🚧🎓 The Ultimate DevOps Course 🎓 🚧(under construction)

In my many years working in the field, I have noticed a range of challenges and problems that people face when trying to start a DevOps, SRE, platform or cloud engineering career.

🔴The current challenges of careers in Tech - where to start ?

DevOps has its challenges:

• There is no simple starting point to start learning about DevOps
• DevOps requires a very broad range of skills that can be very overwhelming for new people to learn
• DevOps is often treated as "Dev" and "Ops" which means you need understanding of two very broad fields
• DevOps technologies are littered with buzz words, such as cloud, AI, machine learning, CI/CD, scalability, immutable infrastructure, automation, security and it never ends

Qualifications have its challenges:

• Universities or Colleges offer IT degrees or courses, which often only cover traditional & "legacy" IT knowledge.
• They do not cover real world challenges faced when working with the cloud, or working with popular open source technologies or modern challenges that businesses face these days
• These technologies are often evolving at a rapid pace and traditional Universities cannot keep up with these.

Cloud certifications have its challenges:

• Cloud certifications often only focus on a specific cloud provider which can build bias.
• Often only solve really specific problems, and miss real world problems
• Develop very narrow focussed problem solving skill
• Miss out on powerful open source skills
• Vendor locking: Often stuck only specialising in one vendor's product

📖 Where to find the full course

The course will have a free summarised and edited version which touches on each topic for you to get started so you can benefit from the roadmap
However, the YouTube videos are in shorter, edited, summarised form. So although you may benefit from the content, if you are a beginner, you may prefer the long form content where I elaborate, provider more in-depth explanations and cover more examples
The paid course will also provide some bonus content
