My Journey from Business Operations to IT: A Leap of Faith into Cloud Computing and DevOps

Hello DEV Community!

I'm Bhanu Dixit, currently working as a Business Operations Analyst at Accenture in Mumbai. With over three years of experience working with the Spanish language at a US-based travel agency, I've always enjoyed the challenges and opportunities that my role provided. However, as technology continues to evolve and shape the future, I found myself drawn to the world of IT, specifically Cloud Computing and DevOps.

Why the Shift?
While my career in business operations has been fulfilling, I felt the urge to explore something new, something more aligned with the future of work. IT, especially Cloud Computing and DevOps, stood out to me as fields with immense potential for growth and innovation. The idea of automating processes, managing infrastructure, and deploying applications in a seamless and scalable way excites me.

My Learning Journey
I'm currently diving deep into the world of Cloud Computing and DevOps. I've been exploring various platforms, courses, and tools to build a solid foundation in these areas. Here's a quick look at what I've been focusing on:

Cloud Platforms: Learning the basics of AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
DevOps Tools: Getting hands-on with Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, and Ansible.
Certifications: Working towards certifications like AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Certified Kubernetes Administrator.
Challenges and Milestones
Transitioning from a non-technical to a technical field isn't easy. The learning curve can be steep, and there are days when it feels overwhelming. But every small win, whether it's deploying my first containerized app or passing a certification exam, fuels my motivation to keep going.

What's Next?
My goal is to eventually land a role in IT, where I can apply my newfound skills in Cloud Computing and DevOps. I'm eager to contribute to projects, collaborate with like-minded individuals, and continue learning along the way.

Why Iā€™m Sharing This
I believe that sharing our journeys not only helps us reflect on our own progress but also inspires others who might be on a similar path. If you're someone who's also transitioning into IT or learning Cloud Computing and DevOps, I'd love to connect! Let's support each other in this exciting journey.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to engaging with the community!
