System Admin for 2+ Years but I Feel Like I Never Learned SysAdmin. Want to Transition to DevOps. Where Should I Start? Hi everyone, I've been working as a System Administrator for a little over 2 years, but I honestly feel like I haven't gained the kind of experience most people associate with system administration. I work at a very old/traditional company where my day-to-day work is mostly repetitive: * Installing the same software over and over * Basic monitoring * Following predefined SOPs * Very little troubleshooting, automation, or infrastructure work Because of this, I feel like I've missed many of the fundamentals that most SysAdmin pick up along the way. I want to transition into DevOps, but I'm starting almost from scratch. I know it's not an entry-level role, and I'm prepared to put in the effort to learn properly. If you were mentoring someone in my position, what would your roadmap look like? Some questions I have: * What core System Administration topics should I master first ?? * Which Linux concepts are absolutely essential?? * What networking knowledge is expected ?? * Which scripting language should I prioritize (Bash or Python) ?? * When should I start learning Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, and cloud platforms like AWS ?? * What projects would actually help me build real-world skills instead of just collecting certificates ?? * Are there any resources, books, YouTube channels, or courses that you genuinely recommend?? My goal is to become job-ready for a DevOps role, even if it takes several months of consistent learning. I'd really appreciate any roadmap, advice, or lessons you wish someone had told you when you started. Thanks in advance! [link] [handle]
