Hey everyone! I'm new around here, so I thought I'd introduce myself a bit. I have a background in SysAdmin and Network Engineering at a Junior level, and I'm eager to transition into DevOps. I'm really passionate about infrastructure and automation, but I feel like there are parts of DevOps that I'm missing. To bridge this gap, I'm considering bootcamps that last between 3 to 6 months, ideally around 3 months, to get my skills sharpened and gain practical experience quickly.
The main reason I'm leaning towards a bootcamp is that I've struggled with setting up labs and making the most out of self-study. I think I've hit a point where I really need some guidance and mentorship. I came across TechWorld with Nana's DevOps Bootcamp, which sounds promising, especially because they provide actual projects to showcase when job hunting. Have any of you tried that bootcamp? Would you recommend any other options? My budget is about $3,000, and I'm ready to dedicate myself to an intensive program for this duration. Thanks for any help!

I haven't been through Nana's bootcamp, but I've heard great things about the content and it's a solid entry point. If you're spending around 3k, you might also want to check out KodeKloud Pro, DevOps Directive, or School of SRE. They’re usually more hands-on and often less expensive.
If you have the time, mixing self-study with practical work can be really beneficial. YouTube, KodeKloud labs, Katacoda, Play with Docker, and the AWS free tier are fun ways to set up your own labs. But if you think you need structure and accountability, Nana's program could be a really good fit.
Man, thank you so much for this feedback! I'll definitely look into those options!
