Cloud-First DevOps Learning Path – Start Smart with Eduarn

 

If you're planning to begin your DevOps journey, either as a retail learner or a corporate professional, you're likely wondering:

"Where should I start, and what tools do I really need to master?"

Traditionally, the DevOps learning path begins with Linux, followed by Git, scripting, and finally tools like Docker and Kubernetes. However, based on our years of experience in training corporate employees and individual learners, we've developed a smarter, Cloud-First approach that makes the learning curve more practical and efficient—especially when resources are limited.

🔹 Why Start with the Cloud?

In many corporate or home-learning environments, learners don’t have access to Unix/Linux machines, or the ability to run virtual machines using tools like Vagrant or VirtualBox. Setting up local environments is time-consuming and resource-intensive.

With the Cloud-First approach, you can:

• Launch Linux machines instantly using AWS EC2

• Understand IAM roles and VPC networking early on

• Manage cloud costs effectively

• Set up DevOps labs without relying on heavy local infrastructure

This enables learners to start practicing from day one, using real-world tools on real infrastructure—remotely and efficiently.
