Ask HN: As a dev, how do you get better at devops? Are AWS certs worth it?
So for the past few years, I've done some deployment/setting up my servers on AWS, but I feel like I'm just really doing the basic things.(setting up a VPC, spinning up servers etc.) I'm still in the process of thinking/coding a SaaS indie-hacker style and I feel like my skill level in this area is really lacking. How did you get better, aside from the whole keep on trying stuff out/experimenting? I'll put in the work, just looking for some learning optimization (books, Youtube channel, whatever) if any exists. For people who've dived into the AWS cert, or structured learning, is it worth it? The cert is not the most important thing (though I'll do my best to pass the exam if or when I take it in the future), what matters is that I gain the skillz, but I do want some sort of roadmap/structure, and I imagine some other devs think the same. 0 comments on Hacker News.
