Dreams Are Messages From the Deep
And follow the messages, we should.
Imagine waking up one day after dreaming that you’ve architected, deployed, and streamlined the infrastructure that your platform uses. Thus, I set out to learn:
Networking
Virtualisation
Operating Systems
Databases
This will allow me to establish the foundations for my projects and test some of my solutions. Once I have experience with their products, I will also consider AWS and GCP certification. Since AWS is very inexpensive at low volumes and seems to be the most flexible, it’s likely to be the first.
I aim to become a certified cloud practitioner with either AWS or GCP by the end of June 2025. I will also collaborate on at least one open-source project and be considered for a junior cloud engineer role, where I can further expand my skills.
The final goal is to deploy and manage a small cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible by the end of March 2026.
Let’s see how well I can adhere to those timelines and accomplish my goals. This is where it gets fun!
