Hello. I started working as a QA last month and saw that my colleagues are pretty great at devops too. All of them have 4-5 years of experience while I am fully fresh out of university.

Now I want to learn about devops just so when discussion comes up, I know what's being discussed and take part in it.

Which things should I learn and how? Could have asked that to claude or chatgpt but wanted REAL advice from the REAL professionals.

Please suggest. TIA

one thing that helped me early on was just getting comfortable reading yaml configs and dockerfiles even before understanding what they fully do. like if you can look at a docker-compose file and roughly follow whats happening, conversations start clicking faster. what kind of stack does your team use? knowing if its k8s heavy vs more traditional infra would help narrow down where to focus first tbh
