Starting My DevOps Journey

This technically isn’t my Day 1, as I started learning DevOps about 5 months ago. Now, I can confidently say I’m 5 months into my DevOps journey as part of my learning course.

Recently, I discovered Hashnode, which is booming, and I decided to start writing blogs on this platform. My goal is to document my day-to-day progress in learning DevOps. DevOps is incredibly fascinating to me, and I’m particularly drawn to cloud deployments and CI/CD workflows for GitHub repositories.

From this point on, I’ll be sharing blogs about my DevOps journey, purely for fun! I plan to provide insights into the challenges I face, how I tackle them, and my solutions. Additionally, I’ll be breaking down the step-by-step processes of everything I do.

Today, I completed a simple cloud deployment: I cloned a GitHub repository and deployed it on my AWS cloud instance. I’ve already documented the entire process in my previous blog.

One line that will always stick with me is:

ssh -i filename.pem ubuntu@ip addr

This is the command I use whenever I need to access my cloud instance, and I recommend making it part of your daily routine if you’re working with cloud infrastructure.

Today, I also brushed up on my networking fundamentals—IP addresses, ports, the OSI model, and more. Tonight, I’m planning to work on a complete, end-to-end DevOps project, and I’ll likely share that blog tomorrow.

See you all soon!
