DevOps is vast — Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, CI/CD, monitoring, security... the list goes on.</p>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"the-practical-path\">The Practical Path<a href=\"https://cloudcaptain.io/blog/devops-roadmap#the-practical-path\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to The Practical Path\" title=\"Direct link to The Practical Path\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<h3 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"month-1-2-foundations\">Month 1-2: Foundations<a href=\"https://cloudcaptain.io/blog/devops-roadmap#month-1-2-foundations\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Month 1-2: Foundations\" title=\"Direct link to Month 1-2: Foundations\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h3>\n<p>Focus on <strong>Linux</strong>, <strong>Git</strong>, and <strong>one programming language</strong> (Python recommended). These are non-negotiable skills that everything else builds on.</p>\n<h3 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"month-3-4-containers--cicd\">Month 3-4: Containers &amp; CI/CD<a href=\"https://cloudcaptain.io/blog/devops-roadmap#month-3-4-containers--cicd\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Month 3-4: Containers &amp; CI/CD\" title=\"Direct link to Month 3-4: Containers &amp; CI/CD\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h3>\n<p>Learn <strong>Docker</strong> deeply. Then pick one CI/CD tool — <strong>GitHub Actions</strong> is the easiest to start with. Build a real pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys a container.</p>\n<h3 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"month-5-6-infrastructure-as-code--cloud\">Month 5-6: Infrastructure as Code &amp; Cloud<a href=\"https://cloudcaptain.io/blog/devops-roadmap#month-5-6-infrastructure-as-code--cloud\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Month 5-6: Infrastructure as Code &amp; Cloud\" title=\"Direct link to Month 5-6: Infrastructure as Code &amp; Cloud\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h3>\n<p>Pick <strong>one cloud provider</strong> (AWS has the largest job market) and learn <strong>Terraform</strong>. Deploy real infrastructure, not just tutorials.</p>\n<h3 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"month-7-kubernetes--beyond\">Month 7+: Kubernetes &amp; Beyond<a href=\"https://cloudcaptain.io/blog/devops-roadmap#month-7-kubernetes--beyond\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Month 7+: Kubernetes &amp; Beyond\" title=\"Direct link to Month 7+: Kubernetes &amp; Beyond\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h3>\n<p>Now you're ready for <strong>Kubernetes</strong>. With Docker and cloud fundamentals under your belt, K8s concepts will click much faster.</p>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"the-secret\">The Secret<a href=\"https://cloudcaptain.io/blog/devops-roadmap#the-secret\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to The Secret\" title=\"Direct link to The Secret\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>The real secret to learning DevOps: <strong>build real projects</strong>. Reading docs and watching videos only gets you so far. Deploy a real application. Break things. Fix them. That's how you learn.</p>\n<p>Check out our full <a class=\"\" href=\"https://cloudcaptain.io/docs/learning-paths/devops\">DevOps Learning Path</a> for detailed resources at every stage.</p>",
