My path to DevSecOps: from IT Manager to Cloud / DevSecOps Engineer

The whole road in one place: 5 phases in 12 months (Linux, Azure, Terraform and CI/CD, Kubernetes, security and GitOps), then MLOps. For every phase: the goal, the official course, the best book, the exam, the hands-on project and the summary on this site.
