DevOps Career Roadmap: 1:1 Mentorship Session with Suraj

Are you trying to break into DevOps or Cloud Engineering but don't know where to start or what to learn next?

In this 60-minute 1:1 session, I'll cut through the noise and give you a clear, personalised roadmap based on exactly where you are right now.

How the session works:

I start by understanding you, your background, what you already know, how much research you've done, and what's blocking you. No generic advice. Everything I share is tailored to your current level.

Whether you're a complete beginner who's just heard the word "DevOps" or someone who's been dabbling with Docker and wants a structured path, I'll meet you where you are.

What we'll cover (based on your level):

1. The Fundamentals: What DevOps actually is, the culture, and the mindset shift required
2. Networking & Linux: The non-negotiable foundation every DevOps engineer must have
3. Cloud Fundamentals How the cloud works and why AWS is the best place to start
4. Cloud Security: IAM, policies, least privilege, baked in from day one, not an afterthought
5. Containers & Kubernetes: Docker → Kubernetes, the orchestration backbone of modern infra
6. CI/CD Pipelines: Automating build, test, and deploy workflows (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD)
7. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform & Ansible: stop clicking, start coding your infra
8. Monitoring & Observability Prometheus, Grafana, and how to know your system is healthy
9. Projects to Build: Real-world, portfolio-worthy projects that get you hired

What makes this session different:

• You walk away with a custom roadmap built around your timeline and goals
• I tell you exactly what to learn within each tool not just "learn Kubernetes"
• I share curated, industry-relevant resources I've personally vetted (no random YouTube rabbit holes)
• I share what the industry actually uses in 2025, not what tutorials from 5 years ago taught

Who is this for?

• Students or freshers exploring a career in tech
• Developers wanting to transition into DevOps/Cloud
• IT professionals looking to upskill into modern cloud-native practices
• Anyone who's tried to learn DevOps and felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of tools
