Extract-Transform-Load workflows involve considerable architecture including a workflow over a network to take data from a flat file and ingest it into a database. Automation is one way to manage the ETL support system. DevOps Engineers commonly support database installations and configurations. DevOps engineers commonly support continual delivery pipelines. This automated process (involving automatic deployments) is often similar to automating an ETL process. DevOps engineering, build and release engineering, automation development, and ETL design are all interdisciplinary fields of information technology. This is a quiz related to both DevOps and ETL topics.
