Hey everyone! I'm really passionate about Linux and the command line. I've been diving into the basics of operating systems, Linux fundamentals, and bash scripting, and I've been enjoying the terminal workflow and the logic of automation. Now I'm looking to step into the Cloud and DevOps space but I'm unsure where to start given my current knowledge. Here's what I know so far: basic OS concepts, Linux fundamentals, and I'm quite comfortable with bash scripting and navigating the Linux command line. I have a few questions for you all:
1. Based on my skills, what types of roles should I target? (like internships or junior DevOps roles)
2. What should I focus on learning next to be job-ready in the cloud and DevOps area? Should I look into Git, Docker, CI/CD tools, or specific cloud platforms?
3. Can I land an internship or entry-level position in Cloud/DevOps without being fully certified?
4. Are there any recommended learning paths or roadmaps that build on my existing Linux knowledge?
I'm motivated to learn and make progress, just looking for some guidance from those who've been in a similar position or are already in the field!

Learning Docker containers is a solid move! It will help you package your applications efficiently and that knowledge is widely applicable across different cloud providers. Also, don’t overlook Git—getting comfy with it is critical. Terraform is another great tool to learn for managing cloud infrastructure, and you’ll find that the workflow is similar for all cloud platforms.
Here’s a quick rundown that might help you:
1. Target junior DevOps roles, internships, or SysAdmin positions.
2. Focus on learning Git, Docker, CI/CD concepts, Terraform, AWS, and Kubernetes.
3. Absolutely, it’s possible to get an entry-level role without full certifications.
4. Check out roadmap.sh for structured learning paths, plus resources like KodeKloud, and definitely set up a homelab!
