It's worth noting that demand for specialists in programmable systems will increase significantly in 2022. This is primarily due to the overall trend toward process automation in business. Furthermore, entrepreneurs are constantly striving to improve their efficiency by implementing best practices. Today, we'll discuss where to start learning DevOps/DevNet for IT managers and how to master the basic tools of this young, yet very promising, profession.
Start in DevOps / DevNet for IT managers
Most likely, you'll first need to understand the DevOps/DevNet field, what you need to know , and where to start. Of course, without a plan, a roadmap of sorts, it's difficult not only to plan but even to begin learning. Therefore, we recommend familiarizing yourself with the goals and means of achieving them in this field using simple examples. To get started, watch several free masterclasses from SEDICOMM University instructors. They are available on our YouTube channel and are accessible to everyone.
Of course, this will not be enough to master all the skills and knowledge within the specialty. But it will definitely become easier to understand how attractive the direction is for you. And also to understand what to do next for your professional development. Of course, the next step will be to take courses from those who set the industry standards - Cisco. By the way, you can take them with us, completely remotely. The introductory course for beginner IT specialists will take only two weeks and will help you learn a lot of new things:
- Using Python for Scripting;
- using Linux as a platform for system deployment;
- routing and switching using professional equipment.
It's worth noting that a simple DevOps/DevNet textbook isn't currently available for purchase. This is because the field is still relatively new and there's relatively little material available. In our course, you'll not only have access to the official interactive web-based textbook, but also the opportunity to practice your skills in a virtual environment that emulates a real system. Furthermore, our students can practice on real equipment if they wish. All you need to do is request it, and you'll be provided with the appropriate remote access.
What to study after the introductory course
Of course, an introduction to DevOps/DevNet won't be the pinnacle of professional learning. Rather, it will help you get started and chart your future path to the top of your IT career. Therefore, we recommend following this introduction with in-depth training in one of our programs:
- Network Engineering from Cisco;
- Linux Basics by LPI;
- programming from Python Institute.
We also have more advanced programs for training specialists in programmable networks and systems. Therefore, there is definitely room for further development here - the main thing is to have desire. And not be afraid to invest time in your education. It is worth noting that such investments will bring the most noticeable benefits in 2022.
Of course, this industry is noteworthy in itself—it's the easiest way to break into IT , offering a good salary right away with minimal competition. On the other hand, it offers a wide range of opportunities, including systems administration, network engineering, cybersecurity, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Furthermore, with work experience, you can expect better conditions and salaries. As a result, landing your dream job will be significantly easier.
