Looking for advice on transitioning from Sysadmin to DevOps
I'm looking to apply to devops/sre positions to change my current job and have a profesional glow up, i no longer feel challenged project from my job and i am stating to just doing app maintaenance and helpdesk tasks.
I am a sysadmin with hands on production enviroments and automatation background (scripting and low code) but where i learn and enjoy the most is in my homelab, I have around 2.5 years of professional experience.
I'd like to learn technologies such as Terraform (mainly because I see it requested in many LinkedIn job postings) and Ansible, as well as deepen my knowledge of CI/CD pipelines. I've already worked with GitHub Actions.
I've also used AI to help me create a learning roadmap and prioritize milestones. One of the strongest recommendations was to document everything on GitHub.
Beyond following a roadmap, I'd like to hear what you think are the most important things to focus on when transitioning into DevOps. If you've seen what helps people land their first DevOps role, or if you have any advice on common mistakes, skills to prioritize, or portfolio ideas, I'd really appreciate your perspective.
