My Approach: Clarifying DevOps Gaps Before Teaching Tools

Dear Community,

Before I start sharing projects, labs, tools, and tutorials, I want to tell you why I’m taking a different approach.

For years I observed something very important in the DevOps world:

🚫 DevOps is full of gaps, illusions, and confusion.

People jump directly into Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, AWS, GitOps—
but they don’t understand the fundamentals that make DevOps meaningful:

How the operating system really works

How applications behave internally

How networks route traffic

How containers are built, secured, and executed

What developers expect

What production issues really look like

Why failures happen

What DevOps actually solves

Most people become tool operators, not engineers.

And that is the biggest gap.

💡 DevOps is not tools. DevOps is engineering.

Before automation, you must understand the actual system and the application.
Before writing pipelines, you must know how software really runs.
Before fixing issues, you must know why things break.

This is why my journey starts with:

1️⃣ Clearing illusions

Unlearning the myths around DevOps, CI/CD, cloud, and containerization.

2️⃣ Identifying real gaps

Deep technical gaps that block people from becoming strong DevOps or platform engineers.

3️⃣ Explaining what everyone misses

OS internals, networking flow, application lifecycle, runtime behavior, security controls, production realities.

4️⃣ Emphasizing the importance of System Engineers + Application Engineers

Combine those two, and you become a true DevOps engineer—not just someone running YAML files.


🔥 After that, I will take you to the next level

Once the foundation becomes clear, I will start:

✔️ Real-world projects

✔️ Hands-on labs

✔️ End-to-end CI/CD pipelines

✔️ Kubernetes production setups

✔️ Beginner-to-advanced tutorials

✔️ Industry-level architecture

✔️ Deep DevOps + DevSecOps + SRE learning paths

Not shortcuts.
Not copy-paste tutorials.
Only real engineering, explained clearly.


🌟 My Mission

To create a DevOps learning experience that is:

globally useful

deeply technical

simple to understand

focused on fundamentals

based on real production knowledge

This is how we build engineers, not tool operators.

Thank you for your support.
A lot of powerful content is coming.
