If you are starting DevOps and feel overwhelmed, this video gives you a practical roadmap you can actually follow.
In this walkthrough, I break down what to learn first, what to ignore for now, and the fastest way to become job-ready through hands-on projects.
✅ What you will learn:
The fundamentals to start with: Linux and Git
How to pick one cloud platform and go deep
What CI/CD skills matter most
