So You Want to Learn DevOps

TechWorld with Nana is one of the most popular resources for people looking to get into or progress a DevOps career. Nana Janashia, the creator of TechWorld with Nana, is a DevOps trainer and consultant who joined us to discuss why DevOps is needed now more than ever and how this is the perfect time to begin a career in DevOps.

Host Alex Williams and Nana go over the key concepts of DevOps. Then they talk about how the complexity of tools can sidetrack and complicate the learning process for those new to DevOps and why focusing on concepts rather than tools the way to go. Before wrapping up the conversation, they even talk about the best ways for people to get involved who are new to DevOps.

Nana's journey into DevOps commenced during her time as an engineer in Austria, where she began exploring Kubernetes. As inquiries from colleagues poured in, she recognized her knack for demystifying complex topics, catalyzing her passion for teaching. Viewers attest to switching to DevOps careers after watching her videos.

Throughout the conversation, we learned how people can discover the world of DevOps through TechWorld with Nana as an expert guide. With a large YouTube audience, online courses, workshops, and corporate training, Nana has empowered countless individuals in advancing their DevOps expertise. The six-month boot camps from TechWorld with Nana encompass a comprehensive curriculum, starting with fundamentals and culminating in hands-on programming abilities, Python automation, configuration management, and Prometheus-based monitoring.

Nana underscores that DevOps, still a relatively nascent profession, suffers from role ambiguity both among engineers and within companies aspiring to implement it. This confusion stems from differing workflows and environments when engineers switch jobs. Nana's insights bring clarity to these challenges, acknowledging the evolving chaos of the DevOps culture and its driving force for innovation in managing intricate distributed technologies.
