As a growing field that combines software development and IT operations, AWS DevOps offers incredible career opportunities.

AWS DevOps is a combination of several key concepts: infrastructure as code, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), monitoring, and more. To begin, I explored the various AWS services that support DevOps practices, such as AWS CodePipeline, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS Lambda.

I spent time reviewing study materials, attending mock exams, and diving deep into case studies. With the guidance I received from Eduleem’s experienced trainers, I was able to understand complex concepts and apply them to real-world scenarios.

Step 4: Gaining Hands-On Experience
The most important part of my AWS DevOps journey was hands-on experience. Thanks to the internship and project-based learning at Eduleem, I worked on live projects that gave me practical exposure to setting up CI/CD pipelines, automating deployments, and ensuring high availability and scalability using AWS.

Step 5: Certification and Career Opportunities
Once I completed the course and gained confidence in my skills, I sat for the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional exam. Achieving this certification opened doors to numerous career opportunities. With the skills I developed at Eduleem, I was well-prepared to handle the demands of the DevOps industry.
