Coding level for non developer profile

In which world do cloud platform engineers do coding. I have come across many profiles which need expertise in cloud platforms like compute, networking , security , devops , terraform which is fine. But who did development for 2 or more years and became cloud engineers .Do HRs of these companies are delusional ??

If coding then what level of coding is required , do I need to expertise in DSA kind of stuffs or just intermediate python knowledge and what kind of programming questions should I expect.?

Real patform engineers do a ton of coding. For eg: Kubernetes was built by real platform engineers.

You might be confusing cloud engineers with platform engineers. This seems to be a real platform engineering role.

If it's yaml on kubernetes I can understand or even build operators on k8s . Does it qualify for development experience in python. I am tired of learning and forgetting python. This time I have started with python with aws automation and lambda hopefully I learn something useful this time which I can say during interviews

No, I meant the actual Kubernetes code was written by platform engineers, not any code that just uses Kubernetes. What I'm trying to explain is that platform engineering is not the same as cloud engineering. In fact, it is pretty challenging to write code for building platforms like Kubernetes, AWS, etc.
