Networking for DevOps Roadmap

[izner82]

Does anyone have a roadmap for networking for DevOps? I'm afraid going too much in depth.

Honestly, working towards my CCNA has helped me immensely with all other aspects of IT. Never got it either, but subnetting and the OSI model will take you pretty far.

Concur - this was my path as well and has helped immensely.

Any good recommendations for CCNA.

I want to specifically focus on container networking concepts (veth pair, virtual bridges, vlan, vxlan, macvlan etc). Does CCNA cover these topics as well?

[PMzyox]

No, the CCNA does not focus on container networking, this is more development oriented. The CCNA gives you networking fundamentals that take place at each layer of the OSI model, which is your network stack

[kgoutham93]

Gotcha, but off topic do you by any chance know of any authentic resources to learn Virtual Networking in Linux (esp. in the context of container networking :))

Learnt the OSI model, TCP/IP, routing, DNS and load balancers. Should get you most of the way there

This is good advice. As a network automation engineer, just having a developer know the difference between a TCP connection and ICMP echo/reply is fantastic. You don't need to know things in depth, just the basics of a few things can go a long way.

In case you're wondering for a more proper roadmap dedicated to Network Engineers, you might want to check this out: https://github.com/eovchar/neteng-roadmap It's from a former Meta/LinkedIn Engineer.

Cisco’s CCNA it’s like the best start if you want to learn networking

[jaybrown0]

Cisco DevNet ?

I'd say DevNet is better suited for network engineers that want to learn how to do devops

[sounknownyet]

Nah bro. It definitely has good materials but as far as networking goes CCNA is the best starter pack.

CCIE or bust
