You posting a video - me: automatic like, and stopping everything I do, to watch it. Thank you very much 🙏🏻

[@alexrusin]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I, actually, disagree about certification. SAA gave me a much better understanding of AWS as a whole (something you talk about in your first point). I was also able to understand certain general concepts, like networking, much better.

[@ritz266]

Love the way you explain! Simple and to the point! Keep going!

[@nazokatisamova5073]

which microphone do you use?

[@josuealexis6663]

Brother how can u help me with my vps i can't seem to login help please.. ???

[@jorgetovar621]

In summary hands on > certifications

[@hevo1]

It is obvious that certifications are not a way to go. API's, structure, pricing, infrastructures, change the services all the time.

[@seanhutchins1]

How to be devops without +3yrs exp and degree?😮 have certs, know quit a bit, can't get a job. :(

[@PeterSaumur]

Get experience (more important) or get a degree (less important than experience)

[@Dom-zy1qy]

​@PeterSaumur Work experience or experience gained from personal projects? I have no tech work exp but I have 3 relatively complex projects on my resume. Haven't even spoken to a human hiring manager, just automatic rejection emails.
Thing is I hear people with degrees have the same problem, I've probably only applied to ~100 places that I'm qualified for. I wonder if I should just keep trying or go for a degree.
