Sir what is name of udemy course expert?..
Thanks Ajith. You are perfect example that anything can be achieved with hardwork in right direction ofcourse. He has shown us that we don’t have to wait for opportunities that one day will come that changes everything, instead he has taken quick actions at the right time to reach his aspirations(monetary/new technology & tools). Thanks GK for bringing live experiences to the channel. Much appreciated. And all the best to the viewers for your career aspirations.
HBD Ajith
Much useful video , thanks for sharing. All the best for ur career.
Happy Birthday Ajith. Thanks for sharing your exp. Much needed for me
Many more happy returns of the day Ajith 💐💐..Nice experience sharing.thanks
Great session…really appreciate the time and efforts you guys put in for sharing your experiences. Very informative.
Thanks for sharing experiences like this. I was also in a Networking field almost 5.5 years & in same company with having only a 3.6 LPA salary which offcourse very less. Then I started learning more on AWS cloud, DevOps technology ,daily 2 hours study for almost 6 months continuesly. After that i never looked back then switches two companies. Now my salary hike got 200% in 2 years. Focus , dedication and hard work is the only thing you need to be successful. Also no matter in which cloud you start with, as I started working on AWS and now working on GCP projects.
How did u manage to get interview calls as you weren't having prior work ex in devops field
Only learning helped developing an understanding ?
Hi @Gurveen I have not directly jump into DevOps technology or interviews..I started giving all Cloud infrastructure interviews then switched job in Cloud Infrastructure and operations where I can applied my networking skills and worked almost 1 year in end to end delivery of projects. After an year I focused on DevOps technology.
Hi @adarsh , i have not understood your question. Please elaborate more on it
@@vaibhav23a i meant learning tgru different sources alone can get a job with hike or handson is required.. Like how long can one wxpect to learn it completely
WOW!!!

Hi all
Can anyone please suggest me
Is it a good choice to switch domain from QA . I have 3 years of experience in QA both automation and manual.
If domain switch is better please suggest me the better choice .
Awesome sir,.
That's the question in mind since from long time
Finally got the answer!!
Thank you!!
Thanks, GK and Ajith!
Even I was a QA and in the same boat to get in DevOps. What you mentioned is absolutely correct and very short and crisp. The only change in my approach is going for Azure but as a DevOps, I'm sure I'll be going for AWS services as it's in high demand at this stage. My personal choice is to be an expert in K8S as it's something I really liked and challenged me to the core.
Wish you an excellent career in the future.
Belated Happy Birthday!
Glad that u liked the video..
K8s going to rule in future...all the best
Hi dhruv did you fake in interview that my position was QA but simultaneously i work on cloud or aws ,or you just said i know aws?
@@AB-fx7ge Not given any interview yet so no comments as of now. Would recommend going for real-time projects online which can really give you hands-on. No one is born with any experience other than crying and yet we achieve our goals.
Azure also has high demand all big enterprises uses azure
Hello sir I got a position as QA Engineer at a product based company. Can I switch to Devops after 2 years expereince ?
Did Linux Administration is Mandatory to learn Cloud and Devops? Previous videous(Road map) from GK says Basic Linux commands is enough. If yes, we need to learn Linux Administration how many hours we need to spend to understand and learn?
In future, if anyone asked me who helped me in my early devops carrer and in defining carrer roadmap, answer will be incomplete without mention of Cloud Advocate. Thanks GK!
Happy birthday 🎉 Ajith
Useful video

Hello GK & Friend,
I need advice in career switch. Currently I'm working as Security Engineer on azure sentinel. I have experience in logging & monitoring, web application pentesting, network pentesting. I have knowledge of azure, aws(sysops), linux, python scripting & bash scripting.
So should i switch to DevSecOps or devops. I was thinking to go in devops first and work for 2 yrs and then in DevSecOps.
What would be your advice? I'm in confusion because there are less job in DevSecOps and that too requires experience and also i don't know how well DevSecOps pays as it's new.
Super Ajith

Hello GK and Ajith sir, Its possibly the best thing that happened here. Thanks a lot for this, it really helped me paving my path to become a DevOps Engineer. I was literally struggling on how and where to start and how to proceed but this really helped a lot. I have 4 years of IT experience in backend development but somehow i don't like it and wanted to switch to DevOps and Cloud.
Thank you ❤️

Hi @Ajit, Happy belated Birthday.!
I'm into QA with four years of experience in QA
I don't have any knowledge on shell scripting and other Courses.
All I have is selenium, version control management and creating free style build on jenkins
Can I learn devops with the technologies mentioned on the video?
Absolutely..with the tools mentioned..i could say you already know 10-15 per of devops and you have major advantage over others...
since automation testing and jenkins is part of devops too..
All the very best
Any DevOps engineer here just want to know how much programming knowledge is needed? I am working as a IAM admin(Infrastructure support) and having knowledge of scripting. Know about Git, SVN. Want to move in DevOps but scared of Programming. Please guide.

Hi, I started to learn AWS cloud. Can you guide to me to achieve that please?
HI , Thank you for this video a very good information. I request you to provide a sample resume for DevOps as I am also trying to switch from Manual QA to DevOps.
superb anna
Hi GK, I am beginner to this Cloud technology. Could you please confirm, whether it's mandatory to know the DevOps to become Cloud Engineer ? OR it's an added advantage ? In my case I am referring GCP here.
Dude , learn linux and networking, first clear your fundamentals,then start learning cloud, and i will recommend you to learn aws or azure first, and you don't need about any devops tools to learn cloud.
Nice video GK
Got to know the complete picture of DevOps and Cloud jobs
Keep doing the good work.
Thanks for all your guidance
Hi Ajith I have a question while switching ur first Company from Cap to StartUp company what did u mention ur experience as Like did u tell them that u were working in Devops in Cap?
Hello Kishore.. i mentioned that i had 2 yrs of experience with devops..since 2 yrs is not big ..we can acquire same knowledge that 2 yrs experience guys usually have ..
If we already have more experience and trying to switch ..lets say if u have 6 yrs of IT experience..you could say that relevant experience is 3 years..
Companies don't mind this as long as you prepare well and satisfy them..
Hello...Sir I wanted to ask you something I am doing etl testing in Deloitte and having experience of 9 months. thinking of Switching to devops after 2 years is it good to go?I mean next 1 years i will be learning devops..then swicth the company will it be good to go further. Even i dont like testing learning the devops technology would be good enough to crack. what if they want devops work experience in my previous company.plz explain
QA/Test engineers are the very suitable profiles for Cloud and DevOps automation roles.
Honest man 👍
Hi,
Can you please suggest me for my career.
I have 3 years of exp in old technology.
I am trying to switch my carreer.
Can u please suggest is Devops or Mulesoft(integration) will be good for career .
Thanks in advance
From what i heard DevOps is better
Can I transition my career from SAP BODS to devops?
Hello Gk bro . Aws devoos engineer rotation shift or day shift ??? Bro
Hi GK, Did Ajith faked in the resume/interviews that he is working in a cloud project??
If we are switching whether we should mention in the resume that we are working in a support project or QA etc?? Will this have a bad impact? Please reply what should we do. Thanks for your efforts!
definitely have to fake the resume. otherwise no one will give you the job
@@itsmyday720 what if they'll do background check and by any chance they came to know??
@@khanmohammad6725 they will remove the person . nothing else. take exp letter from good consultancy
Hi Bro, Can you please elaborate,
Is it not possible to switch from QA Manual to DevOps having 4+ yrs of complete experience in Manual Testing?
If we do a switch to DevOps in new company by giving interviews, Are they (new MNC company) going to check and do a BGV that whether if you are from DevOps and have real time work experience?
can u please make a detailed video on how to switch from support to devOps
Hi GK Sir great video. Finally got through an interview and HR round in a company they have also agreed to match my asking CTC and have provided a full breakup in mail. However they want me to clear a DevOps Assessment Online test again only after which they will send a offer letter. They are saying this is just a formality although they want me to do well. Does this usually happen in companies or is it another screening test? Because online technical test post HR round and salary agreeing looks a bit wierd.
I am not aware of this. Usually screening happens at first round.
Sir i am fresh b.tech 2022 passout student. I want to learn cloud computing.
Can BBA graduates make their career in Devops ?
HI @ reddy ajith Myself having a experience of 4 years as Support engineer. Planning to shift to devops, so I started learning devops through an online course .But I am struggling with a single question that how come we get aware of real-time work and terms & How come we gain knowledge on real-time. In order to perform in interview.(please elaborate)
Hi,
Don't worry it happens to everyone. Start practising in ur own environment and then take some realtime course.
Start going through interview questions online and make questions out of ur resume..moreover keep attending interviews
Currently working in ansible and ocp need to learn aws also is it fine I can switch to aws and be a multiple cloud engineer
Yes..logic behind all the clouds are very similar just naming conventions are different..i would recommend aws as it has soo many services to start working
I have 1 year experience in devops.... Can i shift company?
Can anyone experienced tell me hows your work experience as a devopes or cloud engineer
very helpful.
Even I'm in capgemini lol and in pega and currently learning Azure and will switch next year.... My experience in Capgemini isn't good lol...
Sir bcom computers valaki aws devops bagutadi ha leka Azure course bagutadi ha sir
Very useful
@Ajit Can you please tell us which edureka course and Udemy Course have you joined for realtime scenarios? Thx.
U can take any edureka course ( should be live session )..around 6 weeks long
@@reddyajith9508 Thx.
Thank you so much GK and Ajith for this informative video.
I have one question, I have joined Capgemini as a fresher. And last month I got a project in the Automation Development domain.
The team is using Python and Powershell for coding. Currently, I'm attending training for the ansible and Jenkins tools. So, is it a good start for a DevOps career? I want to switch this company after the completion of a 2 yrs bond. So can you guide me on how I make my skillset stronger, so that I will get better opportunities?
Good that you started to plan in very beginning of your career.
At this moment you focus much on python and powershell . Try to understand your project end to end instead of understanding only ur part .Also focus on improving soft skills and management skills.
in your free time you can learn AWS , linux adminstration and Jenkins CICD.
@@reddyajith9508 Yeah okay. Thank you for your reply.
Hey is it easy to shift from QA Automation to Devops role after 2 years of expereince ? I have got QA role in a reputed product based compnay with good salary. Any suggestions ?
now u r working as qa? if u r getting good salary then stick to it...
I did understand that he faked his QA experience as Devops/cloud experience. it wont show much impact during interviews if we have some good knowledge on Devops tools. but what about the relieving letter/experience letter? the new organization would definitely ask to submit the relieving letter of the previous org. the letter will mention his position as QA engineer/Automation QA, then it might be a problem right?
So in your resume you mentioned your first two years of experience in devops while you worked on QA. We need to do the same when we are trying to switch to other technology?
If u r confident ..u can mention like that
They ask experience
Hey Gk, currently i am working as a release engineer which is close to devops but it is a QA role, can i get into companies with devops role easily?
Yes you can...as you rightly said release engineer is part of DevOps.
Will you teach any devops related topics in zoom
Anyone please tell me where is vacancy for fresher
You have mentioned that we should be very good at AWS. But there are multiple modules in AWS. How in-depth should we learn?
You can concentrate on major aws services first like EC2, VPC ( sg, subnets, nat, ig), ELB, cloudwatch, s3, rds, cloudformation, IAM etc
@@reddyajith9508 thank you
I wish I also get someone like indra to guide
You got us already 🥰
Wonderful discussion guys!! kudos to Ajith for his career and GK keep coming with such honest videos. Did he say 30 LPA some where like its kind of dream come true like me stuck at 4 LPA in a support job since past 8 years recently moved to Linux admin where other teams do Devops work but seniors are so arrogant that they are not even ready to share what exactly do they do. Learning Devops through youtube itself , just curious to know if 30 LPA is really possible even 20 LPA I would say in 1 year or so?? with extreme hardwork. Cheers!! and thanks in advance for answering my question.
Don't worry..you ctc will not be same forever..
spend some time on aws , cicd you can switch it and earn it..
One good thing is..you already have idea on linux administration so you are one step ahead than others 😀..
Regarding your ctc..it may take some time to reach 20 lpa..bcz you may need atleast 2 switches or more ..
I would suggest u to focus now only on devops stack and ctc will follow you🤣..
And your guess is correct on my ctc
@@reddyajith9508 @reddy ajith Thanks for the prompt response. By the way Happy Bday . And I have sent a connection request on Linkedin. I am very new to linked in. And might be you as a mentor who can guide a little bit. ;)
And yes, its a Devops environment with docker, chef. All of them are running on AWS itself. So observing and learning.
@@rahularora3132 I want to start my career in IT. Earlier I wasted 6 years for preparing competitive exams. Now I want to learn Linux+aws cloud combination. Is it good option for me? any suggestion is appreciable.
@@dineshvarma4804 GK has created number of videos, go through the videos tab, watch the relevant video and you will get your answers.
Hey Gk i am qa and if i learn devops and want to movie to devops from qa then while searching oppo what should i tell interviewer that i work as qa and i know cloud and all or something else means oppo are for exp personals why should they consider me or just need know cloud they will accept me as exp prof…and thanks video was informative..
You should work harder to get technical knowledge as same as real DevOps engineer. You could mention that you started working on devops from past 1 0r 2 years. If interviewer finds you worthy , why would he worry about how much experience you have ?
I have seen so many friends of mine switched to devops from QA , Support roles. If it is possible for them , it is possible for you too. All the best.
Hi Ajith, Feeling confident after watching this interview you inspired me by the journey you have shared. I am working in support domain with the profile name network operation analyst which is causing rejection of my resume as per my thinking. Does your profile name really matters for career switch?
We r glad that this video helped u.
People usually don't consider ur designation much..bcz it changes from company to company..
Otherwise U don't need to mention ur designation in resume ..
can you tell the ctc package you got in startup after the first switch? i am in the same path right now and bit unsure about money in devops in india
It depends on company ..i was getting 3 lpa in capgemini...startup offered me 7 lpa.
@Muthu Krishnan almost correct..my total experience is 6 yr 10 months (2 yr 6 months is testing) ..you can have a look at my linkedin profile to understand more
@@reddyajith9508 thanks bro , i am also in the same path as you , but bit late .. 3.5years experience preparing for devops , i have prod support role ..
@@tanmaysingh6614 it is never be too late paaji..don't worry..you can still switch...dedicate more time after office hours and go through official aws docs in ur office free time..wish you good luck
