Want to 100x your value as a software engineer? 💸👇

[00:00] Software developers have a hidden [00:02] advantage when it comes to DevOps. So, [00:05] let me show you the fastest transition [00:08] path to DevOps if you are a software [00:10] engineer. So, you already have the [00:12] hardest part, programming logic and [00:15] problem solving. And here's the part [00:17] that you are missing. First, Linux and [00:20] cloud fundamentals. You need to [00:22] understand operating systems in general. [00:25] And on top of that, you can learn how [00:26] cloud providers work. Once you have [00:28] this, next you're going to dive into [00:30] infrastructure as code. Infrastructure [00:33] as code for you will feel very familiar [00:36] because you are basically coding [00:38] infrastructure instead of applications. [00:40] Learning Terraform is just functions and [00:42] modules and you will pick this up very [00:45] fast. After that, you're going to dive [00:48] into CI/CD pipelines. you understand the [00:51] concepts of how it works, why it's [00:53] needed because it literally runs and [00:56] builds the code that you write. So you [00:58] have daily interaction with it. The next [01:00] one is Kubernetes and containerization [01:03] with Docker. Conceptually simple, [01:05] operationally complex. Just one month of [01:08] focus on how to take your Docker [01:11] application and deploy it to Kubernetes [01:13] and scale it up or down should be enough [01:16] for you to really understand practically [01:19] how these technologies work. And your [01:21] advantage is that you understand [01:23] application architecture, APIs, [01:26] scalability concerns which are things [01:28] that DevOps engineers from, let's say [01:30] CIS admin backgrounds struggle with. Now [01:33] there is one part that will be a little [01:36] bit more challenging for you than let's [01:38] say for systems administrators which is [01:40] monitoring, logging, incident response. [01:43] But if you cover those skills as well, [01:46] then you're going to have a all complete [01:48] well-rounded skill set that will make [01:50] you 100 times more valuable than having [01:53] the traditional software engineering [01:56] skills even as a senior software [01:58] engineer. So we are realistically [02:00] looking at just a few months of diving [02:02] into those tools in the right sequence [02:05] to completely upgrade your engineering [02:08] skill set. And I know for a lot of you [02:10] even those few months can be difficult [02:13] because of a full-time job or [02:14] responsibilities. So, you may want to [02:16] compress this timeline even further, [02:19] which is understandable because you want [02:20] to use your time efficiently and upgrade [02:23] your skills in the fastest, least [02:26] resistant way possible, which is a valid [02:29] concern. And that's exactly why for a [02:32] short period of time, we are offering [02:34] free calls where we help you identify [02:38] your specific gaps and create a [02:40] sequential learning plan that you can [02:43] follow. Our spots get booked out pretty [02:46] fast, so make sure to grab your spot and [02:49] really take advantage of that. The link [02:51] for the call is going to be in the [02:52] comments or in the bio.
