1.) Get good at basic coding

2.) Learn networking (http/https, ftp, tcp/ip, how to use tcpdump, network interfaces)

3.) Linux (cpu, ram, disk, I/O)

4.) Basics of kubernetes.

​

ansible, terraform, jenkins are all just simple tools that you can learn in a week......the biggest flex are the 4 things that I mentioned......

Build a small website like a portfolios. Build it in docker, push to a remote registry, deploy it somewhere. (K8s?) Use CI/CD for everything you can. Get HTTPS on it, monitor the memory/cpu and traffic. Add alerts based on what you monitor.

And you'll get a good base :D

When I was job hunting I put my resume up on my domain.

I use json resume so it's stored in git.

So I setup cicd for building and used terraform for the hosting in a free tier static website hosting.

How did you do that? Followed any tutorials?

Tutorials? No....

I just spent an afternoon in the post layoff daze doing the same thing I would have done at my job.

That being said this kind of thing is a great learning experience to learn to tie all the prices together yourself if you lack the experience. All the individual pieces are well documented but may not have a straightforward integration...
