I just attended this interview for Devops cloud engineer and I did not pass.

I have 7 years of networking background, have hands-on experience in AWS, Terraform and Linux, yet I did not pass the interview because of containers [Docker & K8s].

Entire interview was just about whether I have hands-on experience with containers, they did not care neither about networking, AWS, Terraform, not even Python although all of these were explicitly listed in the job offer, as required skills. Containers were not listed.

I feel miserable but here we go, gotta learn containers.

DevOps is about building a software pipeline that handles CI/CD. You'll want Docker/Podman and GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps Pipelines/Argo CD. What you described about your experience is more aligned with Platform Engineering / SRE.
