I’ll give you kubernetes. It would be kind of irresponsible to ignore it in the current landscape.
But there’s still more puppet out there than you can shake a stick at. And no established DevOps engineer wants those jobs.
It’s not like Ansible isn’t still active. What I’m mentioning isn’t the way things are going and or the newest technology. But that stuff, it’s still all over the place out there, and there’s no lack of companies that need engineers for care and feeding. That 5-10-year-old tech is a great advantage for someone looking to work their way into the industry.
Especially for someone fresh out of the gate, I probably roll up in a place with enough kubernetes, ansible, salt, and cloud formation to make my resume look interesting.
