Yes, I am streaming off Linux. I am Yes, I am streaming off Linux. I am streaming off Arch Linux. streaming off Arch Linux. streaming off Arch Linux. Uh what is what is it? Free fetch. Uh what is what is it? Free fetch. Uh what is what is it? Free fetch. Oh, fetch. Oh, fetch. Oh, fetch. Fast fetch. Here we go. Fast fetch. Here we go. Fast fetch. Here we go. Of course, I have to I cannot start a Of course, I have to I cannot start a Of course, I have to I cannot start a stream without mentioning that I'm stream without mentioning that I'm stream without mentioning that I'm running Arch Linux. So, now that this is running Arch Linux. So, now that this is running Arch Linux. So, now that this is out of the way, now we can say that we out of the way, now we can say that we out of the way, now we can say that we um um um are started officially. Cool. Cool. Um before I start, yeah, Cool. Cool. Um before I start, yeah, just um start pouring the questions in just um start pouring the questions in just um start pouring the questions in the chat. In the meantime, I will share the chat. In the meantime, I will share the chat. In the meantime, I will share some a couple of things in the news that some a couple of things in the news that some a couple of things in the news that I found interesting today while the qu I found interesting today while the qu I found interesting today while the qu questions are coming in. So, an questions are coming in. So, an questions are coming in. So, an interesting thing that happened today is interesting thing that happened today is interesting thing that happened today is that Minio is no longer providing Docker that Minio is no longer providing Docker that Minio is no longer providing Docker images. So if you don't know what minio images. So if you don't know what minio images. So if you don't know what minio is, this is a yeah basically a is, this is a yeah basically a is, this is a yeah basically a self-hosted self-hosted self-hosted uh S3 bucket provider. I mean it's used uh S3 bucket provider. I mean it's used uh S3 bucket provider. I mean it's used as self-hosted. It is used very much in as self-hosted. It is used very much in as self-hosted. It is used very much in enterprise of course but in the home enterprise of course but in the home enterprise of course but in the home labing circles, self-hosting circles, labing circles, self-hosting circles, labing circles, self-hosting circles, this is often used to create your own S3 this is often used to create your own S3 this is often used to create your own S3 buckets and storage and this is no buckets and storage and this is no buckets and storage and this is no longer providing free Docker images. So longer providing free Docker images. So longer providing free Docker images. So this is an interesting development. Uh this is an interesting development. Uh this is an interesting development. Uh we see this more and more with we see this more and more with we see this more and more with open-source projects closing down for open-source projects closing down for open-source projects closing down for the community. Basically

the community. Basically the community. Basically um they are not providing docker images um they are not providing docker images um they are not providing docker images but technically you can build the code but technically you can build the code but technically you can build the code yourself and then you can yourself and then you can yourself and then you can uh yeah create your own images and run uh yeah create your own images and run uh yeah create your own images and run it. So, it's not that they're closing it. So, it's not that they're closing it. So, it's not that they're closing off the software, but we were discussing off the software, but we were discussing off the software, but we were discussing this in the community today and this in the community today and this in the community today and um Silmani was actually saying, "I I use um Silmani was actually saying, "I I use um Silmani was actually saying, "I I use Min.io at my client and they doubled Min.io at my client and they doubled Min.io at my client and they doubled their license prices prices and removing their license prices prices and removing their license prices prices and removing UI features from the community dashboard UI features from the community dashboard UI features from the community dashboard version. They force you to get a paid version. They force you to get a paid version. They force you to get a paid version." So, I thought this was an version." So, I thought this was an version." So, I thought this was an interesting bit of tech news to share. interesting bit of tech news to share. interesting bit of tech news to share. And you see this more and more with And you see this more and more with And you see this more and more with open-source projects. It's a concerning It's a concerning trend, but it's um It's a concerning trend, but it's um Wait, is there a problem with the sound? Sounds off every few seconds. Or is it Sounds off every few seconds. Or is it me? Is that true?

It falls away every few seconds. Okay, It falls away every few seconds. Okay, hold on. There might be an issue with my hold on. There might be an issue with my hold on. There might be an issue with my sound here. In the meantime, just keep sound here. In the meantime, just keep sound here. In the meantime, just keep pouring in the the questions and I will pouring in the the questions and I will pouring in the the questions and I will go through the chat afterwards. go through the chat afterwards. go through the chat afterwards. So, let's see. So, let's see. So, let's see. Help me debug my stream. Help me debug my stream. Help me debug my stream. Why would my audio be choppy? Sound is Why would my audio be choppy? Sound is Why would my audio be choppy? Sound is fine to me, says Jivvon. Okay. fine to me, says Jivvon. Okay. fine to me, says Jivvon. Okay. Um Okay. Okay. So, I'm hearing different Okay. Okay. So, I'm hearing different messages about the sound. Sound is fine messages about the sound. Sound is fine messages about the sound. Sound is fine here. Okay. Thank you very much for here. Okay. Thank you very much for here. Okay. Thank you very much for confirming that. This is the streamer's confirming that. This is the streamer's confirming that. This is the streamer's worst nightmare that the sound goes off worst nightmare that the sound goes off worst nightmare that the sound goes off goes wrong. So, glad you Thank you for goes wrong. So, glad you Thank you for goes wrong. So, glad you Thank you for confirming that. So, yeah, again, that confirming that. So, yeah, again, that confirming that. So, yeah, again, that was an interesting piece of news where was an interesting piece of news where was an interesting piece of news where Min.io is basically locking down the Min.io is basically locking down the Min.io is basically locking down the open open-source version and force you open open-source version and force you open open-source version and force you to get a paid version. And I found this to get a paid version. And I found this to get a paid version. And I found this an interesting uh piece of news. you see an interesting uh piece of news. you see an interesting uh piece of news. you see this more and more and it it sparks an this more and more and it it sparks an this more and more and it it sparks an interesting debate where interesting debate where interesting debate where I mean I I firmly believe that I mean I I firmly believe that I mean I I firmly believe that open-source software creators should be open-source software creators should be open-source software creators should be paid for their work. I have no issues paid for their work. I have no issues paid for their work. I have no issues with um open-source projects charging with um open-source projects charging with um open-source projects charging for their for their software and also for their for their software and also for their for their software and also limiting certain features of their limiting certain features of their limiting certain features of their software to paying customers. I think software to paying customers. I think software to paying customers. I think that's I think that's fair. However, that's I think that's fair. However, that's I think that's fair. However, with this, you're also losing quite a

with this, you're also losing quite a with this, you're also losing quite a lot of trust with the community. And lot of trust with the community. And lot of trust with the community. And yeah, I I think this is an interesting yeah, I I think this is an interesting yeah, I I think this is an interesting development which you see more and more development which you see more and more development which you see more and more with these open source projects. Uh with these open source projects. Uh with these open source projects. Uh there are a few alternatives being there are a few alternatives being there are a few alternatives being thrown around. One of them is Garage HQ. thrown around. One of them is Garage HQ. thrown around. One of them is Garage HQ. Garage, an open-source distributed Garage, an open-source distributed Garage, an open-source distributed object storage service tailored for object storage service tailored for object storage service tailored for self-hosting. So, I would personally not self-hosting. So, I would personally not self-hosting. So, I would personally not try Min.io anymore. I'm um I would go try Min.io anymore. I'm um I would go try Min.io anymore. I'm um I would go for garage or another one that the for garage or another one that the for garage or another one that the community has been sharing here is community has been sharing here is community has been sharing here is seaweed FS. seaweed FS. seaweed FS. Um I haven't looked at all at this. I'm Um I haven't looked at all at this. I'm Um I haven't looked at all at this. I'm just literally doing this right now. So, just literally doing this right now. So, just literally doing this right now. So, what is this? Seaweed FS what is this? Seaweed FS what is this? Seaweed FS independent Apache license open-source independent Apache license open-source independent Apache license open-source project ongoing development. Let's see. project ongoing development. Let's see. project ongoing development. Let's see. Yes, lots of commits. Yes, lots of commits. Yes, lots of commits. And it's a simple and highly scalable it's a simple and highly scalable distributed file system. Two objectives.

distributed file system. Two objectives. distributed file system. Two objectives. Store billions of files. Serve files Store billions of files. Serve files Store billions of files. Serve files fast. Start as an object store to hide fast. Start as an object store to hide fast. Start as an object store to hide small files instead of managing file small files instead of managing file small files instead of managing file metadata. Okay. Yeah. metadata. Okay. Yeah. metadata. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, these are two Yeah. Okay. So, these are two Yeah. Okay. So, these are two alternatives for min.io. So yeah, alternatives for min.io. So yeah, alternatives for min.io. So yeah, it depends whether whether these have it depends whether whether these have it depends whether whether these have Kubernetes operators or not. That would Kubernetes operators or not. That would Kubernetes operators or not. That would be interesting to dig into, but those be interesting to dig into, but those be interesting to dig into, but those are the two that are the main are the two that are the main are the two that are the main alternatives right now, I would say. So alternatives right now, I would say. So alternatives right now, I would say. So yeah, let me know in chat what you think yeah, let me know in chat what you think yeah, let me know in chat what you think about this. And also um just to note about this. And also um just to note about this. And also um just to note that that that the interesting part is that this is the interesting part is that this is the interesting part is that this is what we were discussing in the community what we were discussing in the community what we were discussing in the community today and we instantly get people saying today and we instantly get people saying today and we instantly get people saying oh I'm using this at a client or I'm we oh I'm using this at a client or I'm we oh I'm using this at a client or I'm we are using this and that. So it's the are using this and that. So it's the are using this and that.

So I will just uh start going through those. start going through those. start going through those. Uh Misha, thanks to your channel. I Uh Misha, thanks to your channel. I Uh Misha, thanks to your channel. I started DevOps. Thank you. Okay. Thank started DevOps. Thank you. Okay. Thank started DevOps. Thank you. Okay. Thank you so much for saying that. That's cool you so much for saying that. That's cool you so much for saying that. That's cool to hear. to hear. to hear. Um Um Um let's see here. Next. Next. Next. Next. Next. Next. Okay. As a 20-year-old DevOps from India. Oh, As a 20-year-old DevOps from India. Oh, let me see. Can I show it here? As a 23-year-old DevOps from here? As a 23-year-old DevOps from India, I'm interested in opportunities India, I'm interested in opportunities India, I'm interested in opportunities in Europe. Are cloud DevOps security in Europe. Are cloud DevOps security in Europe. Are cloud DevOps security roles open to foreign candidates? And roles open to foreign candidates? And roles open to foreign candidates? And how can I improve my profile to get a how can I improve my profile to get a how can I improve my profile to get a job in the EU? they are generally open job in the EU? they are generally open job in the EU? they are generally open to uh outside candidates from outside of to uh outside candidates from outside of to uh outside candidates from outside of the EU but generally like you can't just the EU but generally like you can't just the EU but generally like you can't just expect getting a job in the EU um expect getting a job in the EU um expect getting a job in the EU um like that I mean if you want to work in like that I mean if you want to work in like that I mean if you want to work in the EU you would definitely have to plan the EU you would definitely have to plan the EU you would definitely have to plan on moving to the EU as well. It is I see on moving to the EU as well. It is I see on moving to the EU as well. It is I see it more quite rare for people to land it more quite rare for people to land it more quite rare for people to land remote roles in the EU. There's there's remote roles in the EU. There's there's remote roles in the EU. There's there's not much of a culture for that in the EU

not much of a culture for that in the EU not much of a culture for that in the EU specifically. So if you do want to move specifically. So if you do want to move specifically. So if you do want to move to the EU, I always recommend people to to the EU, I always recommend people to to the EU, I always recommend people to actually don't forget about learning actually don't forget about learning actually don't forget about learning DevOps and tech. What you actually DevOps and tech. What you actually DevOps and tech. What you actually should be learning is the language. You should be learning is the language. You should be learning is the language. You need to learn the language of the need to learn the language of the need to learn the language of the country where you wish to work in. Uh, country where you wish to work in. Uh, country where you wish to work in. Uh, and that's not just for the work's sake, and that's not just for the work's sake, and that's not just for the work's sake, but it's also about for your happiness but it's also about for your happiness but it's also about for your happiness sake. sake. sake. You see, I I'll tell you a story. I I You see, I I'll tell you a story. I I You see, I I'll tell you a story. I I lived in Norway for 9 years. So, when I lived in Norway for 9 years. So, when I lived in Norway for 9 years. So, when I was 22 years old, I I had just finished was 22 years old, I I had just finished was 22 years old, I I had just finished studying at university studying at university studying at university and I packed everything I had in my car and I packed everything I had in my car and I packed everything I had in my car and I drove to Norway and I was going to and I drove to Norway and I was going to and I drove to Norway and I was going to basically start my life there. And I had basically start my life there. And I had basically start my life there. And I had already been traveling there a lot and I already been traveling there a lot and I already been traveling there a lot and I had a Norwegian girlfriend for a couple had a Norwegian girlfriend for a couple had a Norwegian girlfriend for a couple of years. So I knew what it was like to of years. So I knew what it was like to of years. So I knew what it was like to be in Norway. be in Norway. be in Norway. And at that point I already spoke And at that point I already spoke And at that point I already spoke Norwegian fluently because I had studied Norwegian fluently because I had studied Norwegian fluently because I had studied the language and I had a girlfriend. But the language and I had a girlfriend. But the language and I had a girlfriend. But I had taken university classes in I had taken university classes in I had taken university classes in Norwegian. So I spoke the language Norwegian. So I spoke the language Norwegian. So I spoke the language fluently when I moved there and still I fluently when I moved there and still I fluently when I moved there and still I struggled to get a a job in in Norway.

struggled to get a a job in in Norway. struggled to get a a job in in Norway. The fir for the first four months I The fir for the first four months I The fir for the first four months I applied I applied and I it was very hard applied I applied and I it was very hard applied I applied and I it was very hard for me to get a job because they don't for me to get a job because they don't for me to get a job because they don't even I'm like I'm from a neighboring even I'm like I'm from a neighboring even I'm like I'm from a neighboring country and but they still don't like to country and but they still don't like to country and but they still don't like to hire foreigners, right? Even when I hire foreigners, right? Even when I hire foreigners, right? Even when I spoke the language. So my first job in spoke the language. So my first job in spoke the language. So my first job in Norway actually was um in a Norway actually was um in a Norway actually was um in a freeze what do you call is in in freeze what do you call is in in freeze what do you call is in in English? It was a a warehouse for frozen English? It was a a warehouse for frozen English? It was a a warehouse for frozen goods. So it was like -20 Celsius goods. So it was like -20 Celsius goods. So it was like -20 Celsius degrees all day long and I would show up degrees all day long and I would show up degrees all day long and I would show up and we had to put on these big suits and we had to put on these big suits and we had to put on these big suits like like they would use on the North like like they would use on the North like like they would use on the North Pole and then huge shipping containers Pole and then huge shipping containers Pole and then huge shipping containers would come and I would have to unpack would come and I would have to unpack would come and I would have to unpack frozen meat from those containers and frozen meat from those containers and frozen meat from those containers and then carry that onto pallets and stack then carry that onto pallets and stack then carry that onto pallets and stack them onto pallets and calculate the them onto pallets and calculate the them onto pallets and calculate the weight and stuff. That was my first job weight and stuff. That was my first job weight and stuff. That was my first job in Norway and I had a university degree in Norway and I had a university degree in Norway and I had a university degree at that point and I even spoke the at that point and I even spoke the at that point and I even spoke the language. So language. So language. So if you want a job in a different country if you want a job in a different country if you want a job in a different country like don't start with tech and that kind like don't start with tech and that kind like don't start with tech and that kind of stuff. Start with the language and of stuff. Start with the language and of stuff. Start with the language and you have to be extremely humble about you have to be extremely humble about you have to be extremely humble about this too. Um like when I moved to this too. Um like when I moved to this too. Um like when I moved to Norway, my my attitude was uh that I Norway, my my attitude was uh that I Norway, my my attitude was uh that I would clean toilets because living in would clean toilets because living in would clean toilets because living in that country was more important to me

that country was more important to me that country was more important to me than um than anything else than the work than um than anything else than the work than um than anything else than the work that I had to do for it. So that was my that I had to do for it. So that was my that I had to do for it. So that was my that was my attitude towards this. This that was my attitude towards this. This that was my attitude towards this. This is how I approached it. And if you yeah, is how I approached it. And if you yeah, is how I approached it. And if you yeah, if you uh if you agree with that or not, if you uh if you agree with that or not, if you uh if you agree with that or not, I don't really care. But that is how I I don't really care. But that is how I I don't really care. But that is how I think you should approach it. Be humble. think you should approach it. Be humble. think you should approach it. Be humble.

This is not this is CubeCraft for that. This is not this is CubeCraft for that. This is not this is not teachings that I give for free on on not teachings that I give for free on on not teachings that I give for free on on live streams like this. You can't expect live streams like this. You can't expect live streams like this. You can't expect um these kinds of questions to be um these kinds of questions to be um these kinds of questions to be answered live in streams like this. Um answered live in streams like this. Um answered live in streams like this. Um you will have to um you have to gain you will have to um you have to gain you will have to um you have to gain access in order to get that kind of

access in order to get that kind of access in order to get that kind of information. Let me see. Let me see. took your Kubernetes fundamentals took your Kubernetes fundamentals took your Kubernetes fundamentals currently taking the CKD Kubernetes currently taking the CKD Kubernetes currently taking the CKD Kubernetes Udemy course and then take the home lab Udemy course and then take the home lab Udemy course and then take the home lab course. Also, what's your advice course. Also, what's your advice course. Also, what's your advice monitoring course? Well, you're going monitoring course? Well, you're going monitoring course? Well, you're going after course after course after course after course after course after course after course after course after course and that's great, but also remember to and that's great, but also remember to and that's great, but also remember to do to build projects here and you um the do to build projects here and you um the do to build projects here and you um the best way to learn monitoring in my best way to learn monitoring in my best way to learn monitoring in my opinion is to basically you already said opinion is to basically you already said opinion is to basically you already said you were going to build your home lab. you were going to build your home lab. you were going to build your home lab. So build your home lab and then start So build your home lab and then start So build your home lab and then start with the Q Prometheus stack, install with the Q Prometheus stack, install with the Q Prometheus stack, install that and build projects that and build projects that and build projects uh with that and then there is the the uh with that and then there is the the uh with that and then there is the the what is it called? The Prometheus what is it called? The Prometheus what is it called? The Prometheus operator certification by the CNCF. I operator certification by the CNCF. I operator certification by the CNCF. I haven't done that one. Not sure if you haven't done that one. Not sure if you haven't done that one. Not sure if you should get that one either. Uh I would should get that one either. Uh I would should get that one either. Uh I would definitely focus on Graphana instead of definitely focus on Graphana instead of definitely focus on Graphana instead of Prometheus.

Yes, 100%. Fluency in the skills? Yes, 100%. Fluency in the skills? Yes, 100%. Fluency in the language is extremely important. If your language is extremely important. If your language is extremely important. If your goal is to work in a different country goal is to work in a different country goal is to work in a different country than your own, that is um that is a than your own, that is um that is a than your own, that is um that is a definitely definitely definitely uh the the way to do it. Focus on that uh the the way to do it. Focus on that uh the the way to do it. Focus on that first first first and the basically your attitude should and the basically your attitude should and the basically your attitude should be if you want to live in a different be if you want to live in a different be if you want to live in a different country that's the only thing that country that's the only thing that country that's the only thing that matters. The work that you do is second matters. The work that you do is second matters. The work that you do is second to that. With the recent AWS outage, do you think With the recent AWS outage, do you think companies would prefer onrem in the companies would prefer onrem in the companies would prefer onrem in the future and thoughts on Oracle cloud AI future and thoughts on Oracle cloud AI future and thoughts on Oracle cloud AI into DevOps? Interesting question. So into DevOps? Interesting question. So into DevOps? Interesting question. So yes, I am like I am personally in my own yes, I am like I am personally in my own yes, I am like I am personally in my own personal interests I am leaning more and personal interests I am leaning more and personal interests I am leaning more and more towards open-source vendor agnostic more towards open-source vendor agnostic more towards open-source vendor agnostic and and and uh onrem kind of stuff that that is b uh onrem kind of stuff that that is b uh onrem kind of stuff that that is b more I'm leaning more and more towards more I'm leaning more and more towards more I'm leaning more and more towards that and I say vendor agnostic I mean that and I say vendor agnostic I mean that and I say vendor agnostic I mean you can never really get away from you can never really get away from you can never really get away from vendors like I love talos Linux so that vendors like I love talos Linux so that vendors like I love talos Linux so that is CDRO and Yes, that then you are for is CDRO and Yes, that then you are for is CDRO and Yes, that then you are for example um example um example um then you are using a vendor right so but then you are using a vendor right so but then you are using a vendor right so but it's open source so it's different from it's open source so it's different from it's open source so it's different from tying yourself into Microsoft Azure or

tying yourself into Microsoft Azure or tying yourself into Microsoft Azure or AWS I would say uh because still you're AWS I would say uh because still you're AWS I would say uh because still you're using Kubernetes as the platform but the using Kubernetes as the platform but the using Kubernetes as the platform but the platform that you use to provision platform that you use to provision platform that you use to provision Kubernetes can be changed so that is Kubernetes can be changed so that is Kubernetes can be changed so that is that is one one way to approach it this that is one one way to approach it this that is one one way to approach it this is why I I I go all in on Kubernetes is why I I I go all in on Kubernetes is why I I I go all in on Kubernetes Because Kubernetes is the platform. If Because Kubernetes is the platform. If Because Kubernetes is the platform. If you focus on that, if you build the you focus on that, if you build the you focus on that, if you build the Kubernetes skills, then it doesn't Kubernetes skills, then it doesn't Kubernetes skills, then it doesn't really matter where you work. So cloud really matter where you work. So cloud really matter where you work. So cloud infrastructure is going to be more and infrastructure is going to be more and infrastructure is going to be more and more commoditized. more commoditized. more commoditized. AKS, Azure Kubernetes Service, it works AKS, Azure Kubernetes Service, it works AKS, Azure Kubernetes Service, it works so well that you just create it once and so well that you just create it once and so well that you just create it once and it auto updates, it automanages itself, it auto updates, it automanages itself, it auto updates, it automanages itself, it autoscales, and you have the support it autoscales, and you have the support it autoscales, and you have the support for it. So like there isn't really much for it. So like there isn't really much for it. So like there isn't really much work to do there if you have that up and work to do there if you have that up and work to do there if you have that up and running and but it's freaking expensive. running and but it's freaking expensive. running and but it's freaking expensive. That is that is the the the That is that is the the the That is that is the the the counter of it. So I personally think counter of it. So I personally think counter of it. So I personally think that there's going to be more and more that there's going to be more and more that there's going to be more and more focus on onrem. One issue with this or focus on onrem. One issue with this or focus on onrem. One issue with this or one theme here is one theme here is one theme here is that here in the Netherlands we have a that here in the Netherlands we have a that here in the Netherlands we have a lot of our uh governments are using lot of our uh governments are using lot of our uh governments are using Microsoft Azure, right? And we do that Microsoft Azure, right? And we do that Microsoft Azure, right? And we do that because we have a data center of because we have a data center of because we have a data center of Microsoft here in the Netherlands. So Microsoft here in the Netherlands. So Microsoft here in the Netherlands. So that is how they are basically that is how they are basically that is how they are basically justifying to put all of their data in justifying to put all of their data in justifying to put all of their data in the data center because the data center the data center because the data center the data center because the data center is at least in the Netherlands. However, is at least in the Netherlands. However, is at least in the Netherlands. However, that still means that the the the the

that still means that the the the the that still means that the the the the company that's managing that data is company that's managing that data is company that's managing that data is still an American company, right? And still an American company, right? And still an American company, right? And like I'm not 100% clear on the laws so like I'm not 100% clear on the laws so like I'm not 100% clear on the laws so please don't uh quote me on the law law please don't uh quote me on the law law please don't uh quote me on the law law framework here but it is my framework here but it is my framework here but it is my understanding that because it's an understanding that because it's an understanding that because it's an American company then the go American American company then the go American American company then the go American government has any right to decide like government has any right to decide like government has any right to decide like if there's a if they have some sort of if there's a if they have some sort of if there's a if they have some sort of valid reason for it that they can access valid reason for it that they can access valid reason for it that they can access that data or that they could basically that data or that they could basically that data or that they could basically tell Microsoft nope you can't do tell Microsoft nope you can't do tell Microsoft nope you can't do business anymore in the Netherlands. business anymore in the Netherlands. business anymore in the Netherlands. Well, that means we are completely Well, that means we are completely Well, that means we are completely screwed if that happens. And this became screwed if that happens. And this became screwed if that happens. And this became a theme when Trump was elected and he a theme when Trump was elected and he a theme when Trump was elected and he started throwing around all these started throwing around all these started throwing around all these tariffs. Well, people were getting tariffs. Well, people were getting tariffs. Well, people were getting really nervous like, oh, oh my god, really nervous like, oh, oh my god, really nervous like, oh, oh my god, what is he going to do with the cloud what is he going to do with the cloud what is he going to do with the cloud infrastructure? Maybe he's going to say, infrastructure? Maybe he's going to say, infrastructure? Maybe he's going to say, yeah, Microsoft, you're not allowed to yeah, Microsoft, you're not allowed to yeah, Microsoft, you're not allowed to do business in the Netherlands anymore do business in the Netherlands anymore do business in the Netherlands anymore because they're not paying tariffs. We because they're not paying tariffs. We because they're not paying tariffs. We would be completely screwed. So all that would be completely screwed. So all that would be completely screwed. So all that to say is that here in Europe there has to say is that here in Europe there has to say is that here in Europe there has been a lot more debate on European been a lot more debate on European been a lot more debate on European clouds, sovereign clouds and that means clouds, sovereign clouds and that means clouds, sovereign clouds and that means basically basically basically um um um on onrem it means on prem like maybe on onrem it means on prem like maybe on onrem it means on prem like maybe there is a like Dutch data centers if there is a like Dutch data centers if there is a like Dutch data centers if you're hosting it in Holland but I think you're hosting it in Holland but I think you're hosting it in Holland but I think there's going to be more and more move there's going to be more and more move there's going to be more and more move back towards onrem actually. Um I I back towards onrem actually. Um I I back towards onrem actually. Um I I think that is that is going to be much think that is that is going to be much think that is that is going to be much more common. We had this big move to the more common. We had this big move to the more common. We had this big move to the cloud then they raised the prices and

cloud then they raised the prices and cloud then they raised the prices and now it's like it depends on what you're now it's like it depends on what you're now it's like it depends on what you're running of course but if you're running of course but if you're running of course but if you're interested in data sovereignty so having interested in data sovereignty so having interested in data sovereignty so having no have not don't have any other no have not don't have any other no have not don't have any other companies have any control over your companies have any control over your companies have any control over your data then onrem is the way to go. Cool question from Leo. In paid Cool question from Leo. In paid CubeCraft, do you offer guidance only CubeCraft, do you offer guidance only CubeCraft, do you offer guidance only once you're ready to make projects and once you're ready to make projects and once you're ready to make projects and looking for a job or also while looking for a job or also while looking for a job or also while completing the coursework? Thank you. completing the coursework? Thank you. completing the coursework? Thank you. Yes. Um, so the the way it works is you Yes. Um, so the the way it works is you Yes.

So that is an clients are doing at work. So that is an clients are doing at work. So that is an interesting uh example of the community interesting uh example of the community interesting uh example of the community at work.

at work. at work. So there is community posts all the time So there is community posts all the time So there is community posts all the time but to your question do you provide but to your question do you provide but to your question do you provide guidance along the way? We definitely guidance along the way? We definitely guidance along the way? We definitely do. So this is the current schedule. So do. So this is the current schedule. So do. So this is the current schedule. So on Mondays I provide two Q&A calls. So on Mondays I provide two Q&A calls. So on Mondays I provide two Q&A calls. So those are calls where you join and you those are calls where you join and you those are calls where you join and you can ask me questions directly just like can ask me questions directly just like can ask me questions directly just like this on a live stream but then we are this on a live stream but then we are this on a live stream but then we are actually like you you you share your actually like you you you share your actually like you you you share your video, you have your microphone on, video, you have your microphone on, video, you have your microphone on, we're actually talking. So I'm actually we're actually talking. So I'm actually we're actually talking. So I'm actually coaching you during that call. That coaching you during that call. That coaching you during that call. That happens twice a week. Then my brother, happens twice a week. Then my brother, happens twice a week. Then my brother, he is doing a career guidance coaching he is doing a career guidance coaching he is doing a career guidance coaching and every Sunday we have a Linux and every Sunday we have a Linux and every Sunday we have a Linux workshop with Francisco, an expert CIS workshop with Francisco, an expert CIS workshop with Francisco, an expert CIS admin. So there's like three three calls admin. So there's like three three calls admin. So there's like three three calls a week uh at the right now that's going a week uh at the right now that's going a week uh at the right now that's going to be more in the future uh where you to be more in the future uh where you to be more in the future uh where you get guidance. And secondly, if you look get guidance. And secondly, if you look get guidance. And secondly, if you look at my school profile, at my school profile, at my school profile, this is my heat map of my school profile this is my heat map of my school profile this is my heat map of my school profile and I am in here every single day.

Hey, how is it how difficult is it to Hey, how is it how difficult is it to run a server on old Android phone? run a server on old Android phone? run a server on old Android phone? That's an interesting question. Uh I am That's an interesting question. Uh I am That's an interesting question. Uh I am currently uh I'm I have not run any currently uh I'm I have not run any currently uh I'm I have not run any servers on Android phones myself. So, I servers on Android phones myself. So, I servers on Android phones myself. So, I actually cannot really answer about this actually cannot really answer about this actually cannot really answer about this question, but we did have an interesting question, but we did have an interesting question, but we did have an interesting um we had a really interesting chat um we had a really interesting chat um we had a really interesting chat recently in the community. Maybe I recently in the community. Maybe I recently in the community. Maybe I should just leave my screen on actually should just leave my screen on actually should just leave my screen on actually because I'm just constantly switching because I'm just constantly switching because I'm just constantly switching back and forth, but there is um what was back and forth, but there is um what was back and forth, but there is um what was it? A vape. Yeah, hosting a website on a it? A vape. Yeah, hosting a website on a it? A vape. Yeah, hosting a website on a vape. So, we had this really cool vape. So, we had this really cool vape. So, we had this really cool discussion in the community about um discussion in the community about um discussion in the community about um hosting things on on smaller devices.

hosting things on on smaller devices. hosting things on on smaller devices. So, we found this blog from Bogdon the So, we found this blog from Bogdon the So, we found this blog from Bogdon the Geek who is hosting a website on a vape. Geek who is hosting a website on a vape. Geek who is hosting a website on a vape. And I found that a really interesting um And I found that a really interesting um And I found that a really interesting um challenge, a really interesting thing to challenge, a really interesting thing to challenge, a really interesting thing to do to find like the smallest devices do to find like the smallest devices do to find like the smallest devices that you can find and then turn those that you can find and then turn those that you can find and then turn those into servers or run Kubernetes clusters into servers or run Kubernetes clusters into servers or run Kubernetes clusters and then actually Chris here, here, M Chris here, he did a really cool here, M Chris here, he did a really cool experiment where he had um yeah, what experiment where he had um yeah, what experiment where he had um yeah, what are they called. They're like pocket are they called. They're like pocket are they called. They're like pocket PCs, like really small USB stick, which PCs, like really small USB stick, which PCs, like really small USB stick, which are actually like really small PCs. And are actually like really small PCs. And are actually like really small PCs. And he managed to turn that into a he managed to turn that into a he managed to turn that into a Kubernetes cluster. This is really cool. Kubernetes cluster. This is really cool. Kubernetes cluster. This is really cool. He he he did the full write up on this. He he he did the full write up on this. He he he did the full write up on this. And I mean, this is the kind of stuff And I mean, this is the kind of stuff And I mean, this is the kind of stuff that goes on inside of the community, that goes on inside of the community, that goes on inside of the community, which is just so cool to me to see these which is just so cool to me to see these which is just so cool to me to see these kinds of projects going on. Uh so, uh to kinds of projects going on. Uh so, uh to kinds of projects going on. Uh so, uh to get back to your question, how difficult get back to your question, how difficult get back to your question, how difficult is it to run that on an Android phone?

is it to run that on an Android phone? is it to run that on an Android phone? person I honestly I don't know I I can't person I honestly I don't know I I can't person I honestly I don't know I I can't answer that question. Um but you should answer that question. Um but you should answer that question. Um but you should definitely go for it. definitely go for it. definitely go for it. I mean Android is Linux so it can be it I mean Android is Linux so it can be it I mean Android is Linux so it can be it can be rocket science. Okay. What would you suggest for Okay. What would you suggest for certification if one is looking to certification if one is looking to certification if one is looking to transition? I see on LinkedIn getting transition? I see on LinkedIn getting transition? I see on LinkedIn getting multiple certifications in multicloud. multiple certifications in multicloud. multiple certifications in multicloud. It's confusing where to start. Any It's confusing where to start. Any It's confusing where to start. Any suggestions? Thank you. Yeah. [laughter] suggestions? Thank you. Yeah. [laughter] suggestions? Thank you. Yeah. [laughter] Well, like this is why CubeCraft exists, Well, like this is why CubeCraft exists, Well, like this is why CubeCraft exists, right? Like right? Like right? Like the pain of DevOps careers is it's just the pain of DevOps careers is it's just the pain of DevOps careers is it's just so painful in the beginning. You see all so painful in the beginning. You see all so painful in the beginning. You see all of these conflicting advice like you you of these conflicting advice like you you of these conflicting advice like you you actually see people getting actually see people getting actually see people getting certifications certifications certifications in multiple clouds in multiple clouds in multiple clouds and that is like the worst that you and that is like the worst that you and that is like the worst that you could do in the beginning. It's the could do in the beginning. It's the could do in the beginning. It's the worst idea. And yeah, worst idea. And yeah, worst idea. And yeah, like Cubecraft started because I was in like Cubecraft started because I was in like Cubecraft started because I was in exactly the same pain as you are now and exactly the same pain as you are now and exactly the same pain as you are now and you were asking me this question, you were asking me this question, you were asking me this question, but I didn't have anyone to to ask this but I didn't have anyone to to ask this but I didn't have anyone to to ask this to like you have me in a live stream to like you have me in a live stream to like you have me in a live stream that will that will answer your that will that will answer your that will that will answer your question. But this is why I created this question. But this is why I created this question. But this is why I created this in order to help people with these in order to help people with these in order to help people with these problems because this is a real problem.

problems because this is a real problem. problems because this is a real problem. Like there are thousands of people out Like there are thousands of people out Like there are thousands of people out there who who who want this job, who there who who who want this job, who there who who who want this job, who want a remote lifestyle, they want to be want a remote lifestyle, they want to be want a remote lifestyle, they want to be autonomous, right? Because that's what autonomous, right? Because that's what autonomous, right? Because that's what this life has given me. Five years ago, this life has given me. Five years ago, this life has given me. Five years ago, I was I was working as a nurse. I had to I was I was working as a nurse. I had to I was I was working as a nurse. I had to work I had to go to the hospital every work I had to go to the hospital every work I had to go to the hospital every single day. I had to show up at my um at single day. I had to show up at my um at single day. I had to show up at my um at the hospital at a certain time. there's the hospital at a certain time. there's the hospital at a certain time. there's no no freedom because these hospitals no no freedom because these hospitals no no freedom because these hospitals you have to work in strict schedules, you have to work in strict schedules, you have to work in strict schedules, right? You can't just have people coming right? You can't just have people coming right? You can't just have people coming and going. So, you have to show up at a and going. So, you have to show up at a and going. So, you have to show up at a certain time. I had to do night shifts. certain time. I had to do night shifts. certain time. I had to do night shifts. I had to work evening shifts and night I had to work evening shifts and night I had to work evening shifts and night shifts. So, my whole sleep rhythm was shifts. So, my whole sleep rhythm was shifts. So, my whole sleep rhythm was completely deregulated. completely deregulated. completely deregulated. And I was uh because of that I I really And I was uh because of that I I really And I was uh because of that I I really hated my life like nursing it was hated my life like nursing it was hated my life like nursing it was beautiful work but I had to actually it beautiful work but I had to actually it beautiful work but I had to actually it cost me so much energy to be there for cost me so much energy to be there for cost me so much energy to be there for the patients because I wanted to do a the patients because I wanted to do a the patients because I wanted to do a good job right and I'm very introverted good job right and I'm very introverted good job right and I'm very introverted like this live stream I need to recover like this live stream I need to recover like this live stream I need to recover 4 hours from this and it was a beautiful 4 hours from this and it was a beautiful 4 hours from this and it was a beautiful work to have these patients thank me for work to have these patients thank me for work to have these patients thank me for the work that I did like making their the work that I did like making their the work that I did like making their day a little bit better But it day a little bit better But it day a little bit better But it completely drained me and I was just completely drained me and I was just completely drained me and I was just exhausted. I I did not want to have this exhausted. I I did not want to have this exhausted. I I did not want to have this life anymore. And now five years later, life anymore. And now five years later, life anymore. And now five years later, I am a senior DevOps engineer, Microsoft I am a senior DevOps engineer, Microsoft I am a senior DevOps engineer, Microsoft MVP, and I managed to create a life for

MVP, and I managed to create a life for MVP, and I managed to create a life for myself that I want. Like I work myself that I want. Like I work myself that I want. Like I work completely remote now. No office. I completely remote now. No office. I completely remote now. No office. I don't have to show up at clients. I don't have to show up at clients. I don't have to show up at clients. I don't take up clients who who are don't take up clients who who are don't take up clients who who are requiring me to go into their office. I requiring me to go into their office. I requiring me to go into their office. I think that's complete to that think that's complete to that think that's complete to that you have to show up at offices three you have to show up at offices three you have to show up at offices three times a week. I'm much less productive times a week. I'm much less productive times a week. I'm much less productive that way. So I I refuse it and I don't that way. So I I refuse it and I don't that way. So I I refuse it and I don't do it. Uh I I make much more money than do it. Uh I I make much more money than do it. Uh I I make much more money than I ever did and all of that was because I I ever did and all of that was because I I ever did and all of that was because I made this career change. But I have a made this career change. But I have a made this career change. But I have a very high pain tolerance. I'm able to do very high pain tolerance. I'm able to do very high pain tolerance. I'm able to do work when I'm not getting any results. work when I'm not getting any results. work when I'm not getting any results. And to be frank like the average person And to be frank like the average person And to be frank like the average person is not cut out that way. Average people is not cut out that way. Average people is not cut out that way. Average people stay average because they cannot stay average because they cannot stay average because they cannot tolerate the pain of working at tolerate the pain of working at tolerate the pain of working at something without getting the results something without getting the results something without getting the results immediately. immediately. immediately. And when I was in this position where I And when I was in this position where I And when I was in this position where I hated my job but all I wanted was a hated my job but all I wanted was a hated my job but all I wanted was a remote job. All I wanted was to have remote job. All I wanted was to have remote job. All I wanted was to have control over my own life. I wanted to be control over my own life. I wanted to be control over my own life. I wanted to be autonomous to work remotely. in that autonomous to work remotely. in that autonomous to work remotely. in that pain. I was, pain. I was, pain. I was, oh, it was so hard for me. I had no one oh, it was so hard for me. I had no one oh, it was so hard for me. I had no one to ask. I had nowhere to go. I didn't to ask. I had nowhere to go. I didn't to ask. I had nowhere to go. I didn't have anyone to to ask. And this is the have anyone to to ask. And this is the have anyone to to ask. And this is the reason why I created CubeCraft and why I reason why I created CubeCraft and why I reason why I created CubeCraft and why I help people and why I do these live help people and why I do these live help people and why I do these live streams every day. Because to back to streams every day. Because to back to streams every day. Because to back to your question, your question, your question, when you see people on LinkedIn getting when you see people on LinkedIn getting when you see people on LinkedIn getting multicloud certifications and maybe

multicloud certifications and maybe multicloud certifications and maybe they're not even a DevOps engineer yet, they're not even a DevOps engineer yet, they're not even a DevOps engineer yet, that can confuse you. So the the answer that can confuse you. So the the answer that can confuse you. So the the answer to that question is no. You should to that question is no. You should to that question is no. You should definitely not get multiple CL like definitely not get multiple CL like definitely not get multiple CL like certifications in multiple clouds. In certifications in multiple clouds. In certifications in multiple clouds. In the beginning you need to focus you need the beginning you need to focus you need the beginning you need to focus you need to hone down on certain skills because to hone down on certain skills because to hone down on certain skills because the the main focus for you in the the the main focus for you in the the the main focus for you in the beginning is to land the job the first beginning is to land the job the first beginning is to land the job the first job. Later you can expand into multiple job. Later you can expand into multiple job. Later you can expand into multiple clouds. But I made the same mistake. I clouds. But I made the same mistake. I clouds. But I made the same mistake. I was learning AWS and Azure because I was learning AWS and Azure because I was learning AWS and Azure because I thought that would make me um that I thought that would make me um that I thought that would make me um that I would increase the chances of my job, would increase the chances of my job, would increase the chances of my job, right? Well, I have more skills so right? Well, I have more skills so right? Well, I have more skills so therefore I can do more jobs. That was therefore I can do more jobs. That was therefore I can do more jobs. That was my my reasoning. It doesn't work that my my reasoning. It doesn't work that my my reasoning. It doesn't work that way because even a senior engineer who way because even a senior engineer who way because even a senior engineer who works in both AWS and Azure has less works in both AWS and Azure has less works in both AWS and Azure has less depth of knowledge and experience than a depth of knowledge and experience than a depth of knowledge and experience than a senior engineer who has been only senior engineer who has been only senior engineer who has been only working with Azure. Like by definition working with Azure. Like by definition working with Azure. Like by definition in terms of hours worked in that cloud in terms of hours worked in that cloud in terms of hours worked in that cloud you have more experience with it. Now you have more experience with it. Now you have more experience with it. Now there's something to say for being a there's something to say for being a there's something to say for being a cloud agnostic but that is something for cloud agnostic but that is something for cloud agnostic but that is something for a later stage. So in the beginning focus a later stage. So in the beginning focus a later stage. So in the beginning focus on one cloud.

The thing I admire about you Misha is The thing I admire about you Misha is your ultimate career switch from two your ultimate career switch from two your ultimate career switch from two distinct paths. Well, thank you very distinct paths. Well, thank you very distinct paths. Well, thank you very much. I I appreciate it. It was hard much. I I appreciate it. It was hard much. I I appreciate it. It was hard work, but I hope my story can inspire work, but I hope my story can inspire work, but I hope my story can inspire others. The home lab is the way. It's insane how The home lab is the way. It's insane how well it works for jobs. Yes, that's why well it works for jobs. Yes, that's why well it works for jobs. Yes, that's why we teach it in CubeCraft. Rohan, I was learning all on Udemy but Rohan, I was learning all on Udemy but cannot use it in the real world and cannot use it in the real world and cannot use it in the real world and losing my interviews. What would you losing my interviews. What would you losing my interviews. What would you suggest? I was planning to join suggest? I was planning to join suggest? I was planning to join CubeCraft. Thanks. Yes. Well, um, cool CubeCraft. Thanks. Yes. Well, um, cool CubeCraft. Thanks. Yes. Well, um, cool to hear that you're interested in in to hear that you're interested in in to hear that you're interested in in joining, but the the the answer is like joining, but the the the answer is like joining, but the the the answer is like this is a typical case of tutorial hell, this is a typical case of tutorial hell, this is a typical case of tutorial hell, right? Like nothing wrong with you, but right? Like nothing wrong with you, but right? Like nothing wrong with you, but most people most people they think I most people most people they think I most people most people they think I want a DevOps job, so the the the want a DevOps job, so the the the want a DevOps job, so the the the solution to the problem is to only watch solution to the problem is to only watch solution to the problem is to only watch courses on Udemy and think that's courses on Udemy and think that's courses on Udemy and think that's enough. But what people don't understand enough. But what people don't understand enough. But what people don't understand is that you need more than just is that you need more than just is that you need more than just technical knowledge technical knowledge technical knowledge to land a job. It's the tech framework to land a job. It's the tech framework to land a job. It's the tech framework that I teach te that I teach te that I teach te tools, experience, content, and human.

tools, experience, content, and human. tools, experience, content, and human. And most people, they only focus on the And most people, they only focus on the And most people, they only focus on the tech skills, but they have no idea about tech skills, but they have no idea about tech skills, but they have no idea about the soft skills, how to get the the soft skills, how to get the the soft skills, how to get the experience on your CV and all of that. experience on your CV and all of that. experience on your CV and all of that. This is what I why I built Cubere. It's This is what I why I built Cubere. It's This is what I why I built Cubere. It's a complete system that will help you a complete system that will help you a complete system that will help you with this. Um, so you need to do more with this. Um, so you need to do more with this. Um, so you need to do more than just tech skills. That's the answer than just tech skills. That's the answer than just tech skills. That's the answer to this. Here's an interesting question. Do you Here's an interesting question. Do you think virtualization Proxmox is going to think virtualization Proxmox is going to think virtualization Proxmox is going to be replaced by Kubernetes or will they be replaced by Kubernetes or will they be replaced by Kubernetes or will they coexist and why? Very very interesting coexist and why? Very very interesting coexist and why? Very very interesting question. Let me just have a drink of question. Let me just have a drink of question. Let me just have a drink of water before I go for that. How are we doing on time? 6:34. Okay, I How are we doing on time? 6:34. Okay, I got about 15 20 minutes uh for me left got about 15 20 minutes uh for me left got about 15 20 minutes uh for me left in me. Keep those questions coming in the chat, Keep those questions coming in the chat, guys.

guys. guys. So, So, So, I was at Talos Con uh when was that? I was at Talos Con uh when was that? I was at Talos Con uh when was that? Friday last week. I was at Taloscon Friday last week. I was at Taloscon Friday last week. I was at Taloscon Talos Linux from Cedaro which is a Talos Linux from Cedaro which is a Talos Linux from Cedaro which is a secure out of the box enterprisegrade secure out of the box enterprisegrade secure out of the box enterprisegrade Kubernetes distribution Kubernetes distribution Kubernetes distribution and many many of the talks here revolved and many many of the talks here revolved and many many of the talks here revolved around enterprises moving completely to around enterprises moving completely to around enterprises moving completely to Kubernetes Kubernetes Kubernetes and using that as a virtualization and using that as a virtualization and using that as a virtualization platform. This is an very interesting platform. This is an very interesting platform. This is an very interesting shift in the industry. We recently had a shift in the industry. We recently had a shift in the industry. We recently had a guest session with a guest session with a guest session with a um um um senior uh cloud architect in in senior uh cloud architect in in senior uh cloud architect in in CubeCraft. He he is responsible for CubeCraft. He he is responsible for CubeCraft. He he is responsible for managing over $40 billion in cloud managing over $40 billion in cloud managing over $40 billion in cloud contracts contracts contracts and in in the in the United States and and in in the in the United States and and in in the in the United States and he did a uh Q&A with us in CubeCraft.

he did a uh Q&A with us in CubeCraft. he did a uh Q&A with us in CubeCraft. like this is the level of of experience like this is the level of of experience like this is the level of of experience that you get access to in CubeCraft. But that you get access to in CubeCraft. But that you get access to in CubeCraft. But he also mentioned that he also mentioned that he also mentioned that Kubernetes is the platform. It's Kubernetes is the platform. It's Kubernetes is the platform. It's becoming the platform. So VMware becoming the platform. So VMware becoming the platform. So VMware and and other virtualization Proxmox and and other virtualization Proxmox and and other virtualization Proxmox these things these things these things are going to be replaced by Kubernetes are going to be replaced by Kubernetes are going to be replaced by Kubernetes in the long run. Will they coexist? Yes. in the long run. Will they coexist? Yes. in the long run. Will they coexist? Yes. I mean, not everything is going to move. I mean, not everything is going to move. I mean, not everything is going to move. There's still going to be companies that There's still going to be companies that There's still going to be companies that are that will be left behind, but are that will be left behind, but are that will be left behind, but Kubernetes Kubernetes Kubernetes is becoming the the the multifunctional is becoming the the the multifunctional is becoming the the the multifunctional platform for everything. So, with platform for everything. So, with platform for everything. So, with Cubevert, Cubevert, Cubevert, you can provision you can provision you can provision virtual machines on Kubernetes, right? virtual machines on Kubernetes, right? virtual machines on Kubernetes, right? And I re I got a Proxmox And I re I got a Proxmox And I re I got a Proxmox server. If you've seen my minis forum server. If you've seen my minis forum server. If you've seen my minis forum video recently, video recently, video recently, I set that up as a Proxmox server. But I set that up as a Proxmox server. But I set that up as a Proxmox server. But actually, I'm just planning to turn that actually, I'm just planning to turn that actually, I'm just planning to turn that into a Talos node and use that with cube into a Talos node and use that with cube into a Talos node and use that with cube uh instead because I hardly ever need to uh instead because I hardly ever need to uh instead because I hardly ever need to use virtual machines anyway. And I might use virtual machines anyway. And I might use virtual machines anyway. And I might as well just have it as a Kubernetes as well just have it as a Kubernetes as well just have it as a Kubernetes cluster. And in the the once in a blue cluster. And in the the once in a blue cluster. And in the the once in a blue moon when I need a VM, I'm I will try to moon when I need a VM, I'm I will try to moon when I need a VM, I'm I will try to use that with a cube. That's my That's use that with a cube. That's my That's use that with a cube. That's my That's my personal strategy my personal strategy my personal strategy and um I'm going to be playing around and um I'm going to be playing around and um I'm going to be playing around with that.

with that. with that. So, those are my thoughts on that. How much does it cost to join and How much does it cost to join and complete your program? Just um you can complete your program? Just um you can complete your program? Just um you can go to cubecraft.dev and there will be go to cubecraft.dev and there will be go to cubecraft.dev and there will be more information there. What should I build on my home lab? What What should I build on my home lab? What kind of projects? kind of projects? kind of projects? Yes. So like there is a full I have a Yes. So like there is a full I have a Yes. So like there is a full I have a full like library of projects that you full like library of projects that you full like library of projects that you can access in um in CubeCraft. But the can access in um in CubeCraft. But the can access in um in CubeCraft. But the the kind of projects like you want to the kind of projects like you want to the kind of projects like you want to showcase you want to showcase your showcase you want to showcase your showcase you want to showcase your skills, right? But on the other hand, skills, right? But on the other hand, skills, right? But on the other hand, you also want to have it useful for you also want to have it useful for you also want to have it useful for yourself. So I recommend starting with a yourself. So I recommend starting with a yourself. So I recommend starting with a problem that you have in your own life.

problem that you have in your own life. problem that you have in your own life. Find a self-hosted application for that Find a self-hosted application for that Find a self-hosted application for that and then try to run that and try to run and then try to run that and try to run and then try to run that and try to run it well and secure it. That is my that it well and secure it. That is my that it well and secure it. That is my that is that is one of the best ways to do it is that is one of the best ways to do it is that is one of the best ways to do it because then you keep it fun. Let's see. Let's see. Why is Kubernetes the future? Why is Kubernetes the future? Why is Kubernetes the future? Interesting. That's a really cool Interesting. That's a really cool Interesting. That's a really cool username as well. Your soul whisperers. username as well. Your soul whisperers. username as well. Your soul whisperers. Nice. Um, why is Kubernetes the future? Nice. Um, why is Kubernetes the future? Nice. Um, why is Kubernetes the future? So So So well I was I already I was already well I was I already I was already well I was I already I was already getting into that in the previous getting into that in the previous getting into that in the previous question where Kubernetes is quickly question where Kubernetes is quickly question where Kubernetes is quickly becoming a platform in and of itself becoming a platform in and of itself becoming a platform in and of itself right. So where you are um where where right. So where you are um where where right. So where you are um where where Kubernetes is now becoming a Kubernetes is now becoming a Kubernetes is now becoming a virtualization platform that is huge virtualization platform that is huge virtualization platform that is huge because this will mean that big because this will mean that big because this will mean that big enterprises who have tons of virtual enterprises who have tons of virtual enterprises who have tons of virtual machines like a lot of their complaints machines like a lot of their complaints machines like a lot of their complaints about moving to Kubernetes was yes we about moving to Kubernetes was yes we about moving to Kubernetes was yes we want Kubernetes but we are still running want Kubernetes but we are still running want Kubernetes but we are still running everything on VMs so we first have to everything on VMs so we first have to everything on VMs so we first have to containerize everything and then we can containerize everything and then we can containerize everything and then we can move to Kubernetes That is a big job.

move to Kubernetes That is a big job. move to Kubernetes That is a big job. Now what you can do is you can actually Now what you can do is you can actually Now what you can do is you can actually lift and shift lift and shift lift and shift workloads that are running on virtual workloads that are running on virtual workloads that are running on virtual machines to Kubernetes on virtual machines to Kubernetes on virtual machines to Kubernetes on virtual machines on Kubernetes. machines on Kubernetes. machines on Kubernetes. So that is a completely new dynamic that So that is a completely new dynamic that So that is a completely new dynamic that is happening like maybe this past year is happening like maybe this past year is happening like maybe this past year is more up and coming. So even companies is more up and coming. So even companies is more up and coming. So even companies that are not containerized, that are not containerized, that are not containerized, they have containerized workloads, they they have containerized workloads, they they have containerized workloads, they are now able to to run on Kubernetes. So are now able to to run on Kubernetes. So are now able to to run on Kubernetes. So why is Kubernetes the future? Well, XAI why is Kubernetes the future? Well, XAI why is Kubernetes the future? Well, XAI Grock is running on Kubernetes. Chat GPT Grock is running on Kubernetes. Chat GPT Grock is running on Kubernetes. Chat GPT is running on Kubernetes. is running on Kubernetes. is running on Kubernetes. Microsoft Azure a lot of their services Microsoft Azure a lot of their services Microsoft Azure a lot of their services is running on Kubernetes. Microsoft 365 is running on Kubernetes. Microsoft 365 is running on Kubernetes. Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Office that runs on or Microsoft Office that runs on or Microsoft Office that runs on Kubernetes. And like think about what Kubernetes. And like think about what Kubernetes. And like think about what that means. like Microsoft, a that means. like Microsoft, a that means. like Microsoft, a multibillion dollar company, is using multibillion dollar company, is using multibillion dollar company, is using their own Azure Kubernetes service to their own Azure Kubernetes service to their own Azure Kubernetes service to run services for their own cloud. Now, run services for their own cloud. Now, run services for their own cloud. Now, this should tell you something. This this should tell you something. This this should tell you something. This should tell you that if the cloud should tell you that if the cloud should tell you that if the cloud providers are using Kubernetes to run providers are using Kubernetes to run providers are using Kubernetes to run the clouds, the clouds, the clouds, then you know you're on to something.

then you know you're on to something. then you know you're on to something. like be before it was Linux and like be before it was Linux and like be before it was Linux and Kubernetes is Linux of course it's a Kubernetes is Linux of course it's a Kubernetes is Linux of course it's a layer on top of of of layer on top of of of layer on top of of of Linux but Kubernetes is now used by the Linux but Kubernetes is now used by the Linux but Kubernetes is now used by the cloud companies to provide this cloud companies to provide this cloud companies to provide this infrastructure so if they can use it if infrastructure so if they can use it if infrastructure so if they can use it if the big AI companies are using it the big AI companies are using it the big AI companies are using it like why would Kubernetes not be the like why would Kubernetes not be the like why would Kubernetes not be the future like I get I I'm on X a lot and future like I get I I'm on X a lot and future like I get I I'm on X a lot and I'm tweeting these tweets where I say uh I'm tweeting these tweets where I say uh I'm tweeting these tweets where I say uh hard pill to swallow. Kubernetes is the hard pill to swallow. Kubernetes is the hard pill to swallow. Kubernetes is the future. And I get these comments like future. And I get these comments like future. And I get these comments like almost no company needs Kubernetes. It's almost no company needs Kubernetes. It's almost no company needs Kubernetes. It's just so delusional when people say that just so delusional when people say that just so delusional when people say that because first they don't know the data. because first they don't know the data. because first they don't know the data. But the reason they say that is because But the reason they say that is because But the reason they say that is because they are intimidated. They they don't they are intimidated. They they don't they are intimidated. They they don't they find Kubernetes intimidating and they find Kubernetes intimidating and they find Kubernetes intimidating and they they are usually out they have they they are usually out they have they they are usually out they have outdated skill sets. They have probably outdated skill sets. They have probably outdated skill sets. They have probably been in the industry for 10, 15 years been in the industry for 10, 15 years been in the industry for 10, 15 years and they have a comfortable six figure and they have a comfortable six figure and they have a comfortable six figure salary and they're coasting along for 2 salary and they're coasting along for 2 salary and they're coasting along for 2 hours a day and they don't want to be hours a day and they don't want to be hours a day and they don't want to be bothered by learning some new bothered by learning some new bothered by learning some new technology. Especially with Kubernetes technology. Especially with Kubernetes technology. Especially with Kubernetes which has a false rumor that it's hard which has a false rumor that it's hard which has a false rumor that it's hard to learn. It's completely false.

to learn. It's completely false. to learn. It's completely false. Kubernetes is not hard to learn. Kubernetes is not hard to learn. Kubernetes is not hard to learn. Kubernetes is not difficult to master. Kubernetes is not difficult to master. Kubernetes is not difficult to master. People just want to make it out that People just want to make it out that People just want to make it out that way. Kubernetes is easy. C If you if you way. Kubernetes is easy. C If you if you way. Kubernetes is easy. C If you if you take the time, if you know Linux and if take the time, if you know Linux and if take the time, if you know Linux and if you know how to work with an API, you know how to work with an API, you know how to work with an API, Kubernetes is freaking easy. Seriously, Kubernetes is freaking easy. Seriously, Kubernetes is freaking easy. Seriously, it's not hard to learn at all. But it's not hard to learn at all. But it's not hard to learn at all. But people don't put in the effort and people don't put in the effort and people don't put in the effort and because they feel threatened and they're because they feel threatened and they're because they feel threatened and they're lazy. So lazy. So lazy. So why Kubernetes is the future? Well, my why Kubernetes is the future? Well, my why Kubernetes is the future? Well, my question is why would it not be the question is why would it not be the question is why would it not be the future? Like anyone in the chat who future? Like anyone in the chat who future? Like anyone in the chat who disagrees, please let me know. I'm happy disagrees, please let me know. I'm happy disagrees, please let me know. I'm happy to discuss this here, but like I'm I'm to discuss this here, but like I'm I'm to discuss this here, but like I'm I'm just going to say it. If you're ignoring just going to say it. If you're ignoring just going to say it. If you're ignoring Kubernetes, you're an idiot. You're Kubernetes, you're an idiot. You're Kubernetes, you're an idiot. You're you're you're really an idiot. I saw you're you're really an idiot. I saw you're you're really an idiot. I saw this three years ago. I went all in on this three years ago. I went all in on this three years ago. I went all in on it. And I'm I I make good money. I have it. And I'm I I make good money. I have it. And I'm I I make good money. I have no I can get a job at any time I want. I no I can get a job at any time I want. I no I can get a job at any time I want. I get contracts. And this is why CubeCraft get contracts. And this is why CubeCraft get contracts. And this is why CubeCraft is called Cubecraft. Like I teach the is called Cubecraft. Like I teach the is called Cubecraft. Like I teach the craft of the Kubernetes engineer. And craft of the Kubernetes engineer. And craft of the Kubernetes engineer. And we're landing jobs left, right, and we're landing jobs left, right, and we're landing jobs left, right, and center.

Yeah. Why are a lot of influencers on X Yeah. Why are a lot of influencers on X and LinkedIn talk about Kubernetes if and LinkedIn talk about Kubernetes if and LinkedIn talk about Kubernetes if it's an over overkill in most cases? it's an over overkill in most cases? it's an over overkill in most cases? Because they don't understand Because they don't understand Because they don't understand Kubernetes. Like people who say this, Kubernetes. Like people who say this, Kubernetes. Like people who say this, they don't understand Kubernetes. they don't understand Kubernetes. they don't understand Kubernetes. Like I I I built an airgapped Like I I I built an airgapped Like I I I built an airgapped environment for a Danish company that environment for a Danish company that environment for a Danish company that had it was a very interesting case. is had it was a very interesting case. is had it was a very interesting case. is they had like two government um private they had like two government um private they had like two government um private clouds like on-prem environments and it clouds like on-prem environments and it clouds like on-prem environments and it needed to have a needed to have a needed to have a an application on both of those an application on both of those an application on both of those networks. It was really weird. It was networks. It was really weird. It was networks. It was really weird. It was completely airgapped. Very difficult. completely airgapped. Very difficult. completely airgapped. Very difficult. But the only way that this the the best But the only way that this the the best But the only way that this the the best way that this could be done is to have a way that this could be done is to have a way that this could be done is to have a git repo in each of those networks. have git repo in each of those networks. have git repo in each of those networks. have the Kubernetes cluster pull in the the the Kubernetes cluster pull in the the the Kubernetes cluster pull in the the the the configuration with GitOps and it the the configuration with GitOps and it the the configuration with GitOps and it worked perfectly. It was just running worked perfectly. It was just running worked perfectly. It was just running two containers but having this pullbased two containers but having this pullbased two containers but having this pullbased configuration it worked perfectly and e configuration it worked perfectly and e configuration it worked perfectly and e like the footprint of K3S is like 500 like the footprint of K3S is like 500 like the footprint of K3S is like 500 megabytes. Like people want to make it megabytes. Like people want to make it megabytes. Like people want to make it out like it's some sort of super beast out like it's some sort of super beast out like it's some sort of super beast that you have to control and it's really that you have to control and it's really that you have to control and it's really hard to learn, but it's not. It's it's hard to learn, but it's not. It's it's hard to learn, but it's not. It's it's it's easy. Kubernetes is freaking easy.

I I like this new Misha Beast boat. I I like this new Misha Beast boat. Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. [laughter] Well, thank you. Yes, I I am starting to Well, thank you. Yes, I I am starting to Well, thank you. Yes, I I am starting to talk. I'm I'm uh yeah, I'm developing talk. I'm I'm uh yeah, I'm developing talk.

I'm already a senior engineer interested in the home lab engineer interested in the home lab engineer interested in the home lab course. Can I get access to it without course. Can I get access to it without course. Can I get access to it without joining the the career accelerate joining the the career accelerate joining the the career accelerate community? No, you cannot. the course is community? No, you cannot. the course is community? No, you cannot. the course is a part of the curriculum but like I've a part of the curriculum but like I've a part of the curriculum but like I've like you say you're already a senior like you say you're already a senior like you say you're already a senior engineer but interestingly like like 30% engineer but interestingly like like 30% engineer but interestingly like like 30% 40% of the people in cubecraft are 40% of the people in cubecraft are 40% of the people in cubecraft are already senior engineers and mo and a already senior engineers and mo and a already senior engineers and mo and a lot of them they are getting they want lot of them they are getting they want lot of them they are getting they want to upskill on Kubernetes right they and to upskill on Kubernetes right they and to upskill on Kubernetes right they and then that's why they come to me because then that's why they come to me because then that's why they come to me because they want to learn from someone who they want to learn from someone who they want to learn from someone who understands it but also who understands understands it but also who understands understands it but also who understands to help them get further in the in the

to help them get further in the in the to help them get further in the in the industry. So, we don't we don't just industry. So, we don't we don't just industry. So, we don't we don't just help beginners, we help uh seniors as help beginners, we help uh seniors as help beginners, we help uh seniors as well. Drew wrote a very interesting well. Drew wrote a very interesting well. Drew wrote a very interesting comment comment comment here. So, to the point of I'm already a here. So, to the point of I'm already a here. So, to the point of I'm already a senior, but I don't I just want the home senior, but I don't I just want the home senior, but I don't I just want the home lab course. Well, here's the answer to lab course. Well, here's the answer to lab course. Well, here's the answer to that. Drew Elliot. As a Linux user with that. Drew Elliot. As a Linux user with that. Drew Elliot. As a Linux user with decades of experience starting with decades of experience starting with decades of experience starting with Reddit and even compiling Gen two and a Reddit and even compiling Gen two and a Reddit and even compiling Gen two and a Spark workstation, I've used countless Spark workstation, I've used countless Spark workstation, I've used countless distributions. While I've installed Arch distributions. While I've installed Arch distributions. While I've installed Arch dozens of times, your C course offered dozens of times, your C course offered dozens of times, your C course offered something new. What I valued most was something new. What I valued most was something new. What I valued most was the thoughtful philosophy behind it. You the thoughtful philosophy behind it. You the thoughtful philosophy behind it. You encouraged a deeper understanding of encouraged a deeper understanding of encouraged a deeper understanding of each tool, which challenged my habit of each tool, which challenged my habit of each tool, which challenged my habit of simply accepting default settings. Your simply accepting default settings. Your simply accepting default settings. Your course taught me the real value of course taught me the real value of course taught me the real value of tailoring my environment to my workflow tailoring my environment to my workflow tailoring my environment to my workflow rather than the other way around. It was rather than the other way around. It was rather than the other way around. It was a crucial lesson in making my tools my a crucial lesson in making my tools my a crucial lesson in making my tools my truly my own. So when someone says I'm truly my own. So when someone says I'm truly my own. So when someone says I'm already a senior, I just want that already a senior, I just want that already a senior, I just want that course.

course. course. Basically Basically Basically you you are saying that you are finished you you are saying that you are finished you you are saying that you are finished learning and you just want to learn one learning and you just want to learn one learning and you just want to learn one specific thing and that's simply not the specific thing and that's simply not the specific thing and that's simply not the case. like there's always more to learn case. like there's always more to learn case. like there's always more to learn and even people with 20 years two and even people with 20 years two and even people with 20 years two decades of Linux experience pick out decades of Linux experience pick out decades of Linux experience pick out something from my teaching because I something from my teaching because I something from my teaching because I have certain approaches to it like my have certain approaches to it like my have certain approaches to it like my stuff is not something not the generic stuff is not something not the generic stuff is not something not the generic stuff that you see in LinkedIn I go stuff that you see in LinkedIn I go stuff that you see in LinkedIn I go really deep and I teach you different really deep and I teach you different really deep and I teach you different mindsets and this why it's working so mindsets and this why it's working so mindsets and this why it's working so well because people like it so much so well because people like it so much so well because people like it so much so um if you want to get the home lab um if you want to get the home lab um if you want to get the home lab course join CubeCraft Does passing CKA make you ready for Does passing CKA make you ready for work? What's your perspective? work? What's your perspective? work? What's your perspective? Um, Um, Um, it does not make you ready for work in it does not make you ready for work in it does not make you ready for work in that sense. However, of all of the that sense. However, of all of the that sense. However, of all of the certifications, certifications, certifications, CKA is definitely um uh a a CKA is definitely um uh a a CKA is definitely um uh a a certification that is going to raise certification that is going to raise certification that is going to raise your value a lot. So if someone comes to your value a lot. So if someone comes to your value a lot. So if someone comes to my if if I would be hiring someone and my if if I would be hiring someone and my if if I would be hiring someone and they would have two Azure certificates they would have two Azure certificates they would have two Azure certificates I mean those are decent that you need I mean those are decent that you need I mean those are decent that you need some skills for that but it is some skills for that but it is some skills for that but it is theoretical knowledge it doesn't mean theoretical knowledge it doesn't mean theoretical knowledge it doesn't mean that they have actually done the work that they have actually done the work that they have actually done the work however for a CKA that's a time however for a CKA that's a time however for a CKA that's a time pressured 2-hour exam where you are pressured 2-hour exam where you are pressured 2-hour exam where you are expected to solve hard questions using

expected to solve hard questions using expected to solve hard questions using the command line only editing text files the command line only editing text files the command line only editing text files with Vim uh in in a pressured with Vim uh in in a pressured with Vim uh in in a pressured environment and that tells me something environment and that tells me something environment and that tells me something about your skills, your your ability to about your skills, your your ability to about your skills, your your ability to work under pressure and your ability how work under pressure and your ability how work under pressure and your ability how how you how much you can manage how you how much you can manage how you how much you can manage Kubernetes. So I wouldn't say it would Kubernetes. So I wouldn't say it would Kubernetes. So I wouldn't say it would it by definition makes you ready for the it by definition makes you ready for the it by definition makes you ready for the job but if you have a solid foundation job but if you have a solid foundation job but if you have a solid foundation in Linux CKA in Linux CKA in Linux CKA and some programming skills then you and some programming skills then you and some programming skills then you have a very strong baseline for landing have a very strong baseline for landing have a very strong baseline for landing a job for sure. You are not picking questions from You are not picking questions from LinkedIn live. Actually, that is right. LinkedIn live. Actually, that is right. LinkedIn live. Actually, that is right. I am uh I'm reading the the Riverside I am uh I'm reading the the Riverside I am uh I'm reading the the Riverside chat and apparently that is not syncing. chat and apparently that is not syncing. chat and apparently that is not syncing. Uh so let's see if if are there a couple Uh so let's see if if are there a couple Uh so let's see if if are there a couple of questions from LinkedIn? Oh, there of questions from LinkedIn? Oh, there of questions from LinkedIn? Oh, there actually not many questions there.

Well, there's one question. What Well, there's one question. What resources to learn Kubernetes real time resources to learn Kubernetes real time resources to learn Kubernetes real time scenarios? scenarios? scenarios? Um, don't really know what that means. Um, don't really know what that means. Um, don't really know what that means. What resources to learn Kubernetes What resources to learn Kubernetes What resources to learn Kubernetes realtime scenarios? Well, you can check realtime scenarios? Well, you can check realtime scenarios? Well, you can check out Killer Koda. That's really good. out Killer Koda. That's really good. out Killer Koda. That's really good. That is like live labs. You can use That is like live labs. You can use That is like live labs. You can use those for preparation for the those for preparation for the those for preparation for the um for the certificates. Cool. I have a couple of questions in me Cool. I have a couple of questions in me and then we're going to wrap it up for and then we're going to wrap it up for and then we're going to wrap it up for today. Let's see. I've heard Kubernetes is not Let's see. I've heard Kubernetes is not the future because it's it's too complex the future because it's it's too complex the future because it's it's too complex for small teams. I mean it depends what for small teams. I mean it depends what for small teams. I mean it depends what your team depends on and what you're your team depends on and what you're your team depends on and what you're running right and I mean I don't think running right and I mean I don't think running right and I mean I don't think having a small team is a reason not to having a small team is a reason not to having a small team is a reason not to use Kubernetes if you have like it's not use Kubernetes if you have like it's not use Kubernetes if you have like it's not hard to learn guys it's it it completely hard to learn guys it's it it completely hard to learn guys it's it it completely depends on what you have to do but um depends on what you have to do but um depends on what you have to do but um saying Kubernetes is not the future saying Kubernetes is not the future saying Kubernetes is not the future because it cannot be managed by small because it cannot be managed by small because it cannot be managed by small teams is a ridiculous statement because teams is a ridiculous statement because teams is a ridiculous statement because the world has more than just small the world has more than just small the world has more than just small teams.

There are many plenty of big teams out There are many plenty of big teams out there that are thriving on Kubernetes. there that are thriving on Kubernetes. there that are thriving on Kubernetes. So it's not a reason why Kubernetes So it's not a reason why Kubernetes So it's not a reason why Kubernetes would not be the future. Let's see. Another question. What about Let's see. Another question. What about X? Do I get any questions on X? I'm X? Do I get any questions on X? I'm X? Do I get any questions on X? I'm multistreaming here, so I have no idea multistreaming here, so I have no idea multistreaming here, so I have no idea what's actually happening. No, there's no chat there or at least no No, there's no chat there or at least no people in that chat. Okay. So then I can people in that chat. Okay. So then I can people in that chat. Okay. So then I can just pick from Riverside. does your course include any type of does your course include any type of definite structure or is it more definite structure or is it more definite structure or is it more open-ended where the primary way you open-ended where the primary way you open-ended where the primary way you learn is by jumping into different learn is by jumping into different learn is by jumping into different projects and sort of growing alongside projects and sort of growing alongside projects and sort of growing alongside the community? No, it's very structured.

the community? No, it's very structured. the community? No, it's very structured. It's very structured. So there is a very It's very structured. So there is a very It's very structured. So there is a very clear road map and it is systemsbased. clear road map and it is systemsbased. clear road map and it is systemsbased. So people who are actually already in So people who are actually already in So people who are actually already in the community they they don't we are the community they they don't we are the community they they don't we are rolling this out right now but um the rolling this out right now but um the rolling this out right now but um the the classroom is created in systems. So the classroom is created in systems. So the classroom is created in systems. So we have DevOps OS focus OS job magnet OS we have DevOps OS focus OS job magnet OS we have DevOps OS focus OS job magnet OS and interview OS home lab OS. So all of and interview OS home lab OS. So all of and interview OS home lab OS. So all of these different systems are what are these different systems are what are these different systems are what are going to be landing you your DevOps job going to be landing you your DevOps job going to be landing you your DevOps job in two to 20 weeks. So first you start in two to 20 weeks. So first you start in two to 20 weeks. So first you start with the onboarding with the onboarding with the onboarding and we we show you around what to do. and we we show you around what to do. and we we show you around what to do. Then there's the full road map that you Then there's the full road map that you Then there's the full road map that you walk through and um through in that road walk through and um through in that road walk through and um through in that road map you are guided through all of the map you are guided through all of the map you are guided through all of the systems and where to start and it so systems and where to start and it so systems and where to start and it so it's very structured. It's not just some it's very structured. It's not just some it's very structured. It's not just some random couple of projects. you will know random couple of projects. you will know random couple of projects. you will know exactly what to do at what point and the exactly what to do at what point and the exactly what to do at what point and the the way I have set it up like my my the way I have set it up like my my the way I have set it up like my my teaching is different it focuses on teaching is different it focuses on teaching is different it focuses on three three pillars it's standards three three pillars it's standards three three pillars it's standards systems support so what you've seen now systems support so what you've seen now systems support so what you've seen now are the systems but we also give you are the systems but we also give you are the systems but we also give you standards and this is what most courses standards and this is what most courses standards and this is what most courses they will they will teach you what to they will they will teach you what to they will they will teach you what to learn but they never tell you when to learn but they never tell you when to learn but they never tell you when to stop learning right so courses will tell stop learning right so courses will tell stop learning right so courses will tell you learn Linux or roadmap learn Linux.

you learn Linux or roadmap learn Linux. you learn Linux or roadmap learn Linux. Yeah, but what does learning Linux Yeah, but what does learning Linux Yeah, but what does learning Linux actually mean? actually mean? actually mean? There's tons of books that you can do There's tons of books that you can do There's tons of books that you can do about Linux, but how do you know when about Linux, but how do you know when about Linux, but how do you know when you're actually done with that? Right? you're actually done with that? Right? you're actually done with that? Right? Same for Kubernetes. Like what does Same for Kubernetes. Like what does Same for Kubernetes. Like what does learning Kubernetes actually mean? How learning Kubernetes actually mean? How learning Kubernetes actually mean? How do you know when to stop learning and do you know when to stop learning and do you know when to stop learning and move on to the next thing? Well, those move on to the next thing? Well, those move on to the next thing? Well, those are the standards. So, it's standard are the standards. So, it's standard are the standards. So, it's standard system support. So, we'll tell you what system support. So, we'll tell you what system support. So, we'll tell you what to do at what time. Very structured. And to do at what time. Very structured. And to do at what time. Very structured. And then there's the support. So there's then there's the support. So there's then there's the support. So there's live mentoring from me, myself, and live mentoring from me, myself, and live mentoring from me, myself, and other coaches. So whenever you get other coaches. So whenever you get other coaches. So whenever you get stuck, you just jump on a call with us stuck, you just jump on a call with us stuck, you just jump on a call with us and we help you right away. You're never and we help you right away. You're never and we help you right away. You're never stuck for more than 24 hours. What's your suggestion to some who have What's your suggestion to some who have no programming experience like me, have no programming experience like me, have no programming experience like me, have only network assist admin experience, only network assist admin experience, only network assist admin experience, and wish to land a DevOps job? Well, um and wish to land a DevOps job? Well, um and wish to land a DevOps job? Well, um suggestion is um check out CubeCraft.

suggestion is um check out CubeCraft. suggestion is um check out CubeCraft. That's first of all, but secondly, um That's first of all, but secondly, um That's first of all, but secondly, um you already have CIS admin skills. So if you already have CIS admin skills. So if you already have CIS admin skills. So if you widen that out from if you widen you widen that out from if you widen you widen that out from if you widen that with Kubernetes skills, that with Kubernetes skills, that with Kubernetes skills, um that is that is the thing to do. Uh um that is that is the thing to do. Uh um that is that is the thing to do. Uh oh, oops, that was a different one. oh, oops, that was a different one. oh, oops, that was a different one. Where is it? Uh what's your suggestion? Programming Uh what's your suggestion? Programming experience experience experience here. There we go. You already have here. There we go. You already have here. There we go. You already have networking and CIS admin experience and networking and CIS admin experience and networking and CIS admin experience and you wish to land a DV job. So you have a you wish to land a DV job. So you have a you wish to land a DV job. So you have a good foundation. Networking CIS admin good foundation. Networking CIS admin good foundation. Networking CIS admin extremely important. If you widen that extremely important. If you widen that extremely important. If you widen that with Kubernetes and if you widen that with Kubernetes and if you widen that with Kubernetes and if you widen that with um some Python programming then you with um some Python programming then you with um some Python programming then you have a very solid foundation for a have a very solid foundation for a have a very solid foundation for a DevOps job.
