I’m based in the UK and on an apprenticeship programme at work. After completing a general IT technician course at level 3 I’m moving onto a level 4 course. It looks like my choices are going to be devops or network engineering. I know a little about networks but I know nothing about devops. My question is, which is likely to give me more career opportunities?
What happens when you migrate from Jenkins? I’m currently in a multi year platform build using gitops and it is not mature and nothing fits together out of the box.
Just my experience.
As tools mature they will integrate easier but at the bleeding edge it still takes work. (Just trying to justify my existence I guess)
I personally don’t like the idea of migrating off Jenkins, we blew our yearly budget testing our build platform in git. But it’s all just platformed ci/CD, which is why I’m recommending the other path. Platform teams lost the goal recently.
