Start with Linux, networking, cloud fundamentals, Git and scripting. Then build hands-on CI/CD, container, Kubernetes, Terraform and monitoring projects that connect to your existing experience.

Learn Linux and networking first, then Git, scripting, one cloud platform, Docker, CI/CD, Terraform, Kubernetes and observability. Build and explain projects at every stage.

Build strong production operations skills, then learn observability, incident response, SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, automation and reliability design using real failure scenarios.

You do not need application-developer depth, but scripting and automation are essential. Python or Bash plus the ability to read code and APIs is usually enough to begin.

Common issues are generic duties, weak project evidence, missing target-role keywords and no measurable impact. Show what you automated, improved, deployed or troubleshot.

Combine fundamentals with scenarios. Practise architecture, security, networking, troubleshooting, scaling, cost and failure recovery—not only definitions or commands.

You answer realistic technical and scenario-based questions, explain your reasoning and receive direct feedback on knowledge gaps, communication and next preparation priorities.

Use problem, architecture, your contribution, decisions, failures, troubleshooting and measurable outcome. Be ready to explain trade-offs and what you would improve.

Practise a repeatable method: clarify symptoms, check recent changes, inspect metrics and logs, narrow the blast radius, test hypotheses, mitigate safely and explain prevention.

Know state, modules, providers, plan/apply workflow, drift and security. For CI/CD, explain pipeline stages, artifacts, approvals, rollback, secrets and failure handling.

DevOps is a culture and set of practices for faster, safer delivery. SRE applies software engineering to operations with measurable reliability goals such as SLIs, SLOs and error budgets.

Expect practical command-line troubleshooting plus processes, permissions, filesystems, DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP, ports, routing, load balancing and common connectivity failures.

Yes. Troubleshooting, incident handling and customer-impact awareness transfer well. Add automation, cloud, CI/CD, containers, infrastructure as code and projects that demonstrate ownership.
