, ECS
- Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK

## Common Mistakes
- Listing tools without showing infrastructure scale
- Not quantifying uptime, deployment frequency, or MTTR
- Missing security and compliance aspects
- Not showing cost optimization achievements
- Using a two-column format that ATS can't parse
