Why I'm Learning DevOps in Public

I just installed WSL2, set up Ubuntu, and ran my first Docker container.
Nothing groundbreaking — but it's the start of something I want to document
properly, so here we are.

Why DevOps

I want to work as a DevOps engineer, ideally starting with an internship.
Right now I'm at the very beginning: comfortable with a computer, but new to
Linux, containers, and most of the tooling this field runs on.

Why write about it

Two reasons. First, writing forces me to actually understand what I did,
not just copy-paste commands that happened to work. Second, English isn't
my first language, and technical writing is a good way to practice it
while doing something useful.

What to expect here

I'll be posting as I go through each stage:

  • Linux and the terminal
  • Git and GitHub workflows
  • Docker, from basics to docker-compose
  • CI/CD with GitHub Actions
  • Kubernetes basics
  • Infrastructure as Code with Terraform

Some posts will be short notes, others will be closer to tutorials, written
the way I wish someone had explained it to me.

If you're on a similar path, feel free to follow along.
