In this video, I talk about the challenge of learning multiple technologies and staying up-to-date with new ones in the DevOps field and how I personally manage not to be overwhelmed by it and make the learning process easier.
As a DevOps engineer you need to learn so many tools to even start your job as a Junior DevOps engineer. So the minimum entry requirement is already very high. But in addition to having to learn 5-10 technologies, this creates another challenge, which is you can’t just learn them in isolation, but you have to know how to combine them too, how to integrate them together to build those processes.
And it doesn’t stop there. To add to this challenge, the DevOps space is developing really fast and we see new technologies, new concepts emerging all the time, so many engineers feel the pressure to learn new tools to use in their projects. So how can you keep an overview and not get too overwhelmed by these, but at the same time still stay up-to-date and know when a new tool comes up that can actually make your work easier, more efficient, or help you and your team in your software development and deployment process.

…ht now, someone can accidentally click a random button on the server, and it would take us hours to figure out what changed." It also is great for documenting your servers and for Staging vs Prod parity.
* Play with WSL2 as much as you can.
* In another post, someone mentioned these resources: (I skimmed them, look OK to me)
* Nana on YouTube: [video
* Intro to K8s: https://github.com/stephanGarland/intro-to-x/blob/main/k8s/k8s-101.md
* For apps, check out /r/homelab \- you don't actually need a different computer at first, just try running things randomly, then try more and more complex tools for managing them, moving them to an old laptop, etc. The Raspberry PI is a cheap way to e…
On “I've struggling been trying to learn Kubernetes coming from a docker compose workflow. Are there any tips you could give me on making sense of Kubernetes orchestration with docker? I've specifically wanted to setup my docker compose containers with load balancing, that's my main goal right now.”
Best single resource I know of is link to this video
Or basically any of her videos. She has a knack for giving you just enough coverage to be useful.
On “Transitioning to a manager role. Need some advice.”
Her voice is squeaky. It's not Michelle Wolfe, but it's pretty close.
You can hear voices like TechWorld with Nana or Eve Burton and then compare, and she's on the high side of the female register.
There's nothing wrong with it, but to imply some kind of bias because higher voices are found to be less pleasant to listen to seems quite a bit of a stretch. I can't think of a woman that I interact with that has a register as high as hers across sales, marketing, engineering, customer support and even personal relationships.
