DevOps Roadmap — Part 12: Becoming a DevOps Engineer
Agar tum yaha tak aaye ho,
to tumne DevOps sirf suna nahi — samjha hai.
Ab sawal ye hai:
“DevOps engineer kaise bane?”
First Reality Check
DevOps ek tool nahi hai.
DevOps ek responsibility mindset hai.
- Code sirf likhna nahi
- System chalana bhi hai
- Failure ka ownership lena hota hai
DevOps Engineer Actually Kya Karta Hai?
- CI/CD pipelines maintain karta hai
- Servers & cloud manage karta hai
- Deployments automate karta hai
- Failures troubleshoot karta hai
- Security & monitoring dekhta hai
DevOps = Developer + Operations + Ownership
Complete Skill Map (No Confusion)
1️⃣ Core Foundation
- Linux (must)
- Networking basics
- Shell scripting
2️⃣ Programming Basics
- Python or Bash
- Read logs, write scripts
3️⃣ Cloud
- AWS / Azure / GCP (one is enough)
- EC2, IAM, VPC, storage
4️⃣ Containers & CI/CD
- Docker
- Git & GitHub
- GitHub Actions / Jenkins
5️⃣ Infrastructure & Automation
- Terraform (infra as code)
- Ansible basics
6️⃣ Monitoring & Security

Daily Learning Plan (Poor Student Friendly)
Books kharidna zaroori nahi.
Consistency zaroori hai.
- 1–2 hours daily Linux / cloud practice
- Weekend pe project improve karo
- Break systems (and fix them)
Free resources + practice = enough.
Projects Matter More Than Certificates
Interview me ye poochte hain:
- “Tumne kya banaya?”
- “Production issue kaise solve kiya?”
Suggested beginner projects:
- Deploy app on EC2 using Docker
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Monitoring setup with alerts
Common Mistakes Beginners Make
- Sab tools ek sath seekhna
- Sirf tutorials dekhna
- Production fear rakhna
Galtiya karna hi DevOps ka training hai.
Job Reality (Honest Truth)
Entry-level DevOps role rare hota hai.
Usually path:
- Linux / Cloud Engineer
- Support / SRE role
- Then DevOps
Patience + skills = entry.
Final Advice
DevOps banna shortcut se nahi hota.
Lekin agar tum:
- Systems samajhte ho
- Responsibility lete ho
- Seekhna nahi chhodte
To DevOps tumhe khud dhund lega.
This completes the DevOps Roadmap Series.
