Kindly let us know what to freelance in devOps doesn't hold some weight in freelance domain?
until your company only changes infrastructure after 10pm 7 nights a week. your sleep turns to 2 hours here, 2 hours there.
yeah contribute to documentation , if doing it at work isn't enough , Jesus I'm so tired of this, second place and what you're asked to do is "yeah check out the documentation and get a feeling of what might be missing in it and what is actually done regularly by the team but not documented"
Congrats! I am a note taker, in the early stages of my studying I take notes, and review them later on.
What cloud provider should I focus on? Azure or AWS, where are the jobs ?
May vary depending on location. I would say generally there tends to be higher demand for AWS professionals but have a look at job boards in your area and see where the demand is.
@@homebrewhenry I've seen a lot of Azure and AWS, i'ts hard to see which one is most in demand here in Sweden. Seems like most companies using Microsoft solutions.
Great video thanks
I passed CCP exam in February 2024, and since Late April I started preparing for Developer Associate. One thing I struggle the most with is consistency. I work a non-tech role and want to switch to Cloud & Devops eventually, I hope that I become more consistent in studying rather than the bursts of studying that way I can complete this course and pass the certification exams.
You’re right, consistency is key! Good luck.
Sounds like a good step forward for me being in a Kubernetes support role as learing is pretty much my second nature.
Glad to hear it!
I completely agree with that reddit post at 2:35. The drive to teach yourself is one of the most crucial skills for cloud beginners. I mentor a lot of cloud beginners who and I'm always surprised when they say they need someone to hold their hands and keep them accountable. My thought is always you should be self motivated and be willing to think outside the box to be successful in this industry Thanks for the quality video :)
Thanks
I am working in good leading mnc in india.. and I got placed in 2021.. but then I got only azure devops related work like pipelines , spn secrets renewal task.. now I am completing 2.9 yrs here.. but my main job was .net dev .. now what should I do ? Should I go and continue in devops work ? Or should I go for .net role ? I feel both are time taking work.. no work life balance.. what should I do😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I felt like going towards data analytics may be good.. but chatgpt and other saturation things in that field made it tough to get jobs after certain experience.. what should I do ! Please please please please please help me... Please....if I get good guidence I will atleast reduce my overthinking and will work.. currently I m learning azure platform and docker ... Please suggest me what should I' do.. my interest wasn't IT but due to family background and need of money I started working here.
Also I find okay I f I do dedicatedly might be it can happen in good way .
What’s the main problem with your current job? Why do you want to leave? It’s important to think about what’s important to you and what your interests are. This sounds like a decision that only you can make.
Devops by itself is comprised of many fields. I always tell my friends in networking that they should reinvent themselves as soon as possible since the legacy network engineer is going to dissappear soon (only big organizations with private DC will have jobs for them). Devops is a good direction, but for network people you should really aim for SRE or cloud infrastructure
"legacy network engineer is going to disappear soon" How sure are you about that?
networking certifications provided by the networking device makers is a business in itself , your statement will be true only if the AI will get so good to actually do the work easily AND be as profitable as selling the said trainings/courses/certifications etc.
4:05 Could you make a video on a roadmap you would give for learning DevOps?
Yes will look to cover this in future videos - stay tuned.
DevOps isn't an "entry level" job. It's where you go after you've been something like a junior developer and/or junior sysadmin moving up the career ladder. It is more of a mid-to-senior position just like how SRE isn't an entry level position either, it is where you go as you move up from a junior position. Nothing wrong with that. After all you don't get your MD and skip being a junior doctor and become a consultant or registrar either. I was doing DevOps before we called it DevOps. I was a hybrid developer and sysadmin within the company. Then we moved to cloud services rather than on-prem or self-managed data centre based servers. I was a senior system administrator and then a Solution Architect for a large blue chip company when we reorganised the titles and we renamed positions to the more modern titles of SRE and DevOps Engineer, etc. So the reality is a DevOps Engineer/SRE is the "new" title of a Senior System's Administrator/Integration Specialist with production ownership and responsibilities, etc. Not things you would put on a junior employee straight out of college.
Very true
Huh? With tools like Terraform and Wing there's no reason why a junior engineer can't be part of the devops team. From all the internal tools you develop for product teams to managing infrastructure junior devs can contribute to all of that. As far as prod is concerned all teams are responsible for prod. Devops is just one of many teams. Unless you're doing a large complicated manual process (why) then you can easily have junior devs just like with any other team.
@@nestharus Oh for sure you could have a "Junior DevOps Engineer" role. And I have seen such positions from time to time. However generally when you see a DevOps position advertised they're looking for someone with experience at mid-level or usually senior level. Someone who has a few years of real world use of Terraform, Anisible and development in Golang, etc. building deployed solutions. These are things you just don't really find in a fresh graduate and so we see more junior positions as either system administrators or developers with some cross over to develop DevOps skills. It's not a knock at graduates of course, it is just that "DevOps" isn't all that well defined across the industry. Many companies (and by that I mean management) don't fully understand (or care much) the difference between dev and ops sides of things, to them it is all just technical stuff with strange words like git and terraform and CI/CD. Whereas they have a bit of a better understanding of "software developer" and "system administrator" roles. When I first started working in IT back in 2001 DevOps didn't exist. There was no "cloud". All our servers were either in a dedicated server room on site or in a data centre. Many things transitioned to VMs yet remained either on-prem or in a DC. Then things moved to the cloud and a whole new skill set of rapid deployment and scalability emerged as hardware was no longer a hard limit that required speccing up, ordering, delivery, setup and deployment. It became a budget meeting then a few clicks in AWS (or whatever you use) and you could scale away to your hearts content without having to worry about buying a dozen new servers (massive CapEx hit) and all the baggage that comes with ownership of the hardware. If things change you are left with hardware doing nothing whereas doing if things change you just scale back down. Anyway I am writing an essay now so I will stop 😁 I do agree with you is my point, it is just that the industry and specifically management hasn't really caught up fully as DevOps can mean many different things in different companies and so when a company says they want a DevOps engineer what they're (usually) saying is they want a senior person with a lot of experience to save them money and build them more reliable infrastructure. These are things they don't feel comfortable hiring a fresh grad for but rather someone with a good 3-5 years experience under their belt.
"After all you don't get your MD and skip being a junior doctor" No such thing as a junior doctor.
@@shameermulji perhaps not where you live but in the UK there certainly is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_doctor
+ Plus some language barriers for non Native english speakers here in the UK
Devops isn't an entry level position, same as cyber security. Hence no entry level jobs
Bring back the time when people were Devs before they were devops
If you could share your Anki cards that would be awesome :)
Sorry, I think it’s much better for your own understanding if you make your own notes. My ones will be very specific to my knowledge and may not make sense for everyone. I have a video on how to make Anki notes for AWS exams if you need more info.
Infrastrucre and cloud engineers and system admins should do that role. NOT developers. I think faang companies do not understand the differences and want 1 man to wear 3 hates
so i m a devops engineer your videos are affraiding me that should i continue on this field i also have interest in backend development
Please don’t feel discouraged by this video. That wasn’t the intention. It’s an educational video of some common misconceptions. In answer to your question - personally, I think you will do better if you pursue something that you have more of an interest in.
Great tips, can you do a video on potential business opportunities in cloud
Thanks, what kind of business ideas do you mean?
Excellent. I may rewatch this when i have a discouraging day. Thank you for a much appreciated realistic explanation
Bro, can you suggest me a roadmap for devips and cloud. In the market are they two different roles or one As cloud is a subset of devops
It really depends on the company. There is certainly overlap between the 2 roles but the exact day-to-day and responsibilities will vary.
Then what are entry level jobs. I want to become a Devops engineer. i am just graduating my major
I have a video coming soon about this. It’s not that there are NO entry level DevOps jobs, but that it’s much harder to find than other related jobs. If you’re passionate about it, it’s definitely possible to find one. Don’t let this completely discourage you.
Cloud Engineer is for sure a great role! Great video!
Thanks! Big fan of your channel! Great AWS related resources.
@@homebrewhenry Thank you 🙏
3:28 you got me 🤣🤣🤣
How do we connect. Starting my journey in AWS and need to be mentored
I do my best to answer general questions in TH-cam comments. For more specific tailored advice, you can book a 1-1 consultation.
every mf wants to be a youtuber even though they have very high skillled and well paying jobs seems very far fetched that you actually like your job very
Why does doing TH-cam mean I don’t like my job? I like doing TH-cam. I like my job too.
@@homebrewhenry yea keep telling that
What programming languages do you use
Terraform (more of a tool than a language) and Python mainly.
@@homebrewhenry thanks
in 2018 I googled "highest paying tech jobs in US" and number 1 was devops engineer, since then I spent 2 years learning devops, got hired as a junior and now i've been doing this since. my linkedin inbox is always full of messages with jobs. i was lucky to learn AWS and Azure as well as IAC and other technologies, which made me very valuable to companies. i was also lucky to like it alot, i tried programming and didnt like it that much.
Do you get a monitor or do you have to hunch over a MacBook Pro like most SaaS developers?
Depends on the company tbh.
Hello fellow Henry, I shall give you a like! Not just because your name is Henry, but also because this was a great video! Have a good one bro
Haha thanks Henry, appreciate the support.
Amazing video, you'll definitely grow very big very soon! Rooting for you :))
Thanks man, appreciate it.

I am in dinema , what i have to choose Python developer vs DevOps Engineer Could you please help me as career wise, growth and that too that technologies need to in long term .. what i have to choose ..please help me.. in future how is DevOps engineer
They are different roles with different responsibilities. I would suggest reading more about each one and seeing which one you have more of an interest in. You can use this video as a reference for what you could expect as a DevOps engineer.
can we have your anki notes ?
I think this kind of defeats the point of trying to learn the material first. My notes will be unique to my knowledge (and lack of knowledge). In the long term, I think it will be much better to write your own notes in your own words.
Hi , great contents . Thnks alot for shading light on things a beginner may not be very familiar with. My question is , as a total beginner without much knowledge on sw engineering and development, Can I just start learning AWS and devop and grow through going forward?
I don't think you need to know a lot about software engineering to be able to learn AWS. IT knowledge would be more important.
he said he talked me out of a devops engineer, but his demeanor is friendly, smiling, and is breaking down it's format very well?
Thanks?
This video is a GEM 💎
Honestly, these challenges exist in pretty much every IT job, not just DevOps.
You’re right, there’s a lot of overlap.
I too started my devops journey recently, you are 100 % right, task over task make us don't stay focused
Nice
Hey everyone, I've been presented with an opportunity: a scholarship where I wouldn't have to pay for anything to transition into a full-fledged DevOps role. However, it requires a commitment of two years at their workplace. I'm torn about whether it's worth pursuing. I'm essentially starting from scratch; I currently work as a full-time English teacher, but I've always had a passion for computers, gaming, and technology. Despite this, I've never pursued it professionally. Now, at the age of 32 and still single, I've decided to switch careers to either QA or DevOps. QA seems a bit mundane, and there's the added expense of courses. On the other hand, DevOps doesn't require any upfront payment, but I'd have to commit intensely for five months straight, five days a week. The catch is, if I take this scholarship, I'll have to quit my current job. Besides, I only have one try at the final test; otherwise, I'll have to wait for another year to apply again, which is a significant risk. So, I'm reaching out for your input. Do you think it's worth taking the leap, or is it better to pass on this opportunity? I'd greatly appreciate your insights, especially from those who already have experience in the DevOps field. Thanks in advance for your advice!
Great video, thanks.
A short collection of wonderful tips, covers a lot of ground! thanks. I have an unrelated question, is that an NYC accent? I'm just curious and find it a bit fascinating
Glad it’s been helpful, it’s a British accent
@@homebrewhenryOhh I hear it now! thanks, and hoping to see more cloud/devops content from you. Best of wishes!
I work as consulting devops at a company. So most of my work is just projects at some other companies. Almost no fires to put out. It's amazing. I guess in-house devops get the most burn.
Sounds like a good role!
great video!
Tech champ 😊
❤
Pls i gave just started DevOps classes with know programming background pls waht lvl and which programming languages do i need to know
I’d recommend taking a look at roadmap.sh/devops for an overview. Short answer, I’d focus on Python for a start.
thanks very much cuz the course am taking said coding was not needed but what i saw online is different
can you share the git repo you mentioned in the video?
Good point, i've added to video description.
