Asked By CleverPanda17 On

I've been working as a full stack developer for 3.5 years and I'm interested in diving into DevOps. While I don't want to completely shift into a DevOps role, I've noticed that many job listings are requiring DevOps skills, and I believe they would enhance my career prospects. What are the best ways for someone with my background to start learning DevOps? Should I consider bootcamps, take online courses, or just teach myself? Which tools and technologies should I prioritize learning? Also, are there any recommended projects or certifications I should aim for? I'm eager to hear suggestions from those who have experience in both development and DevOps!

A great first step is to take an application you’ve built and deploy it in the cloud. Don’t worry if things break—just fix them as you go! It's all part of the learning experience. Start building hands-on skills with tools like Linux, Git, Docker, and Terraform. You can even try creating projects on DigitalOcean since they have a solid Terraform provider. For a structured path, I recommend checking out resources like roadmap.sh/devops and devops-daily.com/roadmap; they are excellent for keeping you focused!
