DevOps sounds like a long list of tools. In practice, most beginners learn it in a fixed order, because each tool depends on the one before. This guide sets out that order and what to practise at each step.
1. Linux first
Almost every server runs Linux. Learn to move around the file system, set file permissions, read logs, and write a short shell script. Practise on a free virtual machine.
2. Cloud basics next
Learn how a cloud platform works: virtual servers, storage, networks, and access control. The AWS course page lists AWS as one of the core tools. Practise by launching one small server and stopping it when you finish.
3. Containers
Docker packages an application with everything it needs to run. Build one image of a small web app, run it, and check the logs.
4. Orchestration
Kubernetes runs many containers and restarts them when they fail. Learn the basic objects (pods, deployments, services) before you read any advanced material.
5. Automation
Jenkins runs build and deploy steps automatically. Ansible sets up servers the same way every time. Practise one pipeline that builds, tests and deploys your small app.
What to show an employer
One repository with the Linux script, the Dockerfile, the pipeline file, and a short README that says what each one does and what you would improve next.
