What level of Python should a junior DevOps engineer have?

Question

Python

I want to learn Python for my own development in the field of DevOps.
A lot of places say that you need Python scripting, but I can’t find which scripts I have to write, whether OOP is used in them or not, what task plan the script covers ...
I want to understand what exactly you need to know and be able to write in Python so that I can be considered a Junior DevOps engineer.

Answer 1

I want to understand what exactly you need to know and be able to write in Python so that I can be considered a Junior DevOps engineer.

You may not know Python at all.
Devops is not a python developer. This is a system administrator in the field of ci / cd settings, for which you need to be able to work with tools that allow you to CI / CD, understand how products are being developed now and how they are launched, understand monitoring.
In general, Junior Devops is bad manners. They come to devops either after experience in system administration or development experience. Well, sometimes they can go from L3.
But not from scratch and immediately into devops. Exceptions are extremely rare and always justified by something.
But if you want to write a devops thread in python, put some prometheus thread and write a script to it in python to take some indicators. Add visualization to Prometheus and you will monitor some thread of your indicator.

First you need to know Russian, at least at the level of 6-7 grades.

Answer 3

The answer, as always, is "depends". From the company, position, etc.
I would dance not from the language, but from the tasks. For example - a web server log is given, it is necessary
- to display a dozen clients that received the most bytes
- the same - for 5xx errors
- etc. etc.
Or - send to Slack a list of users who logged into the system at night / weekends.
