Everyday abilities

Core competencies

How much of each everyday ability DevOps Engineer work typically calls for. Every job uses these, so we don’t track demand for them.

Illustrative — based on the ASC core competency scale · Levels run from 1 (basic) to 10 (highly complex) and describe how much of each ability the work calls for. They are not a judgement of any person.

Framework: Australian Skills Classification, Jobs and Skills Australia · What core competencies are

Rising ads don’t mean you should learn this.

Your interests, the time you have and what people in the work tell you matter more. Effort and transferability are editorial estimates, not measurements.
