Any suggestions for someone with one year of experience person who want to switch to DevOps Engineer. Yeah, that's me. Please give your suggestions and advice. For a freshers, it is really tough to find a good place as well as good tech to work.

Look at https://roadmap.sh/devops and start reading up. From this, here's what I think you should do: • learn a programming language. Any will do, python is good to start. You need to know enough to write small scripts, not just hello world • learn to live in terminal: practice how to create files/directories, understand unix permission model (if I ask what does 644 or rwx-w--w- means you should be able to tell me) • shell scripting is good to have • learn about managing servers: how to install an OS, how to install software (pick any distro, I would recommend Ubuntu. Others the commands will differ, the principles will be the same) • learn about how build, run software. Pick any open source software, or build your own, and learn how to package it to deploy. Write small shell scripts to make the 5 things you have to do always in to a script executable script • learn about containers ("docker" is a tool, containers is the principle). Learn how to package this app you built into a container • learn about CI/CD principles. Understand the principles. Tools like Jenkins/Gitlab/Github actions will come naturally. Practice how to build your app using CI principles. Then practice how to deploy them using CD. • Understand how networking works. You don't have to go deep into the kernel level. At the minimum, you need to know about Subnets, routing, interfaces, ports • Understand OS concepts: understand the Linux folder hierarchy. if someone asks you where the logs are, or how to get a app to run on startup, you should be able to explain these • If you're going to pick up Cloud Skills: pick a Cloud, any cloud. Principle matters, implementation will come from reading the docs • Understand fundamental pillars of cloud: IAM, Virtual networking build something in the cloud. Maybe a manually deploy that app you built onto a cloud VM • learn some infra as code (terraform etc) to automatically do these.
