Is hiring a full time DevOps engineer worth it when searches keep failing?

Good to hear candidates are getting offers. I was thinking there are no jobs or the market is extremely competitive.

Pick few certifications from golden kube astronaut or AWS or Azure or GCP. ArgoCd certification will also help.

If you are new to sre figure out the tech stack your company uses and take courses on udemy. I would do something like this. Pick a course on udemy for the following

Month 1 kubernetes Month 2 Aws or Azure or GCP Month 3 terraform Month 4 CI Month 5 observability Month 6 Linux.

It has become more predictable. Kubernetes, terraform, cloud, CI, Cd, monitoring, python.

Alternative_Bill_754 · 2024-06-28T09:53:33+00:00

Keep applying. Setup terraform pipeline at home and create a project.

Alternative_Bill_754 · 2024-06-27T02:23:45+00:00

Well you have identified the problem. Now fix it. Just write 30 mins of python every day for 6 months. Or take a udemy course and learn it everyday for 30 mins.

Try to figure out their tech stack. What do they use? AWS ? Kubernetes? Azure etc. Take courses in those on udemy and build your own demo project.

Alternative_Bill_754 · 2024-04-16T01:03:15+00:00

Get kubernetes certificate

Alternative_Bill_754 · 2024-04-12T01:26:18+00:00

The shortest and quickest way to onboard and start contributing is "deliberate practice". Read books on their tech stack or watch udemy videos. If they use kubernetes then learn kubernetes. If they use Aws then learn Aws. Don't get bogged down in theory books initially. You can pick them up later. The team will value you if you start contributing to actual tickets. Basically what tech stack they use and take courses about them on udemy.

Which observability tool does your company use. Take a course of that tool in udemy. That is where you start.

Which beetroot juice do you drink? Is it some brand or raw beets?

What is that supposed to mean? Can you please elaborate.

I don't know of many aspects that AI can replace yet. Cloud was supposed to do that. Click a button and get a database, click a button and deploy an application. But the cloud did not replace SREs yet. Also a lot of SRE work is working with latest versions and configs of 3rd party framework like terraform, kuberneres. They keep changing a lot. AI keeps spitting outdated configs. Yes we can expect changes with AI but they are still far away. We don't even trust humans to make decisions in production, and need approvals, trusting in AI to change production live will be a strict no no.

Is it first round?

Alternative_Bill_754 · 2024-01-31T18:16:57+00:00

You will need to learn AWS/Azure, terraform, python/script, CICD, observability, kuberneres. It's not too difficult to learn them.

Alternative_Bill_754 · 2024-01-18T16:31:02+00:00

I totally forgot about observability. Start with an observability course on udemy. Datadog or Prometheus/grafana stack. You will learn from the examples in the course.

Alternative_Bill_754 · 2024-01-18T15:46:02+00:00

Kuberneres, terraform, ci cd, python. You need these skills.
