I'm curious about the DevOps path and wanted to ask the community: 1. How long does it realistically take to become a DevOps engineer? I know it depends on background, but what's a realistic timeline from beginner to job-ready? 2. What should I actually learn? There's so much out there it's overwhelming. What's the core stack/skills that matter most? Things like: - Linux & networking fundamentals - CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI…) - Containers (Docker, Kubernetes) - Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) - IaC (Terraform, Ansible) - Monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana) - Scripting (Bash, Python) What would you prioritize? What did you learn first, and what do you wish you'd learned earlier? Any advice, roadmaps, or personal experiences would be really appreciated ..thnak you all
