- The following path is opinionated. You can find alternative paths in [ Coming soon....]
- Do NOT attempt to learn everything, especially if you are a complete beginner (the burnout will make you regret you ever heard the word DevOps)
- Learn enough to say "Hey, I know what is DevOps and I can build anything out of it 😎". You can learn everything else by demand or when you feel ready
| Topic | What to learn | Alternatives | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Version Control | Git | - | Version Control is used everywhere and Git is the leading version control technology |
| Programming | At least one programming language | None. Don't settle for learning only shell scripting | Anyone who practice DevOps should know programming to some extent |
| Operating System | Linux | Other distribution of Linux :D | Operating Systems is another must when it comes to DevOps |
| Protocols | DHCP, UDP, TCP, HTTP, SSH | Not as an alternative, you can simply learn later: NFS, NTP, FTP | Learn how these protocols work and what they are used for |
| Applications | Web Server, Load Balancer, Cache, Database | Learn how they work and try out some implementations (e.g. MySQL for databases and httpd for web servers) | |
| System Design | Availability, Reliability, Scalability, Performance | Learn how to design infrastructure and systems |
The second must list :) Seriously though, don't try to master everything in this list and start with something that you are interested in. The order has no meaning in this case.
Learning by doing proved to be a very effective way to learn new things. If you are at a point where you don't feel comfortable enough to do it by yourself and you look for some guidance, the following sites might assist you

Another great way to learn is to learn from the experience of others. For that, the are some excellent DevOps communities.
