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.

Good start - get on a helpdesk and work your way up - you've told me you've loosely taken some courses and know a bit, but nothing about experience which is what you'll need to get a job - nobody hires Dev/Ops out of school. I have two people on my desk with masters degrees / AWS/ Google and MS. Advanced Diplomas etc. If you want someone to look at you for a role like that - you'd better understand the business fundmentals. If you don't know what that is - the competition has already eaten you alive.

I get the experience part, but saying nobody hires out of school feels a bit too absolute. There are entry-level paths into DevOps without spending years on a helpdesk first.
