I've had a five-month break due to an ACL injury, and tomorrow marks my first day as a DevOps engineer (I'll be an intern for the first three months). It's my first job, and I'm feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. I don't have much experience in this field, having come from a background in cybersecurity. I would really appreciate any tips or suggestions to help me get started on the right foot!

Good luck on your first day! Remember to take ownership of your assignments, stay proactive, and document your work. It's also helpful to remember that everything you do has a business context, so keep that in mind as you learn.
Definitely focus on getting to know your coworkers and their interests! Building relationships at work can really help you feel comfortable and supported, especially as you're starting out.
Don’t shy away from documenting your onboarding. Create a starter’s guide for yourself and for future newcomers. It’ll help you and show initiative. Plus, keeping track of your setup in detail will pay off later!
Read the documentation thoroughly and make sure to take notes. If something doesn't make sense, ask more questions until it does. And remember, it’s perfectly okay not to know everything right away.
Always keep learning! The world of DevOps is vast, and there’s so much to absorb. Don’t hesitate to ask questions whenever something isn’t clear. Everyone understands that you're new and needs some guidance.
