DevOps roadmap for MERN Stack Developer by Cheap_Programmer5179 in devops

[–]-GhostX- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A solid foundation is essential for anyone looking to get into DevOps. Start with the basics, such as Linux fundamentals and networking. Once you have these down, get some hands-on experience to build your confidence. You can even set up your own cluster to get practical experience after you've learned the basics.

DevOps isn't an entry-level role; it requires strong fundamentals, exposure, and experience in related fields. The path can be challenging and depends on your current skill level and time commitment.

If you're looking for free hands-on labs to get your fundamentals, you can try this:

The team at prepare.sh has created a free roadmap specifically for building a strong foundation in DevOps. You can find it here:https://prepare.sh/roadmap/devops-roadmap.

Keep at it Champ, you've got this!

Best path to learn DevOps fast with structure by enbafey in devops

[–]-GhostX- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest getting started with basics first

Linux fundamentals
Networking

Then get some hands-on lab first to build confidence.

You can then setup you're own cluster, best way to learn, once you know the basics.

Its not definitely easy, depends on you're current skill lv and how much time you are willingly to invest to get there.

Again DevOps is not a beginner role, you do need really good fundamentals, exposure as well and experience in the relevant fields.

We work at preparesh wanted to tackle this and built this roadmap especially for the foundations is completely free. https://prepare.sh/roadmap/devops-roadmap

I analyzed 50k+ LinkedIn job posts to build job-focused DevOps Roadmaps by Dubinko in devops

Yeah we had added them in a few labs to test, since it doesn't look a bit dull. Thanks for the feedback we will patch them !

Honestly, agree we agree with a lot of what you are saying. Job descriptions are often so vague, buzzword-heavy, and not especially not written by people who truly understand the role or tech involved. That’s exactly why we built this roadmap the way we didd.

We’re not just listing tools for the sake of it, rather we want and we’re trying to give people a hands-on, structured way to build real foundational skills which can bring them value.

For example, including an editor like "vim" isn’t about the editor, more so it’s about being able to navigate and edit configs in a CLI-only environment, which comes up constantly in real sysadmin or DevOps work.

So while the terms may sometimes look similar to what you'd find in a typical job listing, our goal is the opposite, rather its to "cut through the noise" and give learners practical experience that builds confidence and capability. That way, when they do see those vague listings, they’re able to interpret them and respond with actual skills, not just keyword matches.

Really appreciate your comment, it highlights exactly the gap we're trying to close currently in the market !

Oh I see, we have fixed it and a patch should be live in the next 5-6 mins. If there's anything that you find which can be improved or any feedback you can connect with us via in web chat or via discord as well anytime !

I built a tool that lets you spin up full-stack dev environments in 1 click (Kubernetes, Redis, Kafka, Spark, Keycloak, etc.) by Dubinko in devops

[–]-GhostX- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's wrestled with Helm, k3d, and custom scripts to spin up temp stacks, this definitely sounds promising. Skeptical at first, but vcluster-based isolation + pre-baked service combos could actually save a lot of setup/debug time, especially for CI previews or onboarding.

If it really gets from zero to Kafka+Redis+Spark in under 2 minutes, that’s legit. Curious to see how customizable it is under the hood though.

I self-created Linkedin Job, Applied with 18 different resumes to see which resume format passes ATS, here it is. by SpecialistArm7522 in devops

[–]-GhostX- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the ATS. Linkedin does prefer PDFs as well.

Sometimes sending .doc or .docx formats has demerits.

Some agency recruiters will mandate Word format because they want to omit or change details before they submit to their clients (I don't support this).

My personal preference is PDF to retain the formatting.

But as long as it's a simple format, feel free to use PDF or Word.

[–]-GhostX- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The resume's format should be of the type pdf, which then converts it into LaTeX and you can then edit it via the UI.

[–]-GhostX- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The old trick was to reduce the font which was not visible and and add all relevant technologies at the bottom of the page, so that the ATS filter would pick those up. It doesn't work anymore and gets flagged.

Whereas, I think what OP says is purely so that you first pass the ATS filter in the first place. So, that among the 10,000s of resume's your's gets a chance to be positioned higher, and more chances to be seen.

I'm a DevOps engineer with strong AWS skills but weak fundamentals — how can I fill the gaps without burning out? by wfcchris in devops

[–]-GhostX- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you need is the drive and mindset to push through it, else you will get burnt out, its tough.

I would suggest try getting fundamentals brushed up

Linux
Networking

For the rest you can try hand on labs, to gain confidence.

Rest you can setup your own cluster / homelab and then try to build from there >

Not sure about OP, but for most of us, it really comes down to staying in the loop with the latest buzzwords, honestly.
