I'm completely new to programming and have found myself in the position of managing a DevOps team due to budget constraints in my company. My challenge is that I'm a very visual learner. When I hear terms like 'pipelines', I can't help but picture actual pipes, which just adds to my confusion. I'm looking for beginner-friendly resources, especially YouTube channels where someone shares their screen and walks through what DevOps entails. I've seen a few videos but they seem too abstract and I'm struggling to connect the dots. Any recommendations?

It sounds like you're in a pretty tricky situation! Without a formal title or clear structure, it’s tough to manage the team effectively. Understanding the concept of a pipeline is crucial. It’s about taking code from development to production and involves various environments like testing and staging. Given your context, I suggest you get hands-on where you can, maybe even try creating a simple project yourself. Visualizing the process might help you grasp the concepts much better!
You should definitely check out Techworld with Nana on YouTube! She has some fantastic visual guides on DevOps that break everything down very clearly. If you want, I can share her best pipeline video with you!
Sure! I'd love to see that!
You’re really getting thrown into something complex without much background, aren’t you? DevOps is all about transforming code from development into actual useable applications or services. Think of pipelines as the paths this code travels to reach its destination, like staging and production environments. It might help to delve into resources specifically designed for visual learners. While you might not want to ask your team directly, you could gain valuable insight by learning the roles within DevOps to understand their workflow better. Communication is key, so don’t hesitate to learn from them where possible!
Thanks for your input! I guess I need to gather more knowledge before I can effectively communicate with the team.
That's a great idea! I think actually trying it out will help it stick.
