Hey everyone! I've been a front-end developer for 11 years, and while I've been doing a bit of full-stack work, I've recently been pushed into DevOps responsibilities, which I'm really not enjoying. It seems like a lot of people expect us to be experts in Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, and other DevOps tools. I'm looking for good learning resources—maybe something on Udemy? Also, are there other front-end developers out there feeling the same pressure? How has this transition affected your career? Has it opened up more job opportunities or just made you feel stuck?

I'm in the same boat! I've been thrust into working with Kubernetes and AWS too. I found that just the basics from Udemy and the official docs were enough to get started. But honestly, the job market is pretty rough these days anyway.
You're definitely not the only one! I've seen many front-end roles slowly morph into DevOps responsibilities. It can feel overwhelming at first, but mastering these skills can actually widen your job options, especially in today's job market.
Doing DevOps feels like eating only the crust of a sandwich! Honestly, I think it's a struggle for a lot of us front-end folks. Going from just knowing what's out there to actually owning DevOps and teaching it is a huge leap.
