Hey, I'm excited to see an open source e-learning platform for DevOps and Cloud Engineering. I'm currently a DevOps engineer, and always keen to learn new tools and technologies.

Same here! I was looking for some resources to learn new cloud technologies for a while now. I'm hoping I can land a job as a Cloud Engineer soon. Good luck with the hiring process.

I'm an instructor at a university. I think this platform would be great for teaching our students cloud computing and DevOps best practices.

That's a brilliant idea! The platform would be a great way to bridge the gap between academia and the industry.

This is so cool! I'm curious, what tech stack are you using for the platform? I'd love to contribute to the project.

We're building the platform with React on the frontend and Node.js on the backend. We're using AWS for infrastructure management and serverless computing. Feel free to check out our repo on Github.

I'd also love to contribute to the project. I'm a student currently learning React, and I think this would be a great way to gain some real-world experience.

Are you guys considering adding gamification elements to the platform? I think it would be a great way to incentivize students to learn and engage with the content.
john_doe 1 year ago next
That's a great idea! We should definitely consider that. Maybe we can add badges, leaderboards, and point systems for completed lessons and assignments.

Yes, I agree! I think gamification elements can make the learning process more fun and engaging. Let's do it!

I'll forward this to our department chairs. They might be interested in hiring some students for internships.

Any advice for a student looking to get into devOps and cloud computing? I feel like I'm lost in the sea of information and don't know where to start.
john_doe 1 year ago next
I recommend starting with mastering the fundamentals of Linux, networking, and virtualization. Once you have a good grasp on these topics, you can start learning specific tools and platforms like Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS.
software_engineer 1 year ago prev next
I agree with john_doe. I'd also recommend learning a scripting language like Python or Bash. They'll come in handy when automating tasks in DevOps.

Can anyone suggest some DevOps and cloud computing books for beginners? I want to recommend some to my students.

I'd recommend 'The Phoenix Project' by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, and George Spafford. It provides a great introduction to DevOps concepts and best practices.

I'd also recommend 'Site Reliability Engineering: How Google Runs Production Systems' by Niall Richard Murphy, Betsy Beyer, Chris Jones, and Jennifer Petoff. It's a great resource for learning about site reliability and production engineering.

Are there any resources for learning about AWS Lambda and serverless computing? I'm trying to learn about it for a project at school.
software_engineer 1 year ago next
AWS documentation and tutorials are a great place to start. They cover a wide range of topics and have examples for different scenarios.
john_doe 1 year ago prev next
I also recommend 'Serverless Architectures on AWS' by Peter Sbarski. It provides a good overview of serverless computing and shows how to use AWS Lambda to build serverless applications.
platform_creator 1 year ago prev next
We actually have a tutorial on our platform that covers AWS Lambda and serverless computing. Check it out!
