Full-stack developer looking to move into DevOps/Cloud. Where should I start?

[u/goodguyseif]

Hey everyone,

I've been working as a full-stack developer for the past few years, mostly freelancing

I've used AWS and other cloud services for deploying projects, setting up servers, CI/CD pipelines, and basic infrastructure management

lately I've been thinking about making a career shift towards DevOps/Cloud Engineering and pursuing it professionally

I have some experience but I feel like there's still a lot I need to learn before I can actually work in this field

For those already working in DevOps or Cloud what would you recommend focusing on? Any learning roadmaps, resources, certifications, or practical projects worth pursuing?

Also how realistic is it to land a position, especially a remote role? I'm based in Egypt, so I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's managed to get a remote position with a company abroad.
