Transformed! A Musical DevOps Journey
summary
Shows a Cloud Resume Challenge spec of 16 steps (IaC, CI/CD, serverless API, auth, multi-language) and a real build deployed at dsresume.com that lands a plumber-turned-developer a DevOps job after a LinkedIn post hits ~200,000 views. Demonstrates a plumbing smoke test analogy for observability, stages an on-stage serverless vs containers rap that names Kubernetes and functions, cites Google Cloud’s estimate of 40 million new cloud builders, and argues apprenticeships plus measurable milestones actually work.
