I've recently dived into DevOps and spent a couple of weeks learning the basics, including Linux, shell scripting, networking, and Docker. After a brief pause due to other commitments, I'm eager to get back to it! I'm reaching out for suggestions on practical projects I can undertake that cover each of these areas and also include learning about AWS. I really believe in the power of project-based learning over just tutorials, so any insights would be super helpful!

Project-based learning really shines when you tackle problems on your own! While I can’t spoon-feed you ideas, I recommend using your goals and job market trends to shape your projects. For Linux administration, I found the Linux Upskill Challenge to be a great resource: linuxupskillchallenge.org. When you're ready to dive into AWS, check out the Cloud Resume Challenge; it does a fantastic job of combining practical skills and real-world applications.
Thanks a ton! I recently tried containerizing a Node project with Nginx, and your insights really hit home. The AI tools missed a ton of important steps like caching and production settings. Your advice is super appreciated!
