How I Started My DevOps Journey as a Final-Year CS Student (Tier-4 College)

In a college where DevOps isn't even a subject, I decided to take control of my career. Here's how I started my journey into Git, Linux, and real-world DevOps — even before placements began.

🧠 Why DevOps?

I’ve never been passionate about building apps, but I love systems, automation, and tools that make development faster. That’s how I discovered DevOps.

🎯 My Plan

• Learn Git, Linux, Cloud & DevOps from scratch

• Build public proof (GitHub, blog, LinkedIn)

• Apply for jobs/internships + build freelancing skills

• Target remote or abroad roles

💻 Week 1 Progress

• ✅ Learned Linux CLI, navigation, file systems

• ✅ Mastered Git basics — init, commit, push

• ✅ Started publishing blogs (like this one!)

• ✅ Building in public with the #LazyStack brand

🛠️ Tools I Used

• LabEx (virtual Linux practice)

• VS Code (Windows)

• Git + GitHub

• Notion (for my learning tracker)

💬 What’s Next?

Shell scripting, AWS basics, Docker… and more blogs from my DevOps path.

I’m documenting this journey to help other students like me — no IIT, no fancy degrees, just consistent learning.
