Description

Pivot to Devops from infra guy Hey everyone, I am currently looking at a career pivot from a generalist / infra / sysadmin guy to DevOps. 30 YO male, EU, 10 years in IT without college degree, 6 of those years are in a sysadmin role. In my current position, I manage some onprem / azure servers, dabble in networking, and do a lot pf scripting in powershell to automate a lot of things. I would not really call myself too skilled at programming though. I would overall consider myself medior to senior in this role. I understand more or less what DevOps entails, but i do not know where to start exactly. My org is not really into modernizing things, so I do not have any experience with containers or ci/cd, everything is still running on VMs. I do try to actively upskill though in my own time. Now my question is, where to start? Containers / kubernetes / docker \- I am currently playing with this in my homelab, still very green though. Ci/CD \- dont even know where to start on this one Git \- playing with this in my current org. Pushed all my pwsh scripts to an Azure DevOps and playing around with it. Still have some holes here. Python \- Do I absolutely need this one? I guess I can read it, therefore I can vibe code and check if the Ai code is not an absolute mess, but again, I do not consider myself very strong programmer and I would struggle with this the most. IaC \- playing around with this in my org azure environment. I pushed a few server with biceps and terraform, but I do not really create servers that often to make use of it that much. Seems straightforward enough though. What would you focus on if you were in my shoes? How long do you think learning all this can take me to make the pivot? Will be happy for all advice.
