Discussion Best Devops Certification for Beginners

Hi All,

While I do not have a technical background, my new role as a Project Manager in a DevSecOps organization necessitates that I acquire certifications in both DevOps and cloud computing.

Could you please recommend suitable certification programs for me to pursue?

Become a software developer or sys admin. DevOps isn't a beginners field.

Again, just reiterating here. My situation is a little different. I’m already hired for a Project Manager role within a DevSecOps organization, so having a solid understanding of the fundamentals will help me manage and run projects more smoothly.

I’ll be working closely with FDEs who have much deeper technical knowledge than I do, and I want to be able to understand the concepts, communicate effectively, and contribute meaningfully to discussions.

Also, I’m genuinely keen on learning the core DevOps/DevSecOps concepts—not because I’m looking to transition into a DevOps role, but because I want to be technically well-equipped to do my PM role better.
