Asked By TechyTraveler89 On

I'm making the leap from being a Linux administrator to a DevOps role within my company, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I have a basic understanding of tools like Ansible, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins, but I haven't worked on any big projects or complex setups yet. Plus, I won't have many people to guide me in my new team. With only a month to prepare before I join the team, where should I begin my learning journey?

Hey! You're not alone; a lot of us started out as Linux admins before jumping into DevOps. The key is to focus on streamlining the workflow from development to production. It's really about making things easier for the team. There’s this DevOps Slack group I’m part of, and it could be a great place for you to ask questions and connect with others who’ve been in your shoes.

Joining an existing DevOps team can be exciting! I highly recommend setting up one-on-one meetings with some of your new colleagues. Most engineers are more than willing to share their knowledge, especially on how they use various cloud services and what their typical day looks like. Getting firsthand insights from them could provide you with the practical learning you need to focus on before you officially start.
