I hope this information will be useful for some of you. Additionally if u send me tasks I did not faced with points assigned to them I will update this post to have complete list.

Are you now solving devops architect level tasks currently?

andrzej · June 3, 2020, 8:14pm

No no, according to @mmumshad we have to wait to 100k until architect role will be implemented.

mukeshfulewale · June 13, 2020, 5:43pm

Hi @andrzej:
How many tasks or points are required to move to next level like from Sysadmin to DevOps Engineer. Is this information mentioned anywhere by Mumshad? Or if you know it, can you please tell me this structure?

Thanks in advance!

andrzej · June 13, 2020, 6:18pm

You have to achieve 25k to get promotion to DevOps

Joseeden · June 27, 2020, 11:07pm

I am following this thread, I just recently began in KKE. I like how the current existing tasks are listed here. I’m relatively new to Linux; I only started last February and I have not really used it much at work. Hoping to learn more here. I’m still at my 3rd task by the way; definitely a long to go but I’m aiming at that 25K to progress and elarn more about devops’ activities.

This is very interesting, I didn’t get all of the sysadmin tasks although got many repeated ones.
Now I’ve moved to the devops, not sure if they will be assigned to me later or not.
But thanks for sharing, I’ll review and if I find any I’ll update you.

Hi @andrzej
As an experienced DevOps Engineer and top in the leader board, what do you think about the tasks we are getting?Is it similar to what you get when you work as System Admin/DevOps Engineer in real world.I am looking for a career change into DevOps.I have completed 30 tasks as a system admin yet.Also wondering can I show this experience in my resume, working as System Admin/DevOps Engineer remotely for KodeKloud?Your guidance is much appreciated.Thanks and looking forward to hear from you.

Kind Regards
Nidhin

Hello @nidhincn !
Task you are getting in real world are much more complex but those you are getting here give you baseline on which you can develop further. Knowing how ansible and puppet works and being familiar with few modules will help you to start and create more advanced playbooks or manifests. You kind of familiarize yourself with bricks which you can later use to build a house.
Additionally we have to remember that this is only beginning and more advanced tasks will come.
I would add this for sure for resume as this is kind of prove that you have certain skills which are verified by independent engine.

nidhincn · July 13, 2020, 3:11pm

Thanks @andrzej for your reply.This is definitely good stuff and keeps me motivated in my journey to become a DevOps person.

Kind Regards
Nidhin
