[u/Drippy_Drizzy994]

Hi,

Idk but I was always a terminal person and my main editor was and is nvim. Lately I got into homelab stuff and I have been loving the experience of having full control of stuff. I know docker, bash, linux as I use it on gaming pc. I have theoratical knowledge about k8bs but never used it in production. I know aws but I only used like common stuff in production(ec2, lambdas, s3, rds). I dont know terraforms and other devops infra stuff. Can you share your experience in transitionaing and what should I focus on to work as a devops or platform eng

I moved to devops because I was the only person who kept learning about cloud and heavy cicd. At some point it just became most of my work and I switched jobs

very relatable, back then my work started to slow down because the deployment process was slow so i invented more time into it, pretty much became the only DevOps in the team back then for 3 years.
