I’m trying to build a strong GitHub portfolio for DevOps roles and want to know what projects recruiters and hiring managers look for. Currently my profile includes a Python automation tool that combines Ansible with Terraform for cloud infrastructure deployment, plus a React frontend application. I’m wondering what other types of projects would make my profile stand out. Should I focus on CI/CD pipelines, monitoring solutions, or containerization examples? What specific technologies and tools do you think are most valuable to demonstrate through actual working code? I want to make sure I’m covering all the key areas that show real DevOps expertise.
k8s is def the hot topic rn! maybe try a project using helm for easier deploys. also, those docker multi-stage builds are a great way to show off. don’t forget about a monitoring setup with prometheus/grafana for real metrics, it makes a strong impression.
