Moving from Dev to DevOps 

@tutorialLinux Hi David, cheers for the great answer to my question (it’s Jon from Leeds). I am very glad you and everyone found the plan useful. Just thought it might be useful to post it again here: 1. Learn Python basics - syntax,scripting etc 2. Learn Linux sys-admin basics - Network admin, building servers, security, system recovery, automation etc. 3. Complete your Udemy course - Wordpress Server 4. Learn AWS 5. Learn Docker 6. Learn Terraform 7. Build projects (ongoing with above) 8. Apply for jobs Looking forward very much to the projects video thanks again!

The ops job I have now I got from building a basic AWS environment and show casing it in the interview. I'm not great at explaining myself so doing that showed I knew my stuff and I had something I could reference when being asked questions rather then having to think on the spot, good video !

This is literally the model I used to get into devops. Now granted I came from a Linux engineer role, so I didn’t spend much time on learning. Truth is, deep Linux admin skills won’t prevent you from getting a job, basics are enough. And sure enough right now all I’m doing is wrangling with pipelines and adapting to the environment methodologies and frameworks as mentioned lol. That list is on point though, great vid.

great point about the deep Linux knowledge, can't wait for the video about projects :)

I'm also a Devops engineer and, honestly... I feel that I never know enough of everything that I need. From the pipelines to the deploy, from using python and Node to Terraform and CF. From bash to whatever is needed. Every project seems completely new and extremely different from the previous. It's beautiful, scary and exciting at the same time. Enjoy the Neverending path of devops.

1. I had no idea you had Udemy course. It's in my cart now. 2. Looking forward to the next video.

Im a devops engineer and learnt from just being thrown into the deep end and having great mentors. Would say having an exceptional mentor is extremely important in devops as in the beginning phases you need guidance on how to do things 'well'. It gives you an eye for what is good and what can be improved and makes you think in different ways in how to improve the solutions to certain problems. As for learning python, in the past 2 years I've hardly used python besides when I had to fix a broken python package on a server and some serverless. I would say learning the basics of a cloud, building a strong knowledge in networking/infrastructure and having linux knowledge as well as bash are the most important fundamental skills to initially build off. DevOps is like being a jack of all trades. So you need to learn skills that will speed up the learning of everything else. As a lot of the time you will be working on something completely different than the previous.

Hey everyone, just discovered this awesome channel and I am really loving it. Just watching this video earned my respect through a like and a subscription. Keep up the good work in cultivating all DevOps engineers and I look forward to seeing more of your content.

Great video as always.Cannot wait for DevOps project video.

looking forward to the second part of this video. Great video!

Looking forward to the next video on devops projects.

I came from the opposite direction: Cisco networks -> Server[nix]/network admin -> devops -> to dev maintenance.

A great introduction to developing your creds to move into Systems Development. I would recommendations this advice for folks boind for both DevOps and IT Admins.

Heya David, Always nice to see your video🌠🌠

It'd be much appreciated if you would consider making a video about Moving from Ops to DevOps. All your content i've viewed has been excellent btw in painting pictures for someone like myself

What about moving from sysadmin to devops ? And is cloud infratsructure architect isn't like devops job ?

I am having a hard time putting all the things together . I learned jenkins , Ansible , Docker ,Docker Swarm can write some python automation scripts ..but don't exactly know how to use it all together.

Question for all you DEVS out there: I'm a "Devops" engineer who has NEVER had any dev experience (I started out as systems engineer). I want to know what DEV skills I can pick up to make myself better as a Devops engineer. I'm looking for more of higher level concepts , as it wouldn't make much sense for me to learn REACT, for example. Thanks!

I've been recruted for a system admin post, originaly i am a developer .. now i don't know where to start knowing that the old system admin of the company left .. so i don't know where to get help .. please help me .

Hello sir..I am working on Azure DevOps for the past 1.9 months before which I was a SharePoint developer. The current roles I am working on :- 1. Azure DevOps create CI-CD pipeline 2. Infrastructure as a code using ARM templates and bit of ansible script to provision the Apigee Edge server infrastructure. 3. Docker containerization and Kubernetes 4. Apigee edge and microgateway 5. Angular 7 coding and microservice using Nodejs I have a spaghetti role right now with not the entire focus on DevOps and I have no knowledge on Python and Terraform. Also I am not working on AWS. Can you please tell me what are the absolutely important skills I should learn. Also I am creating pipeline as a code using VSTS and not Jenkins

Off topic but i'm a drummer too and working as a DevOps Engineer. Just personal point of view but it really gets harder day by day to keep myself involved with materialistic Computer Science when i'm already exposed to divine music. Have you ever felt the same too?

Hope to see devops project suggestions

your videos are great keep it up man

Great video, have you ever thought about doing a moving from ops to devops?

I'm curious why people are wanting to switch.

Do you have a video about finding knowledge gaps in your skills and filling them in?

Hello sir, Sir I have knowledge of Networking and python programming language So for DevOps Do i need to study Data structure and algorithm??? One more Question will Cisco DevNet course useful to become DevOps Engineer??

Do you have any devops projects on Udemy?

if you can move from dev to devops could you then move in the other direction?

I have been trying to move from RHEL Linux ops position for a long time now to DevOps/SRE role even got 5 aws certs and completed like 5 coding courses but soon as any employer hears I do not code in my current job it's pretty much over.

Hi Dave, what are your recommendations to transition to a devops role for someone with Linux sys admin experience, average python scripting knowledge, working knowledge of aws cores services and a good understanding of how software technology works?

I think better than Terraform, Ansible is a better starter option, but thats just me

can you do a video from Linux admin to Linux engineer?

Hi how to start to use python in linux may be you now good resurse or book? Maybe you recomend good book about amazon?

Any good networking basics learning resource? With some hands on practice on linux too, if possible

Great video ( ps lets hear some drums)

I am a developer whose skills have become outdated and struggling to find software work. I had a dental software business for 15+ years that ended up losing too much money and I had to jump ship. I've been intrigued by DevOps and grinding away learning Kubernetes and AWS.. Do you think it would be too much of an uphill battle for me to find a DevOps job with 20 years of desktop app dev experience? I do have a few years of web experience, although not super heavy , but I have good understanding of full stack web dev too. I also keep hearing there is no such thing as a junior Dev Ops that it is a chicken and egg dilemma where you are expected to have professional experience before engaging in the career .

How much programming is it really required ? And do you need alghoritms or just scripts are enough ?

Can we interpolate AWS with AZURE in this video?

Guys, currently I am in a application support project with overall 5 years experience and I am not sure which domain I can choose to grow in this field, I know the basics of linux and sql, my day to day work is troubleshooting legacy application issue(don't need much knowledge to do 😁). Someone please advice how can I move now, is devops entry level job is good, if yes what are all the things I need to learn,

Hi I have 8 yrs of professional experience in developing Mobile application. Now I want change my domain to DevOps. Can you tell me is it rite to change domain now at this time of my career. Can I learn DevOps now ..

I neither have software development experience nor have experience with build tools. Im not a developer too, but I have good knowledge on linux and aws and a bit of python. Can i get into devops? Is devops only for developers?

Do i still need to learn python if i already know java?

Sorry but DevOps is not a Developer doing Ops

your web page certification expired yesterday, just warning you Great video as always Cheers

Dave you play drums?

Kubernetes?

here in my country.. before the "devops" jargon.. if you're a programmer, you should already knew about linux indepth.. basically semi one man show... lol..

There is no such thing as a junior DevOps engineer
