You all know that DevOps is already very popular and highly demanded. You see organizations adopting it worldwide and it seems like a great career choice with lots of job opportunities, high salary and generally a very rewarding work.

- what are the qualities and characteristics you should have if you want to get into DevOps,
- what kind of thinking and approach is required in DevOps
- which soft skills as well as technical skills you need to have
- and finally what are some challenges of being a DevOps engineer.
- And if at the end of the video you do find out and decide that DevOps is indeed for you, I will also show what next steps you can take to get into DevOps.

As a Sr. DevOps engineer this hits the nail on the head about the role and the skills required to be successful. Great video! 👏🏽🙌🏽

Thanks Nana. As usual you can explain complex things in clear terms.From 6:48, she touches a very important point. It is "easy" to identify tools that can help and areas that takes time, but to change it, if not only depending on you, the hard work (communication) starts. Conflicting interesting, constant changes from management, vendors, other teams, is a big challenge.

Wow. Devops Engineer here. Was refusing to watch this video as i felt there wont be anything for me to gain here. Watched it and kinda surprised with everything you said. No one could have explained it better than you. Right to the point with details where needed.

[Ansarshadan]

Wanted to be Devops engineer! And I took it as a challenge. You're my inspiration nana! God bless you nana. 🙏

Very good video! I’m a RoR developer and I’m very happy specializing even more for the time being. I do enjoy creative solutions and teamwork, but using Ruby every day makes me really happy, I don’t know if spending time learning dozens of tools and integrating them together would feel as much fun to me even if I do enjoy efficiency in everything I do

[KRICHAN_Technologies]

Hi Nana... You are one of best real DevOps professional and helpful for many of folks like me in influencing how to learn the technology and how to apply in real time.

[steveluengo]

As a DevOps Engineer...this was spot on. Always enjoy your videos Nana. Thanks.

[adamgardner]

I have been a lead mobile engineer for the last few years, getting bored with it. I want to thank you as you are helping me make a career shift. Love your work and your videos. Thanks again!

[kiannec]

I want to be a Devops engineer and this really helped me and I’m so greatful that I found ur YouTuber channel god bless you nana🙌it means a lot to me👏

[softwaretestinglearninghub]

Thank you for this explanation, many of my friends don't know much about this position. Will be sharing your video with them.

[JamesChanceWIlson]

I've enrolled in Nana's bootcamp, and it truly is excellent. She breaks everything down in detail, and explains complicated concepts in a concise manner that is easy to follow. The videos are visually stimulating and engaging, there are challenging exercises to make sure you understand the material (in the premium version), and projects to showcase your knowledge. I'm making steady progress through the exercises and have learned a lot, yet at the same time taking my time to make sure I really learn and internalize the material. Highly recommended!

Great video Nana ! Perfect vision of the DevOps role 👌

[istvan]

Thank you very much! I'm a test automation engineer and would like to learn devops. Your videos are extremely helpful!

[MattCorrDev]

As a DevOps specialist, this is a great video for people considering whether focusing on DevOps is the right path for them. It covers all the main attributes you need to do well.
You certainly need more proactive drive and attention to high and low-level detail than your average developer or operations support person.

[vinodghate]

Hello Nana, I follow your videos mostly and are very helpful in my learning! this one is also one of the best and motivating to be a devops engineer. I think you should also consider my request to clarify how devops engineer and devops architect and cloud architect are different or related. I hope to see ones of that type. Thanks for the video.
