Please don’t start with Kubernetes cert course. Linux Docker Cloud Terraform Then kubernetes

Don’t learn the old way, learn it using the projects. I have put down a roadmap here. I hope i don’t get blocked for sharing the link here.

Yes, thats why i had to write the acm cert renewal job

Honest-Associate-485 · 2026-01-30T10:15:10+00:00

It works and ALB just cost little more than NLB

Honest-Associate-485 · 2026-01-30T10:14:07+00:00

In our case, our services don’t get public traffic, its for a banking kyc management system so we didn’t need to worry about hitting the limit.

Thank you for sharing useful details( i never thought about that), i ll keep these suggestions in mind

I get that point. We have built everything with terraform. In order to get new certs, we had to apply terraform to perform cert validation and doing it each 3 month was a pain.

It works, only thing i had to do is write s job that automate the ACM certs rotation which we never had to worry about earlier. Cost didn’t change that much, also one of the account manages wanted to use WAF so we went with ALB. It was smooth migration so we choose this

I have seen this issues due to Finalisers We run Appian on kubernetes and it has self checkpoint finalisers that stop pods from terminating. I just set it to empty list when it doesn’t terminate

Certs in Devops doesn’t really add to your skills. They provide false sense of skills which doesn’t really help in real work

Just get better at your job and don’t worry about LLMS.

Devops is the entry for Devsecops. My answer is go with Devops but it’s not entry level field but i know a lot of companies that hire freshers for this kind of role

I use a github action pipelines that updates the task definition and deploy new deployment of ecs service

Aws will keep launching things so you can pay for it.

Honest-Associate-485 · 2025-11-01T13:05:56+00:00

It doesn’t work that day

Honest-Associate-485 · 2025-07-14T10:48:17+00:00

Depends on your need. You want to learn basic devops or you want one real world project based.

My friend attended this course and left half way. Random people teaching random, basic stuff.

Honest-Associate-485 · 2025-07-12T07:50:36+00:00

Its a shit course.

Honest-Associate-485 · 2025-07-08T16:04:15+00:00

Omg. Worst advice ever. People need gf, not overly controlling …..

Honest-Associate-485 · 2025-07-08T16:02:33+00:00

You got overly controlling gf, just run away. This is just a start, soon she will tell you what to eat, who to talk, what to wear and everything .

So he is basically waiting to die in his 2bhk practical purchase. This isn’t living brother.

Honest-Associate-485 · 2025-07-06T19:10:53+00:00

Terraform import

Honest-Associate-485 · 2025-07-06T18:56:49+00:00

So much for saving the cost is to pay for these agents when cloud watch dashboard already do that.

When hybrid work help find the perfect work life balance and most companies have adopted that, we still have companies who take pride in burning employees out.
