I've been learning Docker, Kubernetes, and GitLab CI/CD through YouTube tutorials. Recently, my team was restructured, and we currently lack anyone with expertise in these areas. We need to build out our pipeline structure and manage our clusters from scratch, which feels like a fantastic opportunity for me to step up. I'm looking for advice on how to progress beyond beginner tutorials and create resilient systems and pipelines. Any suggestions on resources, best practices, or methods to help me develop my skills would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It's definitely a great opportunity for you! Start by understanding what the teams you support really need. Don't just build a platform and hope they'll join—figure out how you can make them more efficient. Working closely with one team first can help you understand their challenges and how to solve them before expanding further.
Thanks for the insight! I'm eager to gather resources to enhance my skills since I have a lot of hands-on work coming up soon.
Absolutely! The key is to solve real problems that developers face. Talk to them, find out what issues they have, and then you can figure out the best solutions. If you need help, just ask around!
