To transition from a System Engineer to a DevOps Engineer, you'll need to master automation tools (Jenkins, Ansible), version control (Git), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), scripting (Python, Bash), and CI/CD principles. Collaboration with development teams and software development knowledge is vital for bridging the operations-development gap in the DevOps culture.
