Hello,

I'm MBA Proffessional and have 5 years of experience in Finance Domain, now i'm planning to switch my career into IT, for that i'm planning to learn AWS and Devops as per my research in Google. what are the basic requirements/skills to learn these cources and how good is my decision to switch my career from Operations to IT.. I'd like to get some prompt comments here from real time experienced proffessionals.

 

Thanks,

As they say "Grass on the oter side is always Green". My advise to you would be, if you are good at Finance, you should stick to Finance and grow in same domain. Managers and upper level are also highly paid jobs in India and abroad in Finance domain.

However, if you have made up your mind to move to DevOps which is also high paying job, You will need basic knowledge on 3 things :

1.  Any OS (Linux or Windows Systems administration) - This will help you to know how to connect remotely, manage hardware and resources on Cloud.

2. AWS or Azure or GCP knowledge will certainly help you to understand how to deploy codes on Cloud platform and then do monitoring and testing

3. Basics of Networking will help you to troubleshoot your application and issues

In DevOps you will learn automation, Scripting, Monitoring (Nagios), Automatic Deployment of codes (using Chef/Puppet) etc (Configuration Management), Python etc. 

Happy Learning and wish you good Luck ! 

(production/application support analyst ) is that good for a non-coding person? bcz didn't have coding knowledge and I don't want to learn. please, anybody, suggest to me is that good or not for the future IN the USA? what about communication skills for that kind of role? what kind of certifications did we need? who does gna teach?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

 

For any Production support/Analysis, Coding is not required at all. So relax ! In future, this experience will help you get a similar job in US but the Culture is completely different in US. You can get any other job too in IT or Non IT regardless of your experience. 

If you intend to move to US, you MUST have excellent Communcation Skills and little leadership qualities, I suggest. First thing first, Improve your communication skills while on the job and then Check your Skills by appearing in IELTS kind of exam.

Its like "Grass on the other side is always green". If you are good at Finance, I would receommend to stick to Finance domain. However, if you have made up your mind, while it is also true that most of the IT guys are highly paid than any support department, AWS and Devops is a good choice.

I would strongly suggest thayou you should have basic knowledge on multiple things like:

1. Linux and Windows Systems administration (this will cover most of the topics for setting up AWS system)

2. Networking (LAN, WAN, Routing, etc)

3. Basics of Security

4. DevOps will be the next step after completion of above Course including AWS.

Hope that answers your query. Wish you good luck for your career
