Is DevOps really worth learning?

I’ve been diving into DevOps recently, and it’s been eye-opening. There’s so much focus on streamlining processes and improving collaboration between development and operations teams. It feels like every job posting is looking for these skills now.

For anyone else who’s been working in tech, I’d say give DevOps a look – it’s been a real game-changer for me. Is anyone else here learning DevOps? Has it made a difference in your work or job prospects?

I’ve been in DevOps for about a year, and it’s been amazing. It’s like I finally have all the tools I need to actually make things run smoothly between development and IT. It’s more than worth it if you’re serious about scaling up your career.

Agreed! My team used to struggle with deployments, but with DevOps, things just flow so much better. Which tools are you using the most?

Mostly Jenkins for automation and Kubernetes for container management. How about you?

We use Jenkins too, along with Docker. Kubernetes is something we’re planning to start soon. Any tips on Kubernetes for a team just getting started?

Start with small projects to test out Kubernetes. It has a learning curve, but once you get it, it’s so powerful. And definitely look into Helm charts—they make managing complex applications so much easier.

I’m just starting with DevOps. It seems overwhelming, but I keep hearing that the payoff is worth it. Does anyone have advice on where to start for a beginner?

Try starting with version control basics, then go into CI/CD with Jenkins or GitHub Actions. Don’t try to learn everything at once—just build gradually.

Thanks, NVS! I’ll start with version control and take it from there. Any specific resources you’d recommend?

For sure! Check out tutorials on YouTube and follow DevOps influencers on LinkedIn. It’s a good way to stay motivated and learn from real-life experiences.
