Hi everyone! My company has a nice budget of $2500 a year for courses, and I want to make the most out of it. I'm specifically interested in high-quality, one-time purchase courses because I want to retain access even if I change jobs. Currently, I'm looking into the DevSecOps Bootcamp by Techworld with Nana, and I'd love to know if anyone has taken it. Additionally, I'm keen on improving my skills in areas like DevSecOps/security, Kubernetes, and programming (preferably Python or Golang). I would really appreciate your suggestions for solid mid-to-advanced level courses that are worth it. Thanks a lot in advance!

If you're interested in practical learning, I'd recommend focusing on courses that offer hands-on projects. The DevSecOps Bootcamp by Techworld with Nana has some projects listed, but I think it would be wise to ask for more details about them. It's important to apply what you learn at your job, not just sit through lectures. By the way, I took the bootcamp two years ago, and I found it really valuable!
I recently interviewed someone who took a DevOps course from Edureka, and they were quite knowledgeable. The curriculum looks really detailed, worth checking out if you’re considering options!
If you’re into books too, I wrote one called 'Deployment from Scratch' which has some useful chapters for your needs. Plus, it comes with lifetime updates so you can keep up with new versions even after leaving your job.
I've heard good things about KodeKloud's CKA and CKAD courses. You can get those on their website (it’s a subscription model) or through Udemy, but be cautious since on Udemy you may not get full lab access. If you want the full experience, KodeKloud is the way to go!
Yeah, if you go the Udemy route, you'll miss some hands-on lab time.
+1 for KodeKloud! Also, since you have a budget, consider building a home lab for practice. You could get really hands-on with something like Terraform or another interesting project in the cloud. It’d be a great way to learn and apply your skills.
Exactly! You can get a lot done with that budget just by diving into projects.
Techworld with Nana seems solid! Also, keep an eye out for Kubernetes courses by Kelsey Hightower and Bret Fisher—they're quite respected in the community and might give you a great foundation.
That's great to hear! I might just give it a shot then!
