# 10 Real-Time DevOps Projects That Will Get You Hired in Bangalore 2026

"In 2026, certifications open the door, but projects close the deal. Recruiters in Bangalore's tech parks aren't looking for a list of tools; they are looking for evidence that you can build and maintain a production-grade infrastructure."

## 1. Why Your DevOps Portfolio Matters in 2026

The Bangalore job market has shifted toward Evidence-Based Hiring. Whether you are applying to a unicorn startup in Koramangala or a Global Capability Center (GCC) in Whitefield, your GitHub profile is your real resume.

A great DevOps project doesn't just show a running app; it shows the **CI/CD pipeline**, the **Infrastructure as Code (IaC)** used to provision it, and the **Monitoring** setup that keeps it alive.

## 2. The "Must-Have" Projects for 2026

#### Project 1: End-to-End GitOps Pipeline with ArgoCD

Build a system where a simple Git commit triggers a container build, security scan, and automatic deployment to an Amazon EKS cluster using ArgoCD.

- GitHub Actions
- Docker
- ArgoCD
- AWS EKS

Why it works: Demonstrates mastery of the modern "Pull-based" delivery model.

#### Project 2: Zero-Touch Infrastructure with Terraform & AWS

Provision a VPC with public and private subnets, an Auto Scaling Group, and an RDS database entirely through Terraform modules.

- Terraform
- AWS VPC
- IAM
- Terragrunt

Why it works: Proves you can manage complex cloud architectures without touching the GUI.

## 3. Proving Your Troubleshooting Skills

Infrastructure is only as good as its visibility. Your portfolio should include at least one monitoring-focused project:

##### The "Observability Stack" Project

Deploy Prometheus and Grafana on Kubernetes to monitor a microservices application. Set up custom alerting rules for high CPU usage and 5xx error rates that send notifications to a Slack channel.

## 4. The "Vtricks Standard" for Project Documentation

In 2026, a link to a repo isn't enough. Your README file must include:

- ✔ Architecture Diagram: Visualize the data flow.
- ✔ Prerequisites: How to set up the environment.
- ✔ Step-by-Step Guide: Clear "how-to-run" instructions.
