I know certifications are important. I have an interview tomorrow (2nd) video call. I feel that even though I dont know everything about Kubernetes and CI/CD, it would still be a great practice for me to see if a company would take a chance on me in my current phase of development. I have a strong Linux background with some AWS and Azure certs, plus over 20 years experience in IT from helpdesk, desktop support to server administration. But for the role I am applying for says "associate devops engineer" I feel I am underqualified and frankly a bit scared to do the video call. But like I said, it would be a good practice to see what kinds of things I am lacking in which frankly at this stage is probably alot.

This community is still available - for now. We’re adding new resources soon and there's a Q&A sessions tomorrow. But access will stay only for members who show up and contribute. Right now, 75% of members are still “Level 1 – Scallywag.” That tells me most of you are watching, not building. A thriving community isn’t built on silent spectators. It’s built by people who share wins, ask questions, and help others grow. If you’ve learned even one thing here, imagine what happens when you go all in. We built this to help you win, but it starts with participation. So here’s the deal: ✅ Be active, help others, and keep full access. ❌ Stay inactive, and you'll not have access We're building building something great with you, not just only for you. Thank you to everyone already contributing — you’re the reason this works. 🎥 PS: I’ll be live tomorrow at 6 PM to answer your questions and help you move forward. Tomorrow @ 6pm - 7pm Amsterdam time (CEST, UTC+2) equals: - London: 5–6 PM - New York (ET): 12–1 PM - Chicago (CT): 11 AM–12 PM - Denver (MT): 10–11 AM - Los Angeles (PT): 9–10 AM 🔥 Drop a comment below if you’re joining the live Q&A. 👈 Tell us what you’re working on or where you’re stuck so we can help you move forward together. This is your chance to stop lurking and start building proof of your growth. Let’s build this together. — Mischa

Hey guys,I’ve been setting up my homelab with Proxmox on a Dell Optiplex (i5-6500TE, 8GB RAM). While learning Ansible with 1 master and 2 worker nodes, I ran into issues like RAM maxing out, VMs freezing, and SSH dropping. I tried fixing it by limiting each VM’s RAM to 1GB, enabling ballooning, and adding a swapfile to the host. Anyone faced similar issues on low-RAM Proxmox setups? How did you solve it?

Hi! DevOps people, I will be sharing my Linux learning everyday with this community. If anyone wants to give suggestions. I am all open ears. :-)

I know the feeling of learning all these amazing DevOps and cloud skills, yet wondering: How do I actually put this into practice? A while back, someone guided me to try e-commerce projects. At first, I wasn’t sure how it would help but it became a game-changer: - I got to deploy live systems, handle traffic, and automate processes, skills I’d only practiced in tutorials before. - Every problem I solved gave me real proof of what I could do, not just theory. - It built my confidence, showing me that my knowledge could create actual impact. What I realized is this: growth doesn’t just come from learning, it comes from doing, building, and applying your skills in ways that matter. Have you tried turning your DevOps knowledge into real projects? How did it feel?
