That porn music for the first 45 seconds.. LMAO.. overall though, thanks for the vid.. i had no idea what dev ops do either.

[@NetworkChuck]

ha, had to go back and watch the intro and now that's all I can think about.....thanks a lot ;)

"You shouldn´t use DevOps to do things you can´t do on your own." Great advice... thanks

[@SuperThejim]

I have been studying DevOps like a mad-man and I occasionally watch a video or two about "what is DevOps?" or "DevOps culture", etc. This is probably the BEST one I have seen. Like you said, you weren't the expert, so you went and interviewed the expert. Thank you! The calculator analogy was awesome. Plus, so many of these videos are from those with Dev backgrounds, so it's great to see a networking background too!

[@mastermnd]

So while this is good information, its not complete information. DevOps != Infrastrucrure automation. Most of what you are discussing is DevOps tooling, and DevOps != tooling either. DevOps is both a technical and a cultural shift an organization has to make. DevOps is breaking down the silos between Dev and Ops, and using automation as a tool to enable developers to develop as fast as they want.

[@peppigue]

This was as good a definition as I've seen. I think the term doesn't make much sense for people who don't know what non-devops organization and practices are. If you're a freshie IT pro and your first workplace do devops well, you won't understand why anyone would do it differently.

[@decentcomment9447]

I think the issue still 2 years on from your comment is that while devops is still gaining a lot of traction. The idea of what devops looks like can be described lots of different ways depending who you ask. There isn’t a clear cut this is what devops is , which isn’t a bad thing it just shows hwo versatile devops is that it can have so many different forms. But I agree with what you say while the actual definition of devops itself doesn’t meant infrastructure automation or just tooling. But the guys aren’t necessarily wrong because they are opting to talk about what devops means to them which is infrastructure provision and automation so it’s a blurred line

[@eman0828]

A DevOps Engineer is really a glorified Systems Administrator under a different name. Many company's have changed their existing System Administrator job titles to DevOps as a buzzword since DevOps is not a real role or position.

[@decentcomment9447]

@@eman0828 I don’t think that’s accurate at all. The devops engineer is doing the role of a network engineer in an automated fashion. I’m not sure how that would make them a glorified system admin ?

[@eman0828]

@@decentcomment9447 DevOPs is not an acutal role. Look it up! Most people that work in the cloud come from a Systems Administrator or Systems Engineer background. A lot of companies have swapped System Administrator job titles out with DevOP Engineer, Cloud Admin, SysOP given that the traditional Sysadmin role as evolving. Systems Administrators have to know Networking which has always been thing. Network Engineers are called Network Engineers not DevOPs Engineers. They work with automation as well but software defined Networking.

[@kernelpanick636]

I didn't learn anything here because I got my LPIC1 in 2015 and the lpic 2 in 2019 and learned ansible and used it at my last job to automate dns updates, configurations and provisioning new servers (before covid got me laid off). So from experience these steps are on point and are a great way to get into Linux and move into the devops world.

[@genjioto]

I am so glad Shawn said he had system admin experience because thats what I am going for now. As soon as I graduate with my SWE degree, I plan on getting into DevOps with some system admin experience. So I am so glad I am headed in the right direction.

[@thatsjusthim]

Ayyyy Network Chuck remixed the intro, definitely not mad at that.

[@eman0828]

I notice a lot of System Administrator jobs are listed under the DevOps Engineer job in descuised given that DevOps Engineer is not an acutal role in IT. It's just a buzzword title for job postings. DevOps is a culture and mythology of automating processes. A System Administrator would use a DevOps approach.

[@robwhitexp]

I suspect different companies have different definitions of what their devops employees are to do. But most devops spend time with Ansible, Terraform, Git and some sort of cloud platform (AWS)

[@djsimplyseth]

From Experience, Very True

[@eman0828]

Most DevOps Engineers are simply System Administrators under an different job title. DevOPs is just used as a buzzword for ambiguous job titles.

Hi Chuck, first of all thank you for your videos, they are amazing. I'm curious about how you manage drinking coffee, sleeping, and studying. Do you stop drinking coffee at a certain time or try to avoid studying at night due to being close to bedtime? Are you one of those people who can sleep even after consuming caffeine?

[@engrmarkmorfe]

Unfortunately, the training cost in CBT Nuggets is pricey compared to other learning websites.

[@kdwqrx]

so a DevOps engineer is a system administrator that automates stuff? isn't that what a sys admin already does?

[@SamAndrew27]

I mean, kind of yes...but DevOps automate *more* and more often.

[@bulcub]

Only if that Sys Admin knows how to Program. And many still can't wrap their heads around powershell so in the real world most will pass the buck to the subordinate.

[@subvind]

If you want to automate something you would need to write a plan and that is what programmers do (define program: a planned series of future events, items, or performances.). That is the developer part. Now, the operations part would involve taking that plan and distributing it across a cluster of computers. Or perhaps, saving it to git for branching, issue tacking, etc. Or perhaps running E2E/unit tests to check functionality. There are so many operations one could do to a programmers code that a DEVOPS engineer would need to do/understand.

[@AndyGrouch]

DevOps Engineer works more closely within the software. Meaning not just the infrastructure but the actual code and improving how to produce better software. It's kind of a like a mix of software developer, sysadmin and test automation engineer. Understanding the whole software project's lifecycle is the key here.

[@SamAndrew27]

@@AndyGrouch, I agree. Traditionally, there was a pretty insurmountable wall between IT and Development - DevOps aims to break down that wall and get IT and Devs working together to increase efficiency, communication, etc. Any software company _not_ using DevOps are going to get left behind.

[@AviationZero]

What will be in more demand - Linux or Microsoft?

[@jomonjoshy8406]

Linux

[@SamAndrew27]

Learn both! Especially if you are in the SMB world. Also, a lot of the PowerShell commands are aliased to traditional Linux commands, so they carry over.

[@eman0828]

Both because Enterprises still rely heavily around Microsoft products esp office 365, Active Directory, Windows Server, group policy. Alot of that will be in Azure of course. Linux is good for pure server infrastructures esp web servers and databases.

Great content! I just graduated a full stack software development course and just landed a position as a software QA tester. A few days in and seeing how this side of the development life cycle works, I really like it. So now looking more into it, it seems like it might be a good Segway into DevOps. It merges my love for IT and development and I love that. But is there a future for this role? I hear a lot of negative about this role and that its not needed and only a matter of time before its gone. Is that true? Will it exist in 10-15 years?

[@eman0828]

DevOps Engineer is not an acutal role. It's really a Systems Administrator role in descuised under a different name. There will always be a demand for Sysadmins as some one has the Administer the cloud infrastructure as the traditional Sysadmin role evolves from on-prem.

Admin will switch to DevOps, But Wondering if I can switch to DevOps area. I learnt myself Jenkins, Ansible, Docker, AWS services and good at bash and Python scripting. What is your suggestion on this, please provide your views. Thanks in advance.

[@eman0828]

DevOps is not an acutal role in IT. It's a culture method. DevOps Engineer is just a Systems Administrator under a different title given that many job titles in IT are pretty ambiguous these days. Many HR and Recruiter's simply changed existing Sysadmin job title postings to DevOps Engineer as a buzzword to get people's attention while role hasn't changed. Some Sysadmins job postings are also under Cloud Administrator.

DevOps is not an acutal role. You are still a Systems Administrator even if your job title is listed as DevOps Engineer. Many Sysadmin job postings simply gotten a name swap with other variant titles such as Cloud Administrator, Azure or AWS admin, or DevOps Engineer. DevOps its self is a cultural methodology used in a company not a role.
