Ask HN: How do I transition to DevOps after 10 years of front end?
After 10 years of doing frontend I feel like I'm hitting a career ceiling. Overall, frontend is being looked down upon and I don't want to be considered a second class citizen anymore. I also don't have a CS degree so it's an uphill battle.
But I love tech and learning stuff. I'd like to spend the next year or so studying to transition to a DevOps role. I know SQL on a OK level, did some backend, know how to setup a Docker container etc.
What steps would you recommend to take? Books to read? Courses to take?
I ordered "Designing data intensive applications" book and am also considering buying the Cloud engineer bootcamp course from Linux Foundation.
What else? What should be my primary focus? What do I need to know inside out to be a competent candidate?
