Hi@Shashi,

It depends on the use case to use case. DevOps is a big umbrella. Every tool has there own data types. For example, If you consider Jenkins CI/CD tool then you can configure your task using the bash shell as well as Groovy scripting language. So it depends on your tool.

Hey, @Shashi,

The DevOps position requires you to be good at programming and Scripting. DevOps engineers will get involved in Build, Deploy, Testing, and release of the applications or software. The programming languages must be stable, object-oriented, secure, and scalable.

There are three main reasons Python is such a popular “starter” language for DevOps:

Python is easy to learn. Any programming language is easy is of course relative. You’re not going to become an expert overnight. However, Python is relatively easier to get started with than many other languages.

Python is great at enabling automation. DevOps is all about automating things. The more you can eliminate manual processes, the better.

DevOps aspirants are recommended to enroll in Post Graduate Program in DevOps to enhance their skills.
