DevOps is a hot area in the IT space right now, providing a link between the developers who design and program applications and software systems, and the operational IT people who run those systems.

This isn't a job for entry-level employees, however. Many organizations, according to Payscale.com, prefer candidates with a master's degree and at least three to five years of experience in the field, including experience with a wide range of technologies such as CSS, HTTP, SSL, HTML, XML, Java, Linux, Amazon Web Services, DNS, NoSQL technologies and web application development.
