Hello everyone!

Erik from Stockholm, Sweden. Currently working with helping companies build and improve cloud-based solutions and architectures, with a focus on cloud infrastructure and platform engineering - mainly with AWS in practice. Worked in a IT consultant role in the past 28 years.

Saw a note in dev.to about this community and thought this sounded like a great place :-)

Nice to meet you Erik, I think I'll want to check in with you about Web RTC and alternatives for AWS, but that's on a back burner for now. I do a good bit with serverless and lambdas, and have used serverless and amplify to deploy.

Lucy Linder

Hello there !

I am derlin, a passionate software engineer (hard on coding) drawn to devops against my will... Mostly working with Kubernetes (AWS EKS) and OpenShift (on-premise) right now, I had to learn the ropes of gitops (and all the tools/technologies surrounding it).

I must admit I enjoy it more than expected ;)

I love to learn (which I do well), but also to share. This community seems the perfect fit !

PS: I am already active on dev.to (same handle), where I post more software/less infra posts. See you there if you are interested !

Hi There,

I am Jatin, an AWS Engineer who is trying to shift from developer -> Core DevOps. Have been writing about aws for my employer for quite a time, but nobody talked about DevOps or how DevOps can help modern software application development.

Thank you OPS community for giving me this platform where I can learn and help others.

I will try to focus more on the basics where people who are just joining this community or starting their journey with DevOps are not overwhelmed.

Let's make this platform, this OPS community the best place/home for all the passionate cloud engineers, DevOps and tech guys.

Here is my first blog .

I regularly post about aws, and DevOps on LinkedIn too:-

Hi,
I am Gjorgi, a very general operator in IT, with passion for learning about AI through Python programming, while using Linux as that flying carpet to get to destinations never thought were possible. Met so many cool people along the way, I hope that trend continues here.
I found Dev.to through a post on Red Hat's "Enable Sysadmin" newsletter, then I saw Dev.to's link to this community, and I thought "hmmmm, perhaps I have something to share here from my RHCE journey." I failed the RHCE exam by the way, but I learned plenty.
Looking forward to meeting more cool people with depth of curiosity and expertise,
Thank you!

Hey Ops Community Team.

It's been a superb experience till now using this community. Learning a lot!!!

I wanted to put a few suggestions for this space?

-> can we have a monthly thread at the starting of each month where users, as well as moderators, can post their plan for this month, even for this post i am using this welcome thread.

-> is it possible to incorporate the count for each of the tags? when someone is trying to join the community would assess tags based on count; for example, there are many communities and blogs on AWS or other ops. But if the ops community has a count for each of the tags that would signify how much active are the community users for the tag.

Brad Johnson • Edited

Hi @jatin! Thank for your suggestions and for being a contributing member this Ops Community we're all growing together.

Monthly Ops recap and roadmap -> This is a great idea. I'll circle up with The Ops Moderators and make this a recurring post starting in July. In the meantime, feel free to make general comments about the community on this long-living Ops post.

Tag counts -> I'll have to check with the dev.to folks to see how they enabled post counts for different tags, but it looks like this is possible. In the meantime, here are the most popular tags by count as of this AM:

devops - 233 posts
tutorials - 133 posts
aws - 82 posts
cloudops - 66 posts
kubernetes - 63 posts
productivity - 45 posts
azure - 34 posts
secops - 24 posts
cicd - 22 posts
docker - 21 posts
terraform - 18 posts

Hello there πŸ‘‹

Thanks for the invitation !

I am primarly a backend developer, and have been working with Microsoft tech for many years. I have developed my expertise in Azure over the last few years, and recently are working more on the "infrastructure" side of things.

I am very interested by how the cloud is evolving, how organizations are changing, and how devs and ops are working together. I have many things to learn about cloud native projects as I think this is the future of our industry.

I wish this community will become a great place for sharing and learning πŸŽ‰
