Learn about DevOps with the resources I've shared, network
and start looking for roles. Getting jobs through networks is
easier. However if that doesn't work out, join a company as
an entry level backend engineer and transition into DevOps
later.
--------- Answering your social media questions

What informs your decision in choosing a cloud provider to

build on?

Nothing. I'd recommend learning the fundamentals

thoroughly so that you can be cloud agnostic and flexible to
work with different providers depending on the different
companies you work for in the various stages of your career.
You'd use the provider that your organization already uses.

However if you're asking this for times when you're working

on private projects, some factors that can affect your
decision might be: services and features offered, pricing and
cost structure, compliance and regulatory requirements,
security, scalability, support and documentation, community
and ecosystem, integration with existing systems and
geographical location of data storage.

What really is the difference between DevOps and Platform

Engineering?

Platform Engineering is a developing field that aims to

improve developer efficiency by simplifying the complexity
and unpredictability of modern software delivery. It
addresses some of the major obstacles that organizations
face when implementing DevOps on a large scale, such as
ensuring development practices align with business
objectives and minimizing the difficulty of managing a
complex network of tools and infrastructure throughout the
application's life cycle.
--------- Answering your social media questions

Must a DevOps engineer be very good with Python?

Not necessarily. However, I would argue that DevOps

engineers should have good programming and scripting
language skills. I'd recommend to prioritize YAML and
command line scripting languages like BASH and Powershell.
However Python is a nice skill as you can use it in
collaboration with tools like Pulumi to do infrastructure
automation.

What's the difference between Terraform and Ansible and

can I use both at the same when deploying a server on
AWS or any cloud provider?

Terraform is an infrastructure automation tool that is used to

provision, manage and version your infrastructure, Ansible is
a configuration management tool. Both Terraform and
Ansible are powerful tools that can be used together to
automate the process of provisioning and managing
resources on cloud providers such as AWS, Terraform can be
used to deploy and manage the infrastructure, and Ansible
can be used to install, configure and manage the software
on those servers.
--------- Answering your social media questions

Is there any major difference between AWS DevOps and

Azure DevOps?

AWS DevOps and Azure DevOps are similar in their overall

goals and functionality, but they differ in terms of the
specific tools and services that they offer since they are run
by different companies.

The primary distinction between AWS DevOps and Azure

DevOps is the set of tools and services they provide. AWS
DevOps mainly uses AWS tools such as CodeCommit,
CodeBuild, CodePipeline, and CodeDeploy for developing
and deploying applications, whereas Azure DevOps mainly
uses Azure tools such as Azure Repos, Azure Artifacts, Azure
Pipelines, Azure Artifacts and Azure Test Plans. Both solutions
also offer a variety of additional services for monitoring,
logging, security, and automation such as AWS
CloudFormation, AWS CloudWatch for AWS and Azure
Monitor, and Microsoft Defender (for Cloud) for Azure
DevOps.
--------- Answering your social media questions

How would you approach balancing the need for rapid

deployment with ensuring security and compliance in your
DevOps processes?

When it comes to balancing the need for fast deployment

with ensuring security and compliance in DevOps processes,
it is crucial to take a holistic approach that incorporates
several key elements. One way to achieve this is by initially
integrating security, automating security checks, utilizing the
security features provided by cloud providers, limiting
access to sensitive data and resources, regularly reviewing
and updating security policies, having an incident response
and disaster recovery plan in place and constantly
monitoring and assessing the system for any potential
vulnerabilities. By implementing these strategies, it is
possible to ensure that security and compliance are
integrated throughout the development process, and you
can focus on deploying new features. Security is very
important, it should not be compromised.

Do we need to learn full stack development before going on

DevOps?

It is not mandatory to have full-stack development

knowledge, but having a fundamental understanding of
software development can be an advantage.
