Ask HN: Getting interested in DevOps, question on certifications
I have lately gotten interested in DevOps. The fun of working with bare metal boxes and automating a lot of workflows seems tempting.
Is it worth to take up the related certifications like AWS Solutions Architect or Chef certification partnership program or DevOps Foundation certification?
Where should I concentrate my efforts to learn DevOps/Cloud/chef ?
Thanks.
- brudgers 11y agoTo me, the advantage of a certification is that it is independent of a person's current job. For example, a front end developer could use certification as a tool toward work in dev-ops. Of the listed options, anything to do with AWS is likely to have the most widespread appeal to employers. I'm not sure the DevOps Foundation has the same sort of century based clout as an organization like the American Bar Association or the Royal Institute of British Architects. Good luck.
