If you have any experience with devops job and you could give some advice please let me know.

Hey, if you're looking to break into a junior DevOps role, it's a smart move to lean into your Python automation experience by getting hands-on with some core DevOps tools like Docker (check out https://docs.docker.com/) and Kubernetes (https://kubernetes.io/docs/), plus dabble in some cloud platforms like AWS (https://aws.amazon.com/free/) or Google Cloud so you can understand infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines.

Since you've already built a portfolio, consider enhancing it with projects that showcase these tools in action and look into entry-level certifications such as the https://aws.amazon.com/certification/certified-solutions-architect-associate/ or the Google Associate Cloud Engineer to boost your resume. Additionally, brushing up on continuous integration tools like Jenkins Documentation or https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/ and getting familiar with monitoring tools like Prometheus Docs can round out your skills; there are also plenty of free tutorials available on sites like https://www.katacoda.com that are super beginner-friendly. Good luck!

You can try LinkedIn. You could apply there.

Junior DevOPS ok I think active forums and social media groups in tech startups, servers & hosting related niche should be good place to start. Linkedin, FB groups, Upwork should also help.

hey - I work very closely with a DevOps team at my day job, - I highly suggest joining any local tech meetups, network is extremely valuable in finding scarce junior positions. Learning infrastructure - K8S, Docker as another user has mentioned are extremely useful in this day, and knowing the fundamental of cloud (eg AWS, GCP, Azure) are all useful. There's plenty of qualifications you can get too from these firms and also the likes of COMPTIA, CISCO. feel free to ping me if you have any specific questions, but you'll definitely want to branch out your knowledge from programming/automation into generic infrastructure, linux, databases, etc

Junior devOp = recipe to disaster, sorry lol!!


Probably apply for apprenticeship. It won’t pay you much but you will end up learning a lot, with a chance to get included in a real world team. IMHO getting a programming job would be easier if you apply for everything you see (naukri app etc).
