Hey folks! I'm in the process of setting up a DevOps homelab and want to create a portfolio website on AWS that reflects my skills while also helping me learn hands-on. I'd love to make it feel like a real production-ready setup with practices like CI/CD, infrastructure as code, monitoring, and containerization. I'm seeking advice on how to develop it into more than just a static site. Specifically, I'm curious about how to balance simplicity with realism, what key elements of a DevOps pipeline are essential to showcase, whether to stick solely with AWS or incorporate various self-hosted systems, how to maintain complex projects, and any underrated tools or setups you found valuable in your homelab experience. I'm really aiming to make this project a long-term learning venture that embodies real DevOps principles. Thanks for your insights!

If you're aiming to track your progress like a real team, consider using a tool like Monday Dev. It's great for structuring tasks, documenting builds, and visually managing your pipelines and AWS projects. It definitely helps in building a solid portfolio!
Check out my setup if you're looking for inspiration! I have implemented CI/CD and I'm currently working on integrating monitoring with some Terraform, especially for Cloudflare. It might not be exactly what you're going for, but it could give you some ideas!
