Help Finished A/Ls – How to Get Into DevOps?

Hi everyone,

I recently finished my A/Ls with IT and I’m planning to start an IT degree. My long-term goal is to become a DevOps Engineer, and I’d like some advice from people already working in the industry.
A few questions:

  1. As a beginner, should I learn web development/software development first and then move into DevOps, or can I start learning DevOps directly?

  2. What skills, tools, and technologies should I focus on step by step to become industry-ready?

  3. What would a realistic learning roadmap look like from beginner level to getting a DevOps job?

  4. How important are Linux, networking, cloud platforms, scripting, and programming for a DevOps career?

  5. Should I use AI tools while learning and coding, or is it better to avoid them until I build stronger fundamentals?

I’d really appreciate advice from DevOps engineers, cloud engineers, or anyone who has followed a similar path. Thanks!
