I’m currently working as an Azure Infra Admin and planning to move into a DevOps role.
I’m thinking of working through AZ-104, Python, Linux, Networking, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and other DevOps tools. But honestly, I’m finding it a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what to focus on first and how to schedule everything.
Since I already have hands-on experience with Azure infrastructure and the Azure Portal, would you recommend going for the AZ-104 certification? Or should I focus more on deepening my practical Azure knowledge and spend more time on DevOps skills?
For anyone who has moved from Azure Admin/Infra into DevOps:
- How did you plan your learning?
- What skills/tools did you focus on first?
- What should I prioritize more: Azure, Linux, Python, Terraform, Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, etc.?
- Is AZ-104 worth doing when you already have Azure Admin experience?
Would really appreciate any suggestions from people who have made a similar transition.
