so much knowledge and many tools need to be learned, and those are just for beginners.It is not a easy journey to become a Devops engineer

[jhcv]

REAL LIFE SCENARIO: after overcoming the basics, you'll start learning the rest all at once, because all those tools work together in the cloud

[desmondbwhite]

People who says it’s not easy to become a Devops engineer probably didn’t have the correct roadmap to do so. The word isn’t hard, it’s more time consuming than anything. You just have to be consistent in learning and allowing your brain to absorb concept to the point where you can teach it.

[htondkar]

Compaines ask for all these skills on top of a fullstack skill set + leadership and soft skills + 10 years of experience + so many other things, for a position with average pay. It’s insane.

For someone who doesn't know programming, can i start right away my journey to devops eng? And how much time i must invest to learn something and eventually land a job?

[TobiasHaaga]

We are automating this process at the company I am working at so that developers can deploy without having devops knowledge

[jj]

Is devops good are to transition after learning

[PCB]

Ok ok I'm not bad, I do have knowledge on all these, except monitoring.
But my current level on each stack is basic to medium.
Should I aim for be a jack of all trades master of none?

[cyberpsion]

Me went from basic across the monitoring section 😆
Jk, studying not always in sequential.

[naynapatil]

Can you please tell how long will it take to learn from scratch?.

[Kavita.Janoti]

Hi brother. I want to ask if I can do bca in data science and learn programming. I will turn 26 this year, but due to addictions I dropped out of btech in third year. I completed my schooling in 2016.

[marcuscedars]

How do I get started?
Is it for free?

[saurabhsingh]
