βš“ Day 22 of My DevOps Journey: Strengthening Networking Basics 🌐

Hello DevOps community! πŸ‘‹

For the past 3 weeks, I’ve been laying the foundation of my DevOps learning β€” Linux, Bash scripting, and Git/GitHub. Today, I focused deeper on Networking Basics, a skill every DevOps engineer must master.

πŸ”Ή What I explored today

How DNS resolution works (from domain β†’ IP)

Load Balancing concepts β€” distributing traffic across servers

Difference between TCP vs UDP in real-world applications

Basics of firewalls & ports (why security starts here)

πŸ”Ή Why this matters in DevOps
Networking is the backbone of cloud and infrastructure. Whether it’s deploying apps, configuring Kubernetes clusters, or setting up CI/CD pipelines, understanding how data flows across the network makes troubleshooting and scaling much easier.

πŸ”Ή My key takeaway
"DevOps isn’t just about tools β€” it’s about understanding the fundamentals that keep systems reliable and secure."

Excited for tomorrow as I continue building on these foundations before stepping into CI/CD (Day 31–60) soon πŸš€
