How I deployed my first project for my devops portfolio: Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Hi all, this is my first time writing anything like this in my life. I am an aspiring cloud engineer/architect whatever you like to call it, as I love cloud tech and actively looking for opportunities.

Last year as I joined my first company and got introduced to this concept of Devops I was in awe of this tech. I started to get ideas as how much we can do stuff by leveraging the cloud tech. And I have always been homelabbing before. Joining my first company and getting oppertunity in devops and cloud which is why I am much more inclined to this technology. I see many opportunities like getting a ML model or like realtime data from IoT, possibilities are endless.

As to get recognized by companies in this tough competitive job market I got an idea of why not just diving into it and try making and deploying a real life simple project and see how messy the actual ground is. The project idea I got from watching an anime and yes that project type exists already everywhere app to web but my aim is to understand deployment and leverage the cloud with less cost and optimum performance. So a simple project and a good start as a beginner. I aim to learn how, what, where to use what services and what not. After all cloud is just another peoples computer out for rent in a nutshell.

For the past 1.5 years as the time of writing this article, I successfully hosted my website and my project in devops style using IaaC.

I hope you have a good time reading and learning and potentially advising improvement to my steps from that I can learn from you all to.
Thank you.
