Go to Phase 1: Linux and Networking
This is a guide based on our experiences of going from help desk to Cloud and DevOps engineers. You journey is yours and you may need to learn different things at different stages.
We tried to keep it as general and using the most popular options (in terms of content, community, and jobs) as possible. Mainly because these things are important when you're getting started. As you grow, you'll need to get specialized in certain areas :)
- This 6 month timeline is based on about 3 hours of study time a day and assuming that you know how to learn.
- I use the Pomodoro technique. Give it a try if you need help breaking your studying into sessions.
- I take lots of notes, here's an overview of How I study for certfications that might give you some tips.
