I've officially hit the halfway mark in the #100DaysOfDevOps challenge! The journey so far has been incredibly rewarding, and the last 25 days have been a deep dive into the tools that form the backbone of modern software delivery.
If you missed the first part of my journey, you can catch up on the first 25 days here: 25 Days of DevOps: How I Fought Imposter Syndrome and Built Real Momentum.
The feeling of accomplishment is immense, but the real prize is the confidence that comes from hands-on practice. KodeKloud's labs continue to be an invaluable resource, pushing me to learn by doing.
A Milestone Recognised
This email from the KodeKloud team was a fantastic motivator. It's a great reminder that consistency pays off.
GitHub as My North Star
My GitHub repository is more than just a code backup; it's the story of my journey. Every commit is a step forward, and looking back at the progress from Day 1 is a powerful reminder of how far I've come.
Here’s an updated look at my progress tracker:

Key Learnings from Days 26-50
This quarter was all about diving into the core of DevOps tooling. Here are the highlights:
- Advanced Git Techniques: I moved beyond the basics and got my hands dirty with
git revert,cherry-pick,rebase, and even Git hooks. These skills are crucial for maintaining a clean and manageable codebase in a team environment. - Docker is a Game-Changer: I finally got to grips with Docker, and it's been a revelation. From building custom images with a
Dockerfileto managing multi-container applications withdocker-compose, I now understand why containerization is so powerful. - First Steps in Kubernetes: The journey into container orchestration has begun! I've started creating Kubernetes Pods and Deployments, and I'm beginning to see how it all fits together to manage applications at scale.
The Journey Continues
The second half of this challenge promises to be even more exciting, with deeper dives into Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and more. The momentum is strong, and I'm excited to see what I can achieve in the next 50 days.
