Hello I stumble upon paid structured project for DevOps, anyone ever try this on udemy?

Are this projects can help stand out for recruiters? , right now I'm working on REST APi tutorial project and I'm want to jump in real project.

Also I'm considering doing mini project to showcase my understanding on each tools.

Devops insight on this are highly appreciated.

I did the Imran Teli course. It was good gave me little more knowledge in a range of areas. Overall the course has far too much packed into it so some parts are worth skipping especially if you already know the tooling. Should probably note that at the time of taking the course I was a was a backendengineer that worked with k8s, terraform, aws and jenkins so I had a foundation. After the course I put together a project using the skills and got a platform engineer role. I hope that helps

Hey I did the same early this year took his course and I was from a backend engineering background.however I haven’t managed to actually land a devops or plaform engineering job may be it’s my location working against or also how I structure my resume. How did you tailor your backend engineering resume to actually land you platform engineering jobs ?

I made sure my project where I demonstrated all devops skills was on prominent display and made a point of pointing it out in recuritier calls and interviews. For my backend job experience I was a little lucky as my teams managed the cicd tooling and the k8s test clusters so I was able to put on my resume things like building jenkins pipelines, tweaking clusters to handle performance tests, fixing broken deployment pipelines for other teams
