2026 — A practical, project-first roadmap from beginner to a hired cloud/DevOps engineer.
1. Foundations
Linux, networking (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP), one scripting language (Python or Bash), and Git.
2. One cloud, deeply
Compute, VPC/networking, IAM, storage, databases, and a managed Kubernetes service. Build and deploy a real app.
3. The DevOps toolchain
Docker → Kubernetes → Terraform (IaC) → CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins) → observability (Prometheus/Grafana).
4. Production + a portfolio project
Ship one project with IaC, CI/CD, monitoring and a URL recruiters can open — this beats certificates.
5. Interview prep + placement
Scenario-based interview practice and a strong resume/LinkedIn. See our DevOps and AWS tracks and the AI/ML roadmap. Increasingly, add AI/GenAI basics too.
Prepare with a deployed project from our AI, GenAI & Agentic AI, DevOps and cloud tracks, and see live roles on the jobs board. Book a free demo: +91 96660 19191.
