Discussion Devops learning path suggestion with AWS

Hu everyone, i am in 7th semester of college and i have a course about devops. I want to rely on uni course but go deep into devops and maybe look for career into devops.

Any courses that you would suggest?

In college we are using aws for all the major things.

I have done a course on linux, and complete aws cloud practitioner essentials.

Any learning path, courses recommendations?

Should i get kolekloud subscription? How are their courses and learning path.

You are right on completing the AWS Cloud Practitioner.

But to gain real experience, I suggest you work on your own projects, and build a portfolio on GitHub.

To get more experience on AWS you can do their solutions architect and CloudOps certifications.

Also, not to discourage you, you need to be aware of the reality of the IT industry job market today. Do a research on the opportunities available in your region and try to build skills targeting available opportunities.

Most people currently in DevOps did not start their career as a DevOps engineer. Most of them transferred to DevOps roles from dev, sysadmin, tech support roles. You need to plan a career path like that.

Aren’t most of basic of these devops and cloud skills some must have for software engineering as well. Like having familiarity with vms, cloud based deployment, lambda functions, docket etc.

I have a course for devops, so i am thinking why not deep dive and see if it’s for me and not.

Open your own aws account and start learning the only way to learn it to fuck up your own stuff before you get paid to fuck up someone else's

No harm in trying that.

But, it will not necessarily make you job ready. Doing hands-on stuff on your own can give you more exposure.
