What the chart shows

DevOps hiring follows the arc of infrastructure-as-code going mainstream. Docker appears first and spikes as containers become table stakes; Kubernetes climbs behind it to become the orchestration skill teams actually advertise; Terraform rises as declarative cloud provisioning becomes the norm; Ansible and Jenkins hold steadier configuration and CI niches; Prometheus tracks the observability build-out. The relative bands show the order of adoption clearly. Read the sample postings to see the wider platform stack these tools sit in - almost always next to a cloud (usually AWS) and a backend language like Go.
