Thank you so much Raj!! I’m going to start my new cloud job (both aws and azure) on Monday and excited for that. Changing tech after 10+ years of exp isn’t easily and finally I was able to do after 1 year of solid preparation. Your system design, kubernetes course helped a lot to clear interviews. I had only Linux and ansible at work and ofcourse, I have bash and ansible implemented in advanced level. I did fail once in AWS sysops cert but passed AwS SAA. Planning for CKA next month. Depending on hands on at work, will plan either aws professional or azure devops within an year. Certs do help to get an interview but doesn’t give you a job. We need to practice a lot.
Congrats Chaitanya!! I love this, especially you didn't give up after you didn't pass sysops first time. Good luck on CKA. Keep learning and keep rocking!!
Thank you so much Raj. At work, I now have azure devops, Jenkins, artifactory, jfrog, sonarqube, sysdig, dynatrace, openshift, helm, chef. It’s overwhelming for me and I need to work hard at the job. No aws and ansible which I highlighted a lot in resume. It barely suit my resume and I asked what’s your reason to recruit. He simply answered, no one knows 100% of these tools. your basics in CI/CD, basics of HA and FT, kubernetes internal concepts, attitude, the way you answered questions is impressive and we thought you can do this job easily with your confidence. Knowing Basic principles of CICD, deployment strategies when to apply what and kubernetes basics (since I’m from Linux background I totally understand namespaces and cgroups, container concepts really well). I feel everyone know atleast 50% of what need to be done in cloud and devops. Other 50% is simply choosing what is right for you and working towards it. It’s a great help you have done. I will do my best at work and learn all these things.
Hi chaithanya, i have 10 yrs of experience in java support, mostly enhancements, now I am working on a development project on Aws, Jenkins, cicd agile model, spring boot, though it's a bit of a struggle since i don't have solid development experience in terms of building a product from scratch. Can you please suggest if i can switch into something without much of development part? What profile can i look for? Thanks
@@dhanyya89 We can look for cloud Engineer/architect role and pick up some area. I chosen devops and mostly into deployment and containers. I would say everyone require some level of scripting experience(either Cloud formation, terraform etc). Raj had posted in some of videos. YAML is very easy to learn and we don’t need to put too effort like learning any programming language. Python is good and vast, but we don’t require to learn everything in python. Basics in python and using Boto3 framework if we are able to create resources reading and going through documentation that would be enough as a starting stage. Once we get a role, everyone will start learning !!
@@cloudwithraj I interested a exercise or pipeline where you can mix Vagrant with Ansible roles and docker-compose to automate development side environments.
@@cloudwithraj Oh I am a cloud security engineer. I still feel like an imposter because it doesn’t involve coding or using the latest devops tools where I am lol
@@leonphelps Hahaha, everyone feels imposter syndrome in cloud career coz it's impossible to know everything. I also feel imposter syndrome when I don't know some new features and latest announcements in containers/serverless.
@@leonphelps I am trying to enter into cloud and want to know about cloud security.. Can you let me know how is your day to day job and what skills are required ? Thank you
Thanks Raj some great learning lessons as looking into getting into DevOps as currently an infrastructure engineer and want to branch into cloud DevOps. So true as you dont need to learn everything just 1 or 2 to get you in the door then learn as you work :).
Hey Raj, good topic covered, esp. when everyone just want to jump into this field without understanding the krucks of it. Yeah, certificate what helps in getting a job in case of conflicts or bootstrapping impression or faith in the new org but at the end of the day, we need to execute it.
@Raj, thank you so much for this guidance. I have some questions around AWS work culture and some other topics. 1) Recently I have been selected for TAM role for India Location. I have 12+ years of experience, any idea what will be my entry level? Is it L6? 2) But while I go through AWS work culture review, I am bit scary on some parts such as Attrition Rate, Job Security and Firing and PIP process. As you have been part of this company for a long time, what is your opinion on this? 3) Also, I am bit worried about the pay structure. Seems first 4 years are all clear. What about yearly performance review and increment? Do we get yearly hike as expected based on our performance or that is out of scope? 4) For TAM role, can you guide as what are the metrics based on which employee is judged?
Hello! If you are constantly learning and working hard, you don't need to worry about anything. Since part of your comp is RSU, as stocks go up, so does your salary! You will get more RSUs after 4th year. In addition to that, your base will also increase every year based on your performance. I hope you choose Amazon!
Hi sir, I am 26 years old currently working as a production engineer in a company called micro plastics, since I have been working here for 3 yrs and couldn't see any growth in this domain now I am doing AWS devops course & I don't have sufficient time to practice in the home and now I planning to resign in the current company and start a career in IT I am 2018 engg batch mechanical can I get a job after completing this course anyone please suggest me what to do ??
Current I am in India working on mainframes and planning to pursue masters in cloud computing from UK.Please let me know if it’s worth doing a masters degree or a certification is enough to get job abroad.
You need to know VPC, public/private, NAT. If DevOps is for Kubernetes, you need to know high level netwroking such as public cluster, private cluster, VPC endpoints for private cluster (coz u need to set those up in DevOps jobs) etc. But for DevOps jobs, you don't need to go deep on Networking. Noone will expect you to know firewall details, how packets flow, eth0 details etc.
certifications are good to have but you can still get job without it if you have good understanding of these tools....i have never worked on aws and terraform but did training on udemy ...now i am holding 5 offers of 20 lpa+ ...still negotiating before finalising one . There is demand of good skill in market and if you are looking new job now is the time. Coming to your next question, slowly and steadily you will need to learn other tools as your work won't be entirely on these two tools.
Hi, I am getting lots of feedback about aws pip process and firing and all.. Mostly being reviewed by sde s.. I recently got selected as a TAM , so now wondering shall I accept the offer or not.. It's for aws india... Is this culture same for l5 tam roles too? Any guidance.. I don't see people talking about other roles than sde.. Much appreciated.. Thanks
Hey Haimanti, if you work hard you don't need to think about those stuff. AWS takes care of you if you are learning and working. I hope you join Amazon!
Thank you so much Raj.. Yes I have decided to join.. Hope we can stay in touch in case I need some guidance from you in future.. Your Udemy courses helped me a lot, thank you for those.. Wondering how you manage work load and these additional activities 🤔..One more thing I wanted to know at this stage.. Any idea the level of coding or programming knowledge required for TAM role? I am mainly from operations bg, so just checking so that I can plan accordingly.. Thanks
Two points I wanted to check 1) Are aws certifications free when I am employee? 2) What are my chances to switch to solutions architect going down the line in 3 to 4 years? As I am from operations bg, I didn't have much system design exposure.. Can you guide me as that's the role I want to focus in future.. Thank you again..
@@haimantibhattacharya1577 Yes AWS certs are free as an employee. Any role is a two day door! Like you became a TAM, down the line if you want to become a SA that's fine too. You need to study the system design part.
if remote job is the goal, get expert level on some trending programming language, then u ca work from anywhere !! like Rust low level or Kotlin for mobile or JS for web !! I feel devops is more IT infra job which is automated

Great info Raj
Please create a video on AWS Cloud DEVOPS.
More videos coming on devops. Any particular topic you are interested in?
@@cloudwithraj I interested a exercise or pipeline where you can mix Vagrant with Ansible roles and docker-compose to automate development side environments.
1. Continuous learning & adaptation.
2. Cloud fundamentals.
3. Cloud certification.
4. Ready for new challenges.
5. Focus on particular skill
I have 5 AWS certifications, 3 CompTIA, ITIL and CISSP but I still have imposter syndrome because I don’t know much about Kubernetes or Python 🙁
You already have ITIL and CISSP, if you get AWS security specialty and you can get a job in cloud security! You don't need to know Kubernetes

Thanks bro!
Cloud devops is may career path... Thank you for the information.
Let's goooo Akshay!!!
dont like conflict. there will be a lot of o people who resist change
what all topics of computer networking one must know for devops?
You need to know VPC, public/private, NAT. If DevOps is for Kubernetes, you need to know high level netwroking such as public cluster, private cluster, VPC endpoints for private cluster (coz u need to set those up in DevOps jobs) etc. But for DevOps jobs, you don't need to go deep on Networking.

for old age I guess its not sustainable after 45-50 age
Depends on the person bro. If you look at cloud teams, all ages are present.
@@cloudwithraj yes , agree with you.
Can I just go ahead with CKA , cloud certification and get a job related to it & not to worry about every other tool available ? With decent package
