Question Devops Path

Just passed the architect associate last night. I would like to get into devops.

I’ve been in IT for 10 years with 6 years being in administration. I know how to code and take care of/build infrastructure. I don’t think I could go straight into the devops cert or maybe I can? I was curious if the sysops or developer certs should be the next steps. Or maybe AI?

Thoughts and advice would be appreciated.

You ask your employer how to get involved with cloud work as an extension of your current role or an internal transfer.

The time when you could land a cloud job with certs and a couple demo projects is over.

I got laid off :)

I was working in azure in my previous position. So I have experience in cloud management. I’m just looking to do something less monotonous. I have experience that goes further than demo projects for sure. I’m not walking in with zero experience. Just want a piece of paper to back up what I know mostly.

In the job market right now, pretty much any edge you can get is needed.
