QA and DevOps: A Journey of Growth, Mistakes, and Learning
summary
A QA-to-DevOps career path shown as concrete steps: learns Docker and Kubernetes, runs a tiny web server, builds a CI pipeline with Terraform and GitHub Actions, adds static and dynamic code analysis, and deploys to a $6/month VPS and cloud free tiers (with $200 trial credits). Prepares in one month with online courses (one for $17) and earns an AWS associate cert, survives real failures — deleted a Postgres instance and broken Friday deploys — and treats those incidents as essential learning.
