CKAD? No, it's a deep dive course on educative. I wondering if $400 is worth it for the certification
Nice, I think I should be able to add it in my resume within this week then
But I don't have professional experience using k8s, so a certification might substitute for it in the meanwhile, atleast to pass resume screens. Once I get a job I don't think it matters too much, anything can be learnt on the job.
True, how about Terraform certification then. I might as well go for AWS certification.
I just want something to set my resume apart
I'm Java wizard 😎
True true, AWS makes most sense rn, I am pretty good with it already so it shouldn't take too long to study. Plus I'm weak in networking concepts so studying for cert should cover that as well.
Yeah, It's mostly Java + AWS or C# with Azure. Only random startups are using Python or Rust in production rn
Yeah, but if I'm optimizing for Java + AWS, python gets sidetracked for those kind of roles. It will mostly be some PySpark or Databricks notebook on Java + AWS infra.
But anyway, good discussion. You're right that I should get AWS certification first.
It's required for roles where you are building Platforms or Cloud Control Panes, which is pretty common these days
Usually a combinatioin of Terraform + K8s + Java + Multi Cloud
I mean I know Python, but mostly for Data Science stuff.. can't pivot into Python web development now!
I ran into quite a few jobs like that, even interviewed for one.. my previous job was along the same lines as well.
Nice
Do you have custom deployment or use a managed service?
Sounds true to most extent, exception might be cases like multi cloud deployments. For most small-med scale orgs, it's always better to use managed services than implement anything like this themselves.
At my last job, whenever someone pitched implementing something very complex my manager used to retort we are a Analytics company, not a cloud, networking, or hardward shop. Let's not solve solved problems!
I get your pain.
I think point is, just like most things, it's very use case, team and company dependent, might not be ideal to use it just because we can.
But good to know that I should avoid it if it's ever in my hand in the future
