Hey, kinda off topic but what's the best way to get into a Linux/Kubernetes admin role? I've got a degree in networking, several years of helpdesk experience and I'm currently working as an implementation specialist.
Is that something I could simply upskill and slide into or are there specific certs that will blow the doors open for new opportunities?
Sure! I got my start with this sort of tech, just running docker containers on my home server for running stuff like nextcloud and game servers. I did tech support for a more traditional web hosting MSP for a while, and then I ended up getting hired as a DevOps trainee for a internal platform team doing Kubernetes. I did some Kubernetes consulting after that and got really experienced with the tech.
I would say to try running some Docker containers and learn the pros and cons with them, and then I would say to start studying for the CKAD certification. The CKAD cert is pretty comprehensive and it'll show you how to run docker containers in production with Kubernetes. Kind is a great way to get a Kubernetes cluster running on your laptop. For more long term clusters, you can play around with k3s on-prem, or otherwise, I would recommend Digital Ocean's managed Kubernetes. Look into ArgoCD once you want to get serious about running Kubernetes in production.
I think with a CKAD cert you can land a Kubernetes job pretty easily.
I would probably only recommend the CKA cert on the path to CKS. CKA gets into a lot of the nitty gritty of running a kubernetes cluster, that I think most small-to-medium companies would probably skip and just run a managed solution.
Kubernetes has a steep learning curve, since you need to understand Operations top-to-bottom to start using it, but once you have it in your tool belt, it gives you endless power and flexibility when it comes to IT Operations.
