I haven’t been blogging much, I’ve been busy learning.

I got a subscription to Linux Academy and for the past month, I’ve been immersed in retooling for a skill switch into DevOps. I’ve been using Linux for years, but my goal is not to have a cursory understanding of the OS, but to be as comfortable in it as I am in Windows. I’ve gotten a few successful completions on a few courses on Linux Academy under my belt. I’m currently in the Linux, Cloud, and Ruby Coding learning path which consists of:

• Linux Essentials Certification (done)
• CompTIA Cloud Essentials Certification (in progress)
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate
• OpenStack Essentials
• Nginx And The LEMP Stack
• Introduction To Ruby Programming Language On Linux

I’ll sit for the LPI Linux Essentials exam this month and move on to the AWS Certified Solutions Architect-Associate exam after that.

In the meantime, I’m writing 2 blog series that will highlight some of the tools, commands, packages that I come across in my studies. Today’s 10 will highlight 10 commands, tips, tricks, etc. The other, Fab 5 will cover 5 quick hitters about Linux.

Stay tuned for more posts about my DevOps journey.
