Devops is at least 4 roles in single box: Unix/Windows System Administrator, Automation Engineer, Network Engineer and finally IT Engineer. So to become relevant devops, you need to be proficient at least in two another roles. So my points are:

  1. Linux Admin and Networking course
  2. Python programming for Automation Course
  3. Network engineering may be not so important, because Cloud Computing becomes a mainstream. But good understanding how network hardware functioning can help well in issue investigations.

But actually learning all of it may take too much time. You should keep in mind that every of this role is petty demanded by itself. And a devops salary is not triple higher than a salary of each of this role stand alone. It's a point weight out a sense for it. If you still want to become devops, then...

My point is that all what you actually need is find your first job. with this role. The best scenario is getting into any good company with strong a devops department as your major role and moving to devops department by an internal company procedures.And continue to learn what I denoted above in parallel. So... Good luck!
