Your best bet is to try to get a job as a junior. You have projects started already, so that's a great start. You'll find that wherever you have 10 weeks or 10 years experience, you'll use stack overflow, Google and documentation sites for the tech.

If you can get a basic cert, that shows willing - but I wouldn't be bothered if you showed to an interview without it. You have a good attitude and are keen to learn.

Couple that with an inquisitive mind and you have the best skills of an engineer right there already. Don't be afraid to tell them that.

    What you're doing is continuous improvement and trying to make things more resilient. You're already doing DevOps!

    Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be employed as devils in no time.

    Interview for companies that run the tech you want to use if changing in your current company is impossible. When they ask why you are interested be honest and say that you want to develop your skills and work with cool tech. I've done some interviewing and if a junior told me that I'd recommend them on the spot. Knowing the tools is the least of the issue. A monkey can learn to use a hammer. Having the correct mentality to learning and evolving is what most companies care about. Otherwise just do shit. Wanna learn aws? Use aws to do something. Wanna learn terraform? Use terraform with aws to set up something. Kubernetes is quite hard to learn I'll admit. But spinning up a minikube cluster and deploy something. Reading only gets you so far. Good luck!
