Learn Git

In general, you should be comfortable with:

• Commit changes to a project
• Submit pull/merge requests
• Working with branches
• Rebase changes (change order, squash, ...)

Interactive Git Branching Learning	Visual and interactive way to learn Git branching
Learn git concepts, not commands	Article on Git concepts

Programming

Practicing DevOps without knowing programming is like eating cornflakes with ketchup - it's just doesn't makes sense... (yes, my analogies are the worst). Here is a list of some good sites to practice programming in general:

Name	Comments
HackerRank	Practice Coding skills
Exercism	Over 48 languages and 2600 exercises
LeetCode	Practice programming online

A better approach might be to actually write some DevOps related scripts or projects. Start simple. Here are some ideas:

• Write a script that gets a number of instances and a name of a platform (AWS, local, Azure, ...) as parameters and provisions those instances on the chosen platform
• Write a script to parse logs and extract some specific information you are interested in

Operating Systems

Deep dive into operation system internals. I would say choose Linux but I must admin I'm biased. If you did choose Linux, here is a list of resources that will help you learn Linux

Name	Comments
Linux Journey	Written guides + exercises + quiz
Techmint Linux	Written articles/lessons
Linux Survival	Interactive guide

Once you are familiar with the commands and feel comfortable enough to keep deep diving, learn some OS concepts:

• Memory Management
• Processes
• Kernel
• Virtulization

Tools, Apps & Services

Periodic table of DevOps tools	Table of DevOps tools per category
DevOps tool chest	List of DevOps tools
DevOps Bookmarks	NSIA
CNCF Cloud Native Interactive Landscape	CNCF's recommended path through the cloud native landscape
DevOpsBookmarks	To discover tools in the devops landscape.

Practice and learning sites

Learning by doing proved to be a very effective way to learn new things. If you are at a point where you don't feel comfortable enough to do it by yourself and you look for some guidance, the following sites might assist you

Name	Description
KataKoda	Linux, Docker, ML, Kubernetes, ... environments and scenarios
QWIKLBAS	AWS, GCP, ... lab practice

Community

Another great way to learn is to learn from the experience of others. For that, the are some excellent DevOps communities.

Name	Comments
Reddit DevOps	Reddit DevOps Community
Linkedin DevOps	Linkedin DevOps Community
DevOps Bits	Facebook DevOps group. Disclosure: I started it :)

Books

Read book! Practice is important and the best way to learn practical things but reading about cultures, methods, concepts, ... has its own important role in your path towards mastering DevOps and SRE.
