Three Months In, Six More to Go! I'm thrilled to announce that I have reached the three-month mark of my nine-month internship as a DevOps Engineer (Intern) at Remita, and the journey thus far has been incredibly exciting. What have I learned? I've delved into the fundamentals of the Linux operating system, explored the ins and outs of Docker, grappled with the intricacies of the DevOps Ecosystem, and dived into hands-on work with Ansible and AWS. Setting up CI/CD pipelines and witnessing them in action (after a few retries, of course) has been the highlight of my technical development. Achievements so far: I've gained an understanding of the role and responsibilities of a DevOps Engineer, familiarized myself with essential tools used by DevOps Engineers such as Linux, Docker, AWS, Ansible, Gitlab-CI, and Kubernetes, and grasped the basics of networking including IP addressing, the TCP/IP model, and DNS (Domain Name System). I've also comprehended the rationale, necessity, and execution of optimized system scalability. Looking ahead: There's still so much more to learn. I'm more passionate than ever about solving DevOps challenges—and savoring a cup of coffee while doing so. Here's to further growth, fewer errors, and hopefully fewer kubectl typos in the next six months! Big thanks to: A huge shoutout to the incredible mentors—the Remita DevOps team—for their unwavering support. They've not only taught me the technical aspects but also demonstrated problem-solving, collaboration, and the importance of asking "What is the root cause?" Feel free to connect with me! #DevOps #Internship #3MonthsIn #TechJourney #FirstTimeDevOps

Hey everyone! I’ve been a bit quiet lately, juggling my internship and academics, but I had to share something that truly made my day. Recently, I opened up my Docker setup after a while and found myself a bit stuck. 😅 But then, I remembered something crucial—my documentation! It's been 5 months since I dived deep into Docker, Jenkins, and DevOps, and let me tell you, taking the time to document every step has been a game-changer. When I opened my notes, everything clicked back into place, and I could easily track my progress and understand all the work I’ve done. And let’s not forget AWS—an essential service that makes life so much easier when working on complex projects. If there’s one tip I’d give to anyone working on long-term projects: Document everything! It may seem tedious at first, but trust me, it pays off big time. It’s like a guidebook for your future self. So, if you haven’t started documenting your work yet, now’s the time. Your future self will thank you! #DevOps #Docker #Jenkins #AWS #Documentation #TechTips #Internship #ProjectManagement

During my internship, I’ve come to a striking realization: DevOps is a relentless exercise in problem-solving, debugging, and adaptation. The meme perfectly sums up the situation when you discover that your beautifully crafted Docker containers, which worked flawlessly in the development environment, suddenly decide to rebel in production 😂. The truth is, the transition from development to production is rarely seamless. Environments are different – configurations change, network behaviors shift, and what works perfectly in dev can crash and burn in prod. As a result, DevOps isn’t just about automation and pipelines; it’s about being prepared for the unexpected and having the skills to troubleshoot on the fly. As I continue on this journey, I’m embracing the challenges because they’re what make the successes all the more rewarding. 💪 #DevOps #ProblemSolving #InternshipExperience #Internship #Debugging #CI #CD #Docker #aws
