Sure I can @patrick_londa and thank you for mentioning me.
As @jatin already provided an awesome bunch of resources I'd like to throw in:
1) two books I recommend reading, which are "The Phoenix Project" and "The Unicorn Project", both by Gene Kim, each one a gem on its own
2) my opinion, that DevOps is so much more than "being a cloud engineer", the actual meaning is what is hidden invisibly between the "Dev" and the "Ops" part, basically any topic which hinders or slows down the flow of value from Dev to Ops is included, yes even management topics
3) an advice that, yes while you can do DevOps without agile development teams and within waterfall structures, just don't join a company working like that, except you like to be in pain - a lot
4) and another advice, while you can learn all the basic principles especially in regards to this field the real learning happens by applying the knowledge practically, so do experimentation and do not be afraid to fail

Welcome to the community @nvsblmike :-)

I resonate with every point said by @pirxdanford. Learn, Do and fail is what i am also doing for learning.
Tools will come and go and understanding how you can bridge the gap between Dev and Ops teams is the key to DevOps/ cloudOps.
