KubeCraft Career Accelerator - acknowledgement and giving credit where credit is due

This is a praise for the paid community because they 100% deserve it.

and everyone else involved in building the community should really get the recognition.

I am writing this post after getting my first DevOps position. It included a long journey of over a year to facilitate this transition from end-user support/system administration.

I could not have done it without joining KubeCraft last October. I was advancing pretty well before but joining KubeCraft was a game-changer, it has paved me the way to compete for positions and being relevant in the DevOps/cloud job market.

It is a safe haven, the ultimate place for self growth. In so many aspects, not only in relation to DevOps.

I will also highlight the respectful discussions, technical insights, career and professional tips, inclusion, and acceptance.

Non of what I have mentioned is taken for granted in our current Internet landscape.

I would also like to mention all the wonderful courses in the classroom that improved my soft and hard skills alike and were/are still instrumental in my journey:

- The Kubernetes related courses (fundamentals, homelab, and advanced) - get your hands dirty and start building, breaking, and fixing systems over and over again

- The Arch Linux course - strong Linux foundations are non negotiable and digging into an Arch installation and transforming it into your daily driver is so beneficial

- The devcontainers, Neovim, and config management course - think encapsulation, portability, and allowing collaboration between teams

- The DevOps masterclass course - a real gem by

@Mischa van den Burg

. It helped me understand better modern release management practices and CI/CD pipelines

- The interview preparation course - very well constructed. This helped me change my perception and become better during interviews

Always remember that hard work pays off!
