Cloud/DevOps Engineering Roadmap 2022

I always wanted to get into tech but I couldn’t figure out which path in tech to follow. After much research, I decided to stick with Cloud Engineering, commonly known as Cloud Computing. I have a knack for learning in a structured way and this informed my decision to get a roadmap to learn cloud computing. I compiled this roadmap within four months via resources gathered online(Slack communities, Twitter and LinkedIn). Let’s get to the roadmap details:

Section 1: This section covers IT building blocks — HTML, CSS, Javascript, Git, and their respective learning websites. The Ultimate Cloud Engineering Go-To Roadmap by LearntoCloud is the real deal, its six phases cloud computing learning guide has every concept/resource/project you need for your cloud journey. I listed tech talent schools/pipelines across Africa that organize tech cohorts for newbies to enroll, you can check the schools online to know each school cohort learning period and which tech path to enroll for. I am currently enrolled in the Cloud Engineering Diploma program at AltSchoolAfrica.

Section 2: Here, I listed job search strategies, tech job boards, internship platforms, and job search tips.

Section 3: This section covers career strategy tips, creating a skills inventory for yourself, and mapping out your career strategy.

Section 4: Reaching out to recruiters can get you your first role, you could reach out to them via LinkedIn or a recruiters list via eugenehayden.com/wah, three recruiter’s outreach strategies for you!

Section 5: This cover letter section is in two parts; the five-paragraph cover letter and the ideas cover letter. The ideas cover letter template helps you figure out ideas to pitch to your dream company via your job application.

Section 6: This section entails resume tips and a resume template you can tailor to your personal details and skillset.

Section 7: Optimizing your LinkedIn profile with the right keywords is key to landing your first role, and making your profile visible to recruiters and the LinkedIn members pool, this section helps with that.
