I have a Cloud Operations automation consulting company called Cloudopia. Recently, I started Bootcamp DevOps to offer training to SysAdmins who lack some of the core skills required for today's challenging DevOps Job descriptions. Idea is to use the collective wisdom of the consultants at Cloudopia to create curriculum using projects that integrate multiple tools / skills - as opposed to taking a bunch of 3-day single skill classes and then trying to put it all together. In order to validate my business hypotheses, I want to speak to real Sys Admins with 2+ years experience who at least somewhat identify with the following statements: - DevOps may or may not be anything new but its having a real impact on the job market - both Job Descriptions and Resumes are adapting to this phenomenon - DevOps positions *seem* to pay more than traditional Sys Admin or Operations positions - Transition from SysAdmin / Operations to DevOps requires, amongst other things, learning some new skills and augmenting some old ones. - You consider yourself a strong SysAdmin but sometimes feel left out of the DevOps Opportunities I would need about 30mins of your time, may be less may be more on how the conversation goes. I will figure out some way to thank you - perhaps ship you a free T-Shirt or a discount on a future training class !! Thanks in advance.
