Hello, fellow tech enthusiasts!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve embarked on an exciting journey to become a DevOps engineer. As I navigate through this transformative path, I want to bring you along and offer a roadmap that will guide both beginners and experienced professionals in mastering DevOps. Whether you're just starting or looking to refine your skills, this roadmap will help you understand the essential steps and tools needed to succeed in the DevOps landscape.

What is DevOps?

DevOps is a cultural and technical movement that aims to unify software development (Dev) and software operations (Ops). Its goal is to improve collaboration and productivity by automating infrastructure, workflows, and continuously measuring application performance.

My DevOps Roadmap

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you on your DevOps journey:

  1. Programming Language = Python and Go-Lang

  2. About Git, OS

  3. Server Administration

    i. Linux (V.V.I)

    ii. Unix System (V.V.I)

    iii. Windows

  4. Networking and Security = TCP/IP, Protocols

  5. Servers

    i. Web Servers = Apache(V.V.I), Ngin (V.V.I), Tomcat

    ii. Caching = Redis, Mem Cache

    iii. Databases(V.V.I)

    a. SQL = MySQL, Postgrace

    b. No SQL = MongoDB, AWS, Dynamo DB, Datastore, GCP

  6. Infrastructure as Code

    i. Configuration Management = Ansible, Puppet
