My path to DevOps. Why did I choose DevOps as a career?

My journey into the world of DevOps began with leaving my comfort zone, uncertainty, fears, and big changes.

Between 2010 and 2021, I worked for a big television company.

The company worked with most of the major TV channels in the world, and my task was to install our systems, train people, and provide technical support. I have traveled all over the world, made many friends, and made incredible memories.

I felt confident and calm those days.

Managers trusted me. Colleagues asked for my advice. Clients requested me at their sites for system installation and maintenance.

On the other hand, I felt that I was not developing myself at all. I had no need to learn any new technologies or ask any questions. I felt that the whole industry was flying forward at the speed of light, leaving me behind.

The worst thing was that I felt a lack of desire to develop.

And then the management began to close one project after another.
