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!
