What a DevOps Engineer workday looks like

9:00 AM

Standup

Morning sync — overnight alerts and today's priorities

9:30 AM

Incident: Service Down

App-server is returning 502s. SSH in, find the root cause, and restore service

11:00 AM

Disk Space Alert

PagerDuty fired: disk at 95%. Find what's eating space and clean it up before it hits 100%

2:00 PM

Deployment Prep

Fix deploy.sh permissions before the 3 PM release window — it's failing with permission denied

4:00 PM

Postmortem

Document today's incidents for the team postmortem

4:55 PM

End of day

Trying to log off — Marcus wants to push a "one-line terraform fix" to prod tonight and file the CAB ticket Monday post-hoc. SOX ITGC audit had a "qualified" finding last quarter on this exact pattern.
