DevOps learning path

Automate first. Then containerize. Then orchestrate.

DevOps is more than a collection of tools. This path starts with repeatable Linux automation, moves into containers, and then introduces orchestration so each new skill has a clear reason to exist.

Recommended sequence

Build capabilities in dependency order.

Linux remains the foundation. Ansible teaches automation, Docker teaches packaging, and Kubernetes teaches orchestration.
