DevOps career advice
Hi there,
My name is Cooper, and I’m currently building my path toward becoming a DevOps Engineer.
I’m studying through self-learning programs such as Harvard University CS50x and the IBM DevOps & Software Engineering program.
My roadmap also includes preparing for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification and the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional certification.
I’m focusing on building real projects on GitHub to gain practical experience in Linux, Docker, CI/CD, cloud, automation, and Kubernetes.
From your experience, do candidates with strong GitHub projects and certifications still have a real chance to compete in DevOps without a traditional computer science degree?
I’d really appreciate your honest opinion and any advice you can share.
Thank you for your time.
