A subset of the Cloud Native landscape in December 2023 (click for the full landscape)
The DevOps Engineer role remains one of the top 10 most in-demand jobs across all industries (not just the tech field!). However, starting that role is super challenging because the DevOps model has various patterns and topologies. Also, the Cloud Native landscape keeps expanding, and there is something new every day!
Simply, you cannot start a DevOps position by merely learning the tools! It's even more complicated if that's your first job without previous software industry experience (coming from either Dev or Ops).
For that reason, almost every day, I see people struggling on their way to start as fresh/junior DevOps engineers or even progress in their early career years in general. They usually follow some linear roadmap like roadmap.sh/devops. But still, they cannot land their first job or straggle a lot when they find one! And sadly, many of them eventually give up!
For more details about the problem aspects, please read: Your DevOps learning roadmap is broken!.
Based on experience for years mentoring people in different stages (starting their first job, career shift, moving to another work style or company), using a dynamic MVP-style roadmap with hands-on projects designed by an experienced DevOps engineer has been highly successful.
That means first, understand the problem instead of just learning a bunch of tools then using iterative style, each iteration will cover most DevOps areas used in the job to build a T-shaped skills profile from day one! It's also essential to set the targeted market and organizations because, with different DevOps topologies, the DevOps engineer role requirements vary a lot.
This roadmap is polymorphic, which means it's designed to work in different modes. It depends on how fast you want to go.
This mode is the default and is available for everyone in this repo. In this mode, you are not expected to have DevOps experience, and you want to go from zero to hero, transforming your knowledge to land your first job as a DevOps Engineer.
You just need to follow the roadmap in modules which defines the areas you should know as a DevOps Engineer, and provide you all resources to learn about them. In this mode, you manage all your learning plans by yourself, and we highly recommend asking a Senior DevOps Engineer (a friend or someone from the community) to review your plans and progress.

In this mode, you already have some experience with DevOps (usually between 1-2 years of work experience), but you want to step up your skills with a real hands-on industry-grad project to learn DevOps in a pragmatic manner. This mode is also available to everyone in this repo.
The project follows Learning by Doing method (aka Problem-based Learning) which is done in iterative phases where you learn as you go and cover the whole DevOps cycle like Code, Containers, Testing, Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Observability, and Infrastructure.

Note
Each phase of this project is tackled gradually, part of the roadmap modules. But it's also standalone, and you can work on it if you have the required knowledge for each phase.
This mode covers the previous two modes (that means it could be only for the project or the whole roadmap) but with support from a mentor! DevOps Hive will provide you with a DevOps expert who will guide you in following up on your progress and personalizing your learning plan.
A plus point in the mentorship is that you will get access to the roadmap board to utilize Agile methodologies like Epics and Kanban board to implement the plan, incorporating real-world scenarios and best practices, which you will use in a real job when working in an Agile environment.
