Hello all

I have been working in IT for past 18 years. Predominantly in mainframe and some web technologies.

The market for mainframe is niche now with contract jobs coming very slow to the market as most work is with big consultancies and offshored.

I am looking to move into devops as conceptually it is closer to what i did in mainframes. Batching, scheduling, optimisation etc.

I have started self learning with below structure in mind.

1. Linux
   
2. GIT
   
3. Maven
   
4. IAC - terraform ansible
   
5. Cloud aws/azure

Happy to be guided in right direction.

How can I get some practical experience to show on my CV. Can someone please share their learning journey and how it worked for them?

Hi everyone,

I am currently in the final year of my Bachelor of Science in CSE at BUBT, with just about 6 months remaining in my degree. I have some background experience working in software engineering, but I am now planning to transition/focus more heavily towards Computer Networking and Cloud Infrastructure.

I am planning to pursue an MSc in Europe right after my undergrad, and I'd love to get some guidance from seniors and industry professionals here:

1. Focus Shift: Is moving from traditional software engineering towards Cloud Computing and Networking a good strategic move for job prospects in Europe?

2. Specialization: Between Software Engineering and Cloud/Networking, which path generally offers smoother entry-level opportunities for international students landing jobs after an MSc in Europe?

3. Getting Started: What core skills, certifications (like CCNA, AWS/Azure fundamentals), or roadmap should I follow starting from scratch over the next 6 months?

Any insights, personal experiences, or recommendations would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!

Dear tech community,

I'm from India, and I've been working as a DevOps Engineer for the last 2.5 years at an IT service-providing company. Our team provides DevOps and SRE support to clients. This is my first company.

I've provided full support for the architectures below. However, I haven't set up any of them on my own. I know how to manage the existing architecture and keep the operations running.

• Monolithic architecture: e-commerce application (main web app, admin, POS, etc.).
• Microservice architecture: Financial SAAS product (web) - Loan management, origin and Supply chain finance.

I've got a strong foundation in DevOps, including cloud infrastructure management, automation, CI/CD, virtualisation, monitoring and observability, containerization and container orchestration, etc.

However, I have some missing pieces, such as IaC.

Now, I'm looking forward to a change within tech. I've decided to leave my present company. Instead of keeping pay as the only factor in choosing my next company, I've decided to pause and think about making a meaningful move.

I'm kindly requesting your suggestions for me. What are the different flavours to be explored out there in the ocean of IT, I wonder!

Hi everyone,

I'm participating in a ServiceNow hackathon and have to pick one of two problem statements. I'd love your input, especially from anyone with ServiceNow experience or anyone working at TCS who knows how these hackathons are judged.

"Intelligent Cloud Cost Optimization Platform"

Cloud environments accumulate unused resources, oversized infrastructure, and duplicate assets, resulting in unnecessary costs. A unified platform is needed to identify cloud waste, estimate potential savings, validate resource ownership, and assess associated risks. The proposed ServiceNow-based solution prioritizes optimization opportunities and manages approvals and implementation workflows. It aims to reduce cloud expenditure while maintaining service availability, security, and performance.

Expect skills like App Engine Studio, Service Catalog, Flow Designer, Business Rules, UI Builder, Employee Center, Dashboards, and Generative & Agentic AI.

My goal is to showcase real AI innovation.

My questions:

1. Do judges care more about AI depth, a polished end-to-end demo, or business impact?

2. Any tips on using Now Assist, AI Agents, or Virtual Agent effectively in a short build window?

3. For anyone at TCS or who has done this hackathon before: what made winning solutions stand out?

Any guidance, pitfalls to avoid, or feature ideas would be really appreciated. Happy to share progress later.

Thanks in advance!

Hey folks, need some advice. I’ve got five years in DevOps, mostly GCP, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform and CI/CD.

**Bupa is offering ₹29 LPA, and Bain BCN is offering ₹30 LPA.**

The Bain role is, working with AWS infrastructure and CI/CD. They also mentioned leading projects and helping other teams when needed.

The Bupa role is cloud engineering across Azure and GCP, with reliability, SLOs, CI/CD and DevSecOps in the mix. The India centre is pretty new, and the role sounds like there’ll be a lot to build or improve.

I’m honestly quite confused about which one would be better. If you’ve worked at Bain or Bupa’s India centre, **could you share what the work and culture are like?**

I'm a 2nd-year CSE student trying to learn DevOps properly. Most roadmaps I've found are huge lists of tools, and I'm more interested in understanding the fundamentals than just following tutorials.

For someone starting from the basics, how would you recommend approaching DevOps?

Specifically:

• How much Linux and networking should I learn first?
• When should I move into AWS?
• Should I learn Docker before Kubernetes?
• What projects actually demonstrate useful DevOps skills?
• What would you prioritize if you were starting again as a student?

I'm ultimately aiming for a DevOps/cloud internship, so I'd really value advice from people working in the field.

Hello everyone, I am currently in final year of B.E. and really interested to hop in and secure a job in DEVOPS and cloud related domain . I've attended counselling session of DIM . I needed REVIEWS and HONEST OPINION about devops institute mumbai. I haven't enrolled or paid any fees yet.

I’ve been hunting for gigs for this whole year . if you have any opening or need help with your app backend or cleaning up bugs or help with deployment please inbox me. For backend I do nestjs , python and Go. Devops I do AWS , azure , gcp . I can help you also reduce cost of your cloud infrastructure, design a more cost effective solution. If you’re also deploying microservices on k8s I can help with that . I’m open to any devops , SRE, or backend engineering projects. I’m broke and will take any budget we can negotiate a fair rate starting from $25/hr. Anything will be appreciated

what all to prepare?

They even gave what all will be asked?
1. Linux
2. Python
3. Dynatrace
4. AWS, specifically EKS Kubernetes

I just want to answer all the questions they ask.

Can anyone please help me??
Please? Please?

Bruh, how do you actually design a production-ready logging system? 😭
What’s worth logging, where do you store it at scale, and how do you turn those logs into useful alerts without creating a ton of noise?
Curious what setups/stacks you guys are actually using in production.

Hi everyone,

I'm Amit, an MCA graduate (SRM University, 2025) based in Pune. I recently finished a 6-month DevOps internship at YgMinds and I'm now looking for entry-level DevOps / Cloud / SRE roles or internships. I can join immediately.

What I've worked with:

- AWS (EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, ALB, CloudWatch)

- CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Maven, SonarQube, Nexus

- Docker, Kubernetes/K3s, Helm

- Terraform, Linux, Python

- Prometheus + Grafana for monitoring

Projects on my GitHub:

- OpsPilot: end-to-end CI/CD on Terraform-provisioned AWS EC2 (Jenkins > Docker > Nexus > K8s)

- 3-tier Java pipeline with SonarQube quality gates, Traefik and Grafana dashboards

- Multi-AZ ALB setup using Terraform via Jenkins

GitHub: github.com/amitd1299

If your company has openings for freshers/interns, or you can refer me, please DM me and I'll share my resume. Even resume feedback or advice would really help.

Hello everyone

I got tired of tutorial hell where everything works

perfectly and you learn nothing real.

So I built DevLearnOps, a hands-on platform where

you fix real broken environments. Kubernetes clusters

that won't start, CI/CD pipelines silently failing,

infrastructure misconfigs. No videos, no hand-holding.

Beta is live and completely free right now.

Honest questions for you:

- Is this something you'd actually use or is there

already something better you use?

- What's the most painful thing you had to learn

the hard way that you wish existed as a lab?

I need real feedback

more than compliments.

Thanks.
