In this video, I talk about the challenge of learning multiple technologies and staying up-to-date with new ones in the DevOps field and how I personally manage not to be overwhelmed by it and make the learning process easier.
As a DevOps engineer you need to learn so many tools to even start your job as a Junior DevOps engineer. So the minimum entry requirement is already very high. But in addition to having to learn 5-10 technologies, this creates another challenge, which is you can’t just learn them in isolation, but you have to know how to combine them too, how to integrate them together to build those processes.
And it doesn’t stop there. To add to this challenge, the DevOps space is developing really fast and we see new technologies, new concepts emerging all the time, so many engineers feel the pressure to learn new tools to use in their projects. So how can you keep an overview and not get too overwhelmed by these, but at the same time still stay up-to-date and know when a new tool comes up that can actually make your work easier, more efficient, or help you and your team in your software development and deployment process.

I enjoy most of your videos relevant to "on ground" operation. DevOps indeed a challenge to all levels not just happily setup alone as well troubleshoot and bug fixes on every single software..Gosh what happen it breaks ..oops !!.. Devops aka middleware i.e understand infra and application to gel all in one. awesome sharing ..
Fantastic lectures!!
Thanks a lot Nana, for your job, your time !
Does you have any devops course on udent
As always a fantastic point of view, totally agree...especially in "how to learn", because it focus the time and learning process in what really matter, that is solve a problem.
I’m a junior devops, I often watch your video, they are sooooooo helpful for me at work. I love the way you explain technology from big picture to practical demos with awesome visualization through the entire process. That’s really human mind friendly. Also, your peaceful tone can always comfort my busy mind in the beginning of learning process. Thank you soooo much! Please keep up with this great work! 👍👍👍
Wow thank you Nicole for this amazing feedback, that makes me happy :)
@@TechWorldwithNana Glad to know 😆😆
Hello I'm training to be a devops engineer, can I connect with you please?
Nana this is not only for DevOps, what you just synthesized in these 12 minutes can be applied in all the IT branches from operations to code development and research, a very good video and I totally agree with these techniques .
Thank you for this great feedback Don!
@@TechWorldwithNana You are really brilliant Nana. In English to boot!
Nana is very smart lady . I love her clarity
Learning is one part, retention is whole new game 😊
Totally agree
And that i think can be supplemented by practicing on real use cases . At least, that's what works for me.
working for a company/manager that doesn't expect you to be 12 people in one with 20 years of experience with react hooks, data warehousing, proficiency in 30 middle tier languages, knowledge of gitlab, github actions, jenkins, jenkin x, ansible, all the linux distros, all the bsds, windows, embedded programming, VR device manufacturing, materials science, native German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian and other human natural languages (they always put "etc" in the job description), and also can clean toilets all for 9$/hr is another thing.
Replication is the hardest! LOL. Imagine do a proof of concept on the fly! Oh man documentation is a real challenge as an engineer!
@@Mrslykid1992 oh yes , there is not enough time in the world for the documentation 😀
I like the emphasis on figuring out why you should learn a given tool and understanding what problem it solves. It’s easy to try to learn a tool because you know it’s what people use, but understanding why and the underlying concepts first helps frame it in your mind when learning.
I spend a lot of time learning new web dev frameworks and npm libraries. And when I jump right in without really taking time before hand what problems it’s mainly addressing and the goals behind it, it’s a much worse learning experience all around or really appreciate the tool for what it solves.
1. Concepts and processes before tools: challenges, steps, pros, cons, why, what is the purposes
2. Learn tools, use cases fit tools in the big picture, what problem does it solves?
3. How does the tool work?
4. how is it compared to other tools?
5. hands on-practice, simple case
6. Expand the use case
7. References - documentation, tutorials
8. Patience - good foundation, makes click
9. Continous learning -community, blogs...keep update
Thanks
Senior developers find it hard to learn new things cause they fail to adapt to change due to feelings of cognitive dissonance . The greatest barrier to this change is the belief that ‘they are smart’. While learning new stuff you experience feeling dumb. Once you learn to identify this stage of cognitive dissonance - and learn to push through it you end up being a life long student. Great video. Keep up the good wirk
I absolutely love your videos. I admire how well-structured your thought process is and your beginner to advanced approach. Kudos 👏
I just started my journey on the DevOps career path. I had no idea how many tools were available, and used together. I will keep this advice in mind as I move through the process of learning all of them. Thanks for sharing!
Not particularly interested in DevOps, but still found these tips helpful. This is can be applied to anything else tech related.
Thank you so much for sharing this content. It's so easy to get overwhelmed but loved what you said about separating "concepts" vs "tools" because this allows you to build different roadmaps of learning to eventually allow them to meet.
Agree as a newbie I am facing…
Really love your series on Kubernetes and Service Mesh, I save those videos in a playlist and watch them to refresh my memory. Thanks!
That's cool, thanks for this great feedback! :)
Awesome video Nana! You hit on some great learning strategies and learning points. The foundational knowledge point is vital. It makes picking up newer concepts much easier. Also, building a home lab helps with practice.
Much awaited video. Thank you Nana for making this video. You put a smile on every one who is overwhelmed and Stressed out or burned out.
This video could not have been recommended to me at a better time! I just made a career switch to DevOps and I feel overwhelmed with all the information out there. Thanks Nana for the advice - will definitely try them!
As someone who transitioned from the nuclear industry (where technology hardly budged over the course of a decade), and literally fell into a MLOps role (where shiny new features and tools are released every minute), I must say that this video made me feel way better. Thanks so much!
Thank you Nana. You’re a super hero and thanks for all you do. This video has gone a long way to help.
Nana, I am a Sr. Business Analyst but I love watching your videos to help me understand complex subjects. They are just the right length for me. You should teach at a college or for those that are trying to learn these concepts.
Spot on, all of your remarks are of importance! I'm enjoying your video's. You obviously are putting a lot of time preparing and presenting. They are clear and concise. Thanks
As always Miss Nana a wonderful video and excellent topic to focus on. Thanks for creating these videos! I can say as a individual from the collective group of the tech world, we all appreciate the effort and content provided from this channel!
Amazing video as always !!. I am already your fan. A perfect guide and and a clear path laid out to people who wants to start with Devops. Thanks 👍
It's really rare to be person having much of knowledge and being excellent at teaching. Thank you very much Nana, I was soaking every word you said in the video.
Thank you Nana for wonderful video. You really broken entire DevOps into simpler steps and make me understand the real picture. Really, I was overwhelmed when I was first learning the GIt Lab, Liquibase, and Docker and trying to learn entire tools and features through their company documentation. Which made me go crazy and not sure how to follow and keep up with project timelines. You are genius and thank you once again for helping folks like me.
Amazing. I'm very proud following people that really love to share knowledge like you do. Thank you so much!
Nana is freaking awesome! I just discovered the channel a few days ago, and have found it a very valuable resource. When learning something new I will now be checking this channel first to see if there's a video on the subject!
I appreciate it, Nana; this is the best video I've ever watched. I currently work as a cloud engineer using an outdated approach of distributing software, but I'm feeling strongly motivated to switch to a career as a DevOps engineer. Actually, I'm getting ready for that. Your channel is quite useful in that regard. Thank you for making such wonderful contents.
Wow! This video comes in just when I need it. I'm in the same boat as many of them here, just started getting into DevOps and already started feeling overwhelmed with the number of concepts and tools I had to learn. I took a course and learning everyday. They teach a variety of DevOps tools / skills needed like Python, Linux, Shell scripting (Docker, AWS, Kubernetes, Ansible are yet to come), and all of them are new to me, I just have a very basic understanding of what they do but not how. So my goal is to learn them deeply.
Your techniques are very helpful and I will keep applying them as I go through the learning process, but I think this DevOps journey is going to take a few years to become better with DevOps. But I'm also afraid of changing tools and technologies very fast these days.
Thank you so much for this valuable content! You've earned a new subscriber :) Please continue the awesome work.
Your videos are always motivating and make for awesome guidelines ! Thanks Nana.
Precious, precious advice for learning literally anything. Problem-oriented learning is the way to go!
@Radical Ed yeah def. Tools come and go. Problems stay.
This video is a wisdom. Just exactly when I was overwhelmed with the new end to end role. Great work + great timing👏👏
Thank you, happy it's useful for you :)
Learn why of the tool before the actual tool and hands-on with a real use case example are the gold suggestion I found in this videos
Thank you! This should be the introduction of all DevOps class or training. I love it! You actually showed me how to be a DevOps in 15 minutes. This is fantastic! Thank you!
7c's of DevOps Continuous (Planning, Development, Integration, Deployment, Testing, Delivery & Monitoring, and Feedback), then 8th C "Continuous Learning" added
Much needed video! Recently started with DevOps and it is indeed overwhelming!
Great to hear! It will get easier, once you have a good foundation. And the good thing is that you will get rewarded for your efforts as it's a very demanded job nowadays :)
@@TechWorldwithNana Rightly said Nana, its been chaotic learning so far because of the timelines. I will re-structure my learning process. This video surely helped!! Thanks a lot!
Don't be afraid. nana has prepared everything you need
Subscribed, I've seen many of your vids in the past. Your explanations are always on point. Really appreciate you!
Thanks so much Josh!
You are always good with the contents. Keep helping the community. If you can add something on devops security in detail it would be great help.
Thanks for all.
Hi Ankush, thanks for your feedback. We will create a complete DevSecOps course probably this year - you can add your email to the waitlist so you will get notified: www.techworld-with-nana.com/course-roadmap
This was super helpful. Thank you. As a junior full stack engineer I’ve found it hard juggling both learning and understanding technologies that I need to know for my job. I’d never heard of terraform before and didn’t know what docker did fully or how it all integrated in aws etc so to be hit all at once was overwhelming.
One thing Ive found that helped me was creating diagrams as I’m quite a visual learner. Also then explaining the tech I’m trying to learn to my husband (who is now thoroughly bored I’m sure, but endures it for me) to help solidify my understanding.
what resources (which youtube channels, tutorials, documentations) did you refer
Nana , Patience is the key I started to learn DevOps Technologies since my 2nd yr in college and eod I landed into the production as a DevOps engineer I agree its always overwhelming with lot of tools personally I also felt the same so to overcome it , be patience learn one by one and get hands dirty
You have been doing really great things pumping people for consistent learning and how to stay upto date by embracing a change in HABIT of LEARNING continously . Thanks a lot for all ur Devops videos it really helps a lot . !
That is super simple but also super effective set of tips! Thankyou!
Thank you Nana, I definitely needed it, I’m trying hard 🎉
This approach is exactly right. Luv your work!
Thanks for another great video!
Like you said, I know various concepts and some tools, but now I know how to resolve the confusions and stay relevant!
Thanks!
Thank you Nana for all these helpful tips. Actually knowing about concepts is what must come first. After knowing about the concepts, learning tools becomes obvious and needed since we do now have a reason for learning the tools. This way it is easy to keep learning.
I always wondered where people find out about new devops tools. Great video, as always!
This channel is gold, thank you!
This is the best video on DevOps overview. Excellent!
Thank you for this Nana, I am on my upskilling journey right now, starting from AWS SAA and moving on to my DevOps destination. My past experience has been in tech support so hopefully this will be a natural progression..
I loved this and all your videos. You are an incredible resource for people learning DevOps. Thank you so much for doing these videos! I agree 100% with the hands-on approach to learning. Also agree with the why before the how concept.
Nailed it!! Felling more confident.
Thanks for being in our life. Lovely greetings to Nana and Nikki 💗
I work as a DevOps engineer since 2 years but until now I could only learn K8s basic and good enough understanding of 2-3 tools(Jenkins,EFK,Prometheus).
But I still feel it’s not enough.
Job markets need more knowledge of diff tools but don’t know how long it will take to reach that level.
Trying to learn every day but time is not enough. It is definitely exhausting at least for me.😏
Thanks Krishor! :)
Thank you, Nana! This is I was needed!
I really needed this video, thank you.
The other point I want to add to the patience category is a lack of progress, especially when you are new to a tool or concept.
This frustrates many people and makes them give up on learning stuff when things simply don't work.
Understand that every single developer you admire or look up to was exactly in that stage not too long ago.
Breathe, go for a quick walk, reset and start again.
❤Thank you!! I really needed this, was much confused about how to do all together.
Hi Nana, it was really amazing video and lot of us were and are facing this issue of staying updated with every new tools coming up every now and then. You broke down every tip perfectly , many of us follow the same way for learning new things , it may not be in this type of proper managed way sometimes due to job or sometimes due to not finding the right content. Your videos always help in one or other way. Looking forward to watching your videos which helps in overall development along with tool/topic specific on devops. Thanks and Regards.
Thanks for the excellent video.. Any tool I learn about, if it is not used in our real life projects, it disappears from our mind quickly.. that's the challenge!... confidence grows only when u use in real life projects.
Love your content! Thanks for creating & sharing!
You helped to tidy up my thoughts, and, even, motivated me.
Thank you, Nana!
Thank you Nana for the great video! You are a great motivational speaker too! ❤️❤️❤️
This was very helpful. What helped the most was the reminder of learning the concepts 1st, then the tools. That opened the way for me.
Really glad the video was helpful Robert!
Perfect! Well said! Lots of people struggle with ever fast expanding devops horizon! 👍
You are just amazing! Thank You Nana for all these helpful tips,
I think good paitence also stems from keeping good motivation to what you're learning. If you hit similar concepts you've already learnt, that can become boring, and demotivating, even though those concepts are foundational to what you're learning.
This was really necessary for me!!! Thanks alot!!
Thanks! Love your approach!
Thanks Nana.
Holding on to these tips for a long time...
You’re gold, Girl! Thanks !
Thank you so much! I really needed this video. ❤❤
Thank You, for an easy explanation of the hard tools!
Thank you Nana for the video and the outstanding explanation!
very relatable and useful video, thanks Nana!
Thanks so much. It's been easier doing my studies in DevOps since after watching your videos. You help make it so much easier.
Such great Teachers and mentors out there !!
Thanks for the tips. I often miss on creating a simple usecase before learning new tool which makes me forget the concepts. This video is very helpful.
Concepts > Tools > Understand the problems the tools solve > Breakdown each step > Apply to your existing project. Thanks alot 😊👍
Thanks for your Videos, your skills as a teacher are juste AMAZNG!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
感谢Nana的分享，在学习Devops期间你的视频真的给我带来了很大帮助💞
Awesome video! Thank you!
Thank you for this video, I learning many things thanks to you! Amazing video!
Thanks Nana, very useful tips to learn DevOps technologies!
i've recently become the tech lead for one of my employer's most used platforms, and one of the challenges i'm facing now is learning all of the surrounding tools and processes around it. Kubernetes was one of those tools so i thought OK, time to learn it. I'm so glad i watched this because you outline the importance of understanding why a tool is needed first, which makes learning the tool itself much easier. Practicing this holistically is great advice. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I was from a full-stack developer bootcamp and somehow I was in an apprenticeship as a SecDevOps. This certainly breakdown the Golden Circle on Dev Ops.
Excellent Nana, thanks for sharing this content!
I subscribed to your channel when you had around 500 subscribers. Now you are at more than 500,000 subscribers.
Hoping to see a million subscribers soon.
Was feeling this just yesterday, thanks Nana ❤️
Very good video, much needed in the ever expanding DevOps tool space.
I see you had put full effort on your teaching video. You are standing out from other people. Good luck.
Thanks the the video... it was a good reminder. 👏🏻
Hello Nana, hi community. First I say thank you for this and your other videos about how to become a DevOps Engineer. You made my day, by explaining that concepts first is the way to go. I started learning to code and how to do software development and deployment earlier this year and first became a victim of the so called Tutorial Hell. I will sure follow your suggestions on how to learn the things. For me, the most annoying and difficult obstacle to get it going is, that I need the Cloud Providers. As an IT Systems Engineer I could learn much stuff by using some old hardware and get my hands dirty on it. While all major Cloud Providers offer free tiers and services, you gotta have a university degree to dig their offer and price structure. My first step now is to find the right platform to start with. Self hosting a cloud seems not to be so easy. Thanks again, and I'm for sure subscribed and liked and I am looking forward to see more of your videos. Have a good time you all and happy automating.
Thank you. This video has put my mind somewhat at easy.
Learning DevOps can be very stressful.
This video helped me a lot, it's simple and easy to understand, thanks nana 😁
Thanks for your Guidance Nana.
thank you for your sharing. this is really helpful for me.
Excellent video, and must watch even by experts.
Good job 👍👍👍💯
Thanks for the video you touched on a good point about not rushing and 1 step at the time. The challenge i am having is getting an interview not sur if my resume is poorly written or i should just wait.
My passion is DevOps and for me it's the future. Awesome breakdown! I want to be like you when I grow up 😉
Thanks a lot Nana, I really love you and the way you explained in details 🌹👌👍🏼
OMG!! 🤯!! Much needed. Was an ArcSight SIEM admin then SPLUNK ES with little accessibility and now onto Elasticsearch. All in a little over 3 years and being introduced to DevOps as it now a requirement for Cyber Security Administration/Specialist.Started with Bitbucket without the WHY lol and now...so many tools
Very good practical advice, thank you!
