I work in fintech in NYC. I've been working with Azure (Microsoft Cloud) for the last few years. Now im doing AWS certifications python and linux. I think having these two tracks will serve me well.
All the Jobs are 6 figures plus.
But one thing I cannot stress enough...build projects to accelerate your learning. Book study is never enough in tech
What projects do you recommend? Would an open-source DevOps project for a non-profit be beneficial? Someone invited me to that. I know it's old, but I'm thinking of doing a website using the LAMP stack. For certifications, I'm looking at Linux+ and Google IT Automation w/ Python. Thanks in advance.
@@duncansiror5033 You're on the right track bro. All of that sounds great.
What you want to make sure of, is that your projects demonstrate proficiency with the desired DevOps skill sets.
So def build a DevOps Pipeline as part of your web project that is triggered by updates to the main repo -- that's CI/CD. If you use AWS free tier services, you can implement Identity Access Management (IAM )to handle your users etc. All valuable skills.
Lot of videos on youtube about how to do that at a pro level.
Also, try to learn about building an API using Python, and build a project using that. So for example, you could use the yahoo finance API to consume stock data into your database, and then build your own API frontend to serve that data to a user. It sounds like a lot, but once you get going its not too bad.
When you're done you can include your repo as part of your resume
Give yourself plenty of time 🙂
I've been developing products on linux systems (embedded and web) for 20 years now. It's been very lucrative.
what types of embedded projects have you been making? im very curious as ive recently acquired an embedded technology interest
@@improvisedchaos8904 Over the years, I've done tons. Telecom monitoring systems, spray tanning machines (versaspa pro, mystic tan), KVM matrix switches, power monitoring and control systems, industrial vending systems, etc. Generally we use custom-built PCBs that are capable of running embedded linux (yocto).
This video is the best. I grew up hustling.. had a plug on 153 & broadway. Left the streets and jumped head first in Linux. Everything from docker to kubernetes to virtualization is built on the Linux backbone. Glad to see “Mi Gente” teaching the Mundo!! Paaalabra!!!! Bendicion!!! Sigue Sigue!!!
Thanks for the encouragement. We didn't think this episode would resonate for so many people.
I started Linux this year and I must say I am excited.
I saw Linux on many websites when downloading a software and I never know much about it until I decided to pursue cybersecurity, then I saw it's most powerful 🔥
Subscribed!
Excited to hear about your venture into Linux! It’s a cornerstone in cybersecurity. Your curiosity and dedication are exactly what the tech world needs. Keep pushing the boundaries!
Linux is the backbone of everything. Great video
Yeah it is, I even use Linux for my personal desktop. I use fedora 40.
I use a good old MACBOOK PRO for my personal computer.
"How We Transitioned Into a Linux Tech Career Successfully 14 years ago" should be the full title. The amount of knowledge and skill to transition today is nowhere near what you could get away with 14 years ago.
What are all the things required now if you don’t mind me asking?
I like that. Expand a little more on what skills a Linux admin in 2024 should have. Maybe that could be the topic of another video
@@thelonggamebyJV Please make that video! It would be very helpful and greatly appreciated!
I have been hearing about Yellow Tail in 2022 when I first started my cybersecurity journey. Great reviews, and if I had known back then, I wouldn't have sent some of my friends to the other bootcamps.😅
I went the cybersecurity route and got my Linux training on the way. LINUX is the backbone of everything. It has served me moving away from grc to cloud security and ethical hacking roles. I got my Linux+ first, then my RHSCA. Most of my certifications were free and I took advantage as a veteran.
Ouhhhh this is exactly my order of certificates. Got both on first tries, did you get a job yet? I feel like I’m not getting one yet because of my age/look (I just turned 21 btw)
Did you self study?
@thelonggamebyJV Yes, my certifications have been mostly self-study. I've taken a boot camp, but they rushed the material, so I still ended up self-studying. I have a few certifications now, but I probably wouldn't have gotten so much if it wasn't free. Now I'm working on my Sans certifications.
@anthonymahounou9270 My son is 18. He was doing various hacking. I recently found out years before that, and I pushed him towards pentesting and doing it ethically. He was able to land a soc role while networking with me. He now decides he doesn't like cybersecurity and wants to become a software engineer. He already has the coding skills but wants to build on it, so he's taking a boot camp in July. Age has nothing to do with it. He's younger than you. What I can say helped me as a business owner who went into cybersecurity. Networking is very important. I joined a few organizations and started going to events to form organic relationships. I think it's a bit harder online, but it's still an option. I still had my business, but I had to slow down to focus on cybersecurity.
Actually it was UNIX licensed by AT&T / Bell Labs back in the 60s before Solaris in the early 90s.
Thank you for this video
I first saw you on the AO show. I'm just starting a new job Mon April 22 so I need to make some money in order to be able to afford your monthly membership program . So thanks again for this content. You refreshed my memory from a couple of months ago.
Thankyou for the suppport. All the best at your new job!
Awesome to have been recommended this video! I'm watching from Kenya and would love to connect with you for networking opportunities in Linux. Such programs would surely make an impact on this side of the world.
It's inspiring to see the global reach of Linux programs. Excited for what's ahead!
you earned yourself a subscriber
I will transition Linux to Salesforce..
Linux is good but nobody will told if you go with Linux you will deal with hectic shifts..
Because in industry 70% server and production work is with Linux. And Linux job need high availability of the individual person....
In common word if you don't like 24/7 job then don't go with Linux.........
At least all gender studies majors stay away.
Typically. Our Alums find great life/work balance and remote work opportunities in Linux Sys admin work. The big workload you are referring to is when its a small environment with limited team members.
great stuff
Thanks for sharing guys. Hopefully I learn more about how lenicks is around me.
Glad you liked it!
I learned about linux in college as well. Heard about it in high school, found out i could use it for hacking in college. It became my daily driver in 2010 and I started using it professionally in 2018 and never looked back.
Great to see how your journey with Linux evolved from curiosity to professional use! It’s a powerful tool that opens so many doors. Thanks for sharing your experience!
You need to scale. I am new to Linux and stumbles across yellow tail, but you onky cater to the US. I'm in South Africa. Linux rocks. The bug bit me😂
The US market is so big that there is no need for us to expand internationally (yet)
Humble point of correction Solaris didnt evolve into linux. Linux is the Intel chip port of UNIX, created by Linus Torvalds
Thanks for pointing that out! It was an oversimplification. Linux and Solaris are both influenced by unix but are indeed separate.
Linux is the Intel-port of UNIX? Your correction is also entirely wrong, my friend. ENTIRELY.
@therealscifi 💯 there is SO much misinformation and click bait nowadays when it comes to opensource, I usually don't bother paying it any mind anymore lol
@@yusef3132 Couldn't have said that better myself.
Linux is a kind of clone of Unix, but it is not Unix. Solaris is a Sun Microsystem and now Oracle's proprietary Unix.
been using linux for two years and i'm happy, cocky, fluid on the cli, scripting everything swiftly and securely cause i can review the source code in depth before installing on my system.
Which distro are you using?
@@thelonggamebyJV I tried them all including arch but i finally settled for fedora, I run kali on a vm and I also got various debian liveboots on ventoy
@@thelonggamebyJV Tried them all bro, But I finally settled for fedora, I use kali on a vm and I have various debian liveboots on ventoy
Do you use linux at work or just personal use?
Linux guy here, amazing F… interview
Thank you. We’ll keep them coming
Which LINUX BOX or HARDWARE do you recommend to run Linux normally, or even, OPTIMALLY?
We mostly run the OS in a virtualized environment like VMware or Virtualbox
@@thelonggamebyJV I asked about the HARDWARE and NOT the software environment.
It depends, if its for a home lab, any personal PC or MAC could do, even a raspberry pie. If its for an enterprise production environment, that a whole separate conversation that requires a separate video :-)
Linux is great...I like it a lot. I use windows and linux systems together. Linux is a great addition to the Microsoft stack. Still need Microsoft tho.
Nice to hear you're using both Windows and Linux! Each has its strengths, making them a powerful combo.
great advice here, and great video quality
Thank you. Please suggest any topic you’d like us to discuss next.
Finally a space where i feel welcomed....
Glad to here. Why do you feel welcome here?
Is this good for side income?
No. This is the kind of skill that needs dedication. Its better suited to be your main gig.
Android also uses a Linux kernel. :)
Facts
I want to truly learn Linux
Yes. Its definitely a skill you won’t regret having
If you are located in the US. Check us out. Link is in the description.
I wish I had the mentorship or now me to talk to 2000 me to NOT to try to learn everything. I wish I had stuck with Unix/Linux and learned it then like I want to now.. so much time wasted..
What do you do currently?
help am self thouthwhere to start
Start with a simple udemy course and see if you like it.
Have been a Lnux user since 2003!...and while I haven't made it a career focus?..I'm beginning to think I SHOULD have?...instead I chased down Python / Front End Web Developement..(and I haven't finished with those either!!) but Having had a "background" in Linux?..and having used Fedora for the longest while?...using VS code on a Linux platform?..its a lot easier than it would have been on Windows...(which has become my "kryptonite"!...LOL! I CAN'T use Windows because its just too screwed up!...Midne you for the job I currently have I have to use it...but I'm constantly angling to use Linux wherever I can!!
Sounds like you've had quite the journey with Linux and development! It’s never too late to refocus your career if that’s what you're passionate about.
thank you guy for sharing your story and history
Thank you. We figured that there is already enough hyper-technical content out there.
