Hi @TravisMedia, Thanks for all your Tech contents. They have really helped me. I have a concern. Intro: I am a computer science final year student. I started the journey of DevOps Engineering early this year. I have mastered a couple of devOps Tools. I have no working experience neither a proper CV. What advice do you have for me ?

Hi Travis, I have been following your content and guides for a few months now. Your Terraform tutorial was my first steps into IaC. It inspired me to follow through on a few projects on terraform. Today I got a phone call from a very good company offering me a place on their DevOps programme. I have no developer background and have worked in IT support for 18 months after starting my IT career in my 30s. Your content is inspirational and relevant. Thank you so much.

[@owenrooneycloudtech]

@@estelaaletse5919 Linux was a big one they were looking for. Since starting the job terraform is very important and git also. 75% of my time so far has been on terraform. Familiarity with the command line, Linux/AWS/Azure all important. Really just having a general interest and passion for cloud work seems to have gotten me the offer as technically speaking I am behind the curve.

Maybe replace python with go or learn it additionally

[@electricz3045]

I for one did not knew Kubernetes, Jenkin, Ansible and only a but about git version control, I still got accepted and learned these things while I worked in the company so it's good to have the majority of skills but you don't need to know all of them before applying to a job in DevOps engineer position

[@AndyGrouch]

You forgot one very important aspect. Communication with lots of different people. As DevOps guy, you need to be able to communicate with almost every part of the organization. Especially if you are working in a larger project with lots of teams and people.

[@electricz3045]

It's not easier, the focus is just on more fields with less dedication to each which will be more helpful in the long run if you don't want to be stuck as developer or operator in the same type of companies every time. DevOps have more varied skills.

[@andreeliasoliveira6131]

I'm trying the zero to DevOps route since I could get a role at a company interested in developing their own DevOps. I'm three months into it now and I can't say whether it's been wise or not lol atm, I am taking a toll from ALWAYS having to learn something new. But then again, such is the industry on a whole. The worst part was having to switch tools midway because of costs and having to deal with the fact that I have to relearn some stuff and kind of unutilise some of what I had learned. I have fun and most of all a lot of help from the Devs, which allows me to focus more on the ops side of things. I wish I had a better senior presence, though

[@klam539]

Building a DevOps mindset in a traditional team is extra tough without experience in an established DevOps environment, because you need the clout and people skills to drive change in a team as well; good luck...

[@dunzhijialuo736]

love how down to earth, realistic and transparent this channel is ! keep up with the good work Travis !

[@demidevil666]

The pause after "there is also a scrum master..." Had me rolling. 😂 The scrum master truly is one of the people of all time. 😅 I've been working as a DevOps engineer for a little over 2 years and the things mentioned in this video relate very closely to my experience thus far. Great video. :)

[@dmitriyobidin6049]

What i would also add: - some sort of service mesh: istio, linkerd, consul - some sort of messaging queues: kafka, rabbitmq

[@poppadoesitpropa]

As an Ops guy spent more time adopting Linux and work as an independent contractor. I've looked at some of the negative comments here... unfounded as they are it shows just how ignorant of the road map / tech skills stack that is required! Yes difficult to get into the space. But for me your post is 100% accurate. With 23 years of experience I've worked with Win and Open Source lately which mirrors your comment re cloud. Linux is the net and given this matches what you need to add to repertoire . Brilliant video sure to subscribe to someone who speaks my language 👍🏽

[@RiadMahmud]

This is what I was looking for the last few days. A full package of DevOps guide. Thanks for sharing this great info.

[@figh761]

Did you finish learning

[@michajaroch5894]

It's impressive to present things concisely, in a so comprehensive manner, that after watching that video I was already able to put puzzles together and imagine how those tools are chained with each other. Even though some of the terms I encountered for the first time. I started a course on devops one month ago, my prior experience is that I had been working with python over the past couple of months, but quickly realised one programming language is no longer enough. Then I started doing some research what fields of IT interest me the most, I directed my attention towards data analysis/devops, traditional way of starting as a junior developer, creating websites feels just boring to me, I did some projects in my free time to get an idea of how it works together, but didn't feel fulfilled at the end at all. I'd rather see websites as a mean to an end, not the goal of my work itself. Plus, I think supply exceeds demand and wages for junior developers don't differ much from the one I got in my current job (automotive industry). There's indeed quite a lot to assimilate, feels overwhelming at times, but a prospect of having a job allowing me to make a decent living, doing stuff I consider fun on a daily basis, and having, to some extent, my future secured drives me.

[@noexcuse.s]

Hello. You still studying? Did you started any course? I am thinking to get into this but I don't know where to start. Me as a person I like learning 1 to 1 with someone and not by myself. I was wondering maybe you can teach me something that you already know. Thanks! Have a good day!

[@mannie4683]

Great video! Tbh it seems being a developer/cloud engineer seems a lot more simple than becoming a full on DevOps engineer.

[@DorisClay]

I just started learning Cloud and found you, unrelated, your voice is SMOOOOTH. I was surprised when I started the video.

[@MylesEdwards-q2z]

Thank you so much for this break down. I took notes thorough your video, and as I was going, I realized that I'm almost a DevOps engineer now at my current company and had no idea. I just need some certs and more time on some certain things and I could make this work. Your video really simplified what seemed like a mountain of things to overcome and figure out. Im going to go out and buy a whiteboard now lol.

[@REDDPET]

[@Richa_cute]

I took a whole course in coursera for devops and still didn't get a sum-up like this. Thanks a lot!

[@ajofestreetmic]

quick fix: scrum is a sub of agile not the other way around

[@enpassant7358]

Thanks for the insight. I do most of these things for my own projects until you got to Kubernetes. It is good to know what skills I need to work on. I also appreciated the overview of working within a team. I imagine working with a group of people toward the same goal would really elevate the learning process.

[@TravisMedia]

It does!

[@Daniel_Ward-wj1nq]

Great

[@sheenismhaellim2215]

Trying to learn DevOps via Tech world with Nana's bootcamp, coming from OPS side, this video is awesome. As I learn, devops usually automate their selves out of a job to do the next thing, because theres always gonna be a next thing. Coding for DevOps are more of a infrastructure side of things rather than application logic. this vide is awesome i hope more similar will be released in the future.

[@ampmn00]

First of all welcome to all the new and Restarting their Career.. I have enjoyed your session Travis.. Very clear and to the point.. Yes this is only the tip of the DevOps journey. BIG thing as in any business…Learn the business, processes and Teams.. This will make your life easier on a new job.. Working with teams that have standardized processes is awesome.. but not there mostly..

[@taterrhead]

do not skip 'web development' skills Unless you already have other software engineering skills (and performed them in a job) because I haven't seen anyone go self taught ---> Dev Ops role without clearly having a job or major project history building/working on things

[@silverfullbuster9177]

Right. Going from zero to Devops is rare. Most people will have some speciality either a developer,network engineer etc then move to devops

[@czanderrr]

I got interested in DevOps as a non-developer (business analyst) mainly through the combination of working at a company that had really inefficient relationships between operations and software development, and separately, building out a homelab and getting to really enjoy learning Linux, automation, scripting, system admin, and networking. Basically accidentally learned that DevOps was a thing that combined several of my interests, looking forward to this journey!

[@scottamolinari]

Interesting. Good video. I didn't make a conscious effort to learn Linux. But, funny enough, because developing in Windows (despite WSL) was such a hit and miss experience and practically ALL solutions on the Internet are Linux-based, I decided to move my personal computer to Linux and I've never looked back (for developing). It's just so much better working in the same environment your work will also work in. I've been learning all this stuff over the last couple of years and I'm so far from being an expert. But, it is also so much fun. I have a higher goal to produce a PaaS. I'd suggest to anyone who wants to learn anything, present yourself with a challenge you can relate to. Don't learn for the sake of learning, but rather to help you solve a particular problem. You'll learn the fastest. You'll become a sponge for the knowledge.

[@jackscalibur]

I would say to really dig deep on Python, Linux, and Networking concepts (assuming you are a newcomer).

[@dmitriyobidin6049]

In modern world it looks like people have forgotten that DevOps meant to be a bridge between Devs and Operations teams, and modern DevOps engineers are slowly became new Ops. So there is no more dev and ops with devops between them, it is more like there are only devs and devops, and operations teams are not existent. So some of the tasks devops supposed to do is now done by developers(aws setups and etc.) and all of the tasks operations supposed to do are thrown at devops(monitoring, on-calls, etc.).
