  • Thats a long list of things to cover, how much free time do you have?

    a lot? I’m working about 30 hours/week + wrapping up my undergrad in Computer Engineering online, but should be done with that this year. With that in mind, I need to get as much viable experience as possible in between now and graduation so that I’ll actually be qualified when application time comes

    I’ve set up my server before as a remote desktop running Ubuntu, but essentially didn’t really use it other than tinkering. Then I set up a NAS, then nuked it and set up Proxmox + Ubuntu server and would just SSH into it to tinker.

    Now that I’ve played the game and I’ve seen that i can do it, I want to dive in the deep end of what enterprise grade stuff should feel like. In terms of certs, I’ve done a few AWS courses from AWS but they all seemed pretty… useless? Almost entirely common sense information from the beginner certs and I learned nothing. So I gave up on that and will be aiming for project experience instead.

    Lowkey I want to get a job as a devops engineer eventually (may make a new post asking for advice) but I was thinking of trying to set up my homelab using kubernetes. I know it’s overkill but I need the project experience and want to learn it, so I was considering LocalHost (self hosted aws-like thingy I think) + terraform / kubernetes to config everything
