What to look for in a DevOps freelancer
A strong DevOps engineer should think in systems and automation, not just run one-off commands. Look for:
- Real cloud platform depth on AWS, GCP, or Azure, not surface-level familiarity.
- Strong scripting and automation: Bash, Python, and infrastructure as code done properly.
- Container and orchestration experience: Docker, Kubernetes, and safe deployment strategies.
- A security and reliability mindset: least privilege, backups, and clear rollback plans.
- A track record of systems in production, with uptime and incidents they can speak to.
Ask how they handled a real outage or a costly cloud bill. How someone responds under pressure tells you more than any certification.
