Looking for genuine AWS/DevOps coaching with placement assistance in Hyderabad

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some genuine advice from people who have experience with AWS/DevOps training institutes in Hyderabad.
I’m a B.Tech graduate and I’ve been trying to enter the IT industry. I have a 2+ year career gap, mainly because of personal/financial circumstances, but during this period I didn’t stay idle. I used the time to seriously upskill myself in AWS and DevOps.
I’ve worked on 10+ end-to-end hands-on projects covering areas like AWS, Linux, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Terraform, CI/CD, monitoring, automation and cloud infrastructure. I’ve also spent a lot of time doing practical labs and troubleshooting rather than just learning theory.
I’m confident in my technical skills and feel that I’m already job-ready for entry-level Cloud/DevOps roles. The biggest challenge I’m facing right now is getting past the career gap and getting enough interview opportunities.
Because of my financial situation, I wasn’t able to move to Hyderabad earlier. Now I’m planning to move to Hyderabad and focus completely on getting into the industry.
So I’m looking for a genuine AWS + DevOps coaching/training institute in Hyderabad that provides real placement assistance, especially for someone who already has the technical foundation and projects.
I’m NOT looking for a “100% job guarantee.” I’m specifically looking for an institute that can genuinely help with things like:
Resume/profile improvement for DevOps roles
Interview preparation and mock interviews
Connecting students with relevant openings
Referrals or interview opportunities where possible
Guidance for candidates with career gaps
Real-world DevOps projects and troubleshooting
Support until getting interviews/jobs
If you have personally attended an AWS/DevOps institute in Hyderabad and actually got interview opportunities or a job through their placement assistance, please share your experience.
I’m particularly interested in institutes around Ameerpet, Kukatpally, Madhapur or nearby areas.
Please mention the institute name, trainer (if you know them), approximate fees, your experience, and whether their placement assistance was actually useful.
I’m serious about making this career transition and willing to put in the work. I just need some genuine guidance on where to go.
Thanks in advance to everyone who shares an honest experience. 🙏

QA Engineer (9 YOE) Looking to Transition into DevOps — Need Guidance on Roadmap & Resources

Hi everyone,
I’m a QA Engineer in the gaming domain with around 9 years of experience, and I’m seriously considering transitioning into DevOps. I’d really appreciate some guidance from people who have made a similar transition or are currently working in DevOps.
Here’s where I currently stand:
I have 9 YOE in QA/testing, primarily in the gaming domain.
I have a good understanding of SDLC and STLC and how software moves through different stages from development to production.
I’ve been involved in the complete feature lifecycle — from initial specification/discussions, through development and testing, to production release.
I’ve used Jenkins for build creation and server deployments.
I use Git mainly for creating/raising PRs, but I haven’t worked extensively with Git commands and workflows such as push, pull, branching, rebasing, etc.
I’ve used Grafana for tracing application logs and investigating issues.
We use AWS SSM to log into different server boxes, tail server logs, modify server-side files/configs, etc.
I’ve recently started learning the basics of Python and Java.
I’m also fortunate to have a good relationship with our internal DevOps team and manager. I’m considering approaching them for an internal transition when I feel I’m ready.
I’m aware that my current skill set is far from what would typically be expected from a DevOps engineer, and I don’t want to underestimate the amount of learning required.
I’m 34 now, so I do sometimes feel like I’m starting this transition quite late. However, I genuinely want to make the move, and I’m willing to put in the time and effort.

  1. What I’m struggling with is where exactly to start and what order to learn things in.
    For someone coming from a QA background like mine:
  2. What would be a realistic DevOps learning roadmap?
  3. Which skills should I prioritize first — Linux, networking, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform, AWS, etc.?
  4. Are there any beginner-friendly courses/resources you would strongly recommend?
  5. How much programming/scripting should I learn, and should I focus on Python or Bash first?
  6. Given my existing experience with Jenkins, AWS SSM, deployments, logs, and the software release lifecycle, are there areas where I can leverage my QA experience?
  7. Would an internal transition into a DevOps team be a reasonable approach, even if I don’t yet meet all the requirements of a typical DevOps job?
    I’m not looking for shortcuts. I’d just really appreciate some practical guidance from people who have been through this journey.
    If you were in my position, what would you learn over the next 6–12 months, and in what order?
    Any roadmap, resources, project ideas, or personal experiences would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks in advance! 🙏

Joined as a Cloud/DevOps Engineer but my role completely changed

So I was placed as a cloud and devops engineer in a company.During intern for the first 1 month they gave me azure devops related task and told me to use GitHub actions etc just basic things I thought in the coming months they will give me various other task but soon in the month 2 they started giving task related to AI engineering,llm and rag and agentic application for other 2 months of internship.

Then they converted us for full time so I thought I will get to do devops or cloud related work automation, meanwhile I can upskill myself also but it was total opposite they just put us into an cybersecurity related project where we are doing pentesting and making an dast tool for Black box testing.I had no idea related to the cybersecurity field and they did not give us training in this field.Now they are telling us to work this internal project .

I have no time to gain knowledge on these cybersecurity tasks as they are telling us to work on this project and daily we should give an update on our work so because of this I am dependent on llm so much to complete my task and I have only a surface level knowledge of the implementation I am doing .

my team consists of 5 members where everyone is a recent graduate.My team lead is also from a different domain and there is also no clear path on what we are building etc.I thought I was only feeling this but when I asked my teammates they were also feeling the same way.

I am feeling very stressed on this as I have to complete my task for tmrw and work on that so I have no time to upskill myself in my favourite area.Sometimes I think I should quit my job and upskill myself and then apply to new jobs but the market is also so bad right now?

what should I do any suggestions would be helpful?

Looking for advice: Azure Admin to DevOps

I’m currently working as an Azure Infra Admin and planning to move into a DevOps role.

I’m thinking of working through AZ-104, Python, Linux, Networking, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and other DevOps tools. But honestly, I’m finding it a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what to focus on first and how to schedule everything.

Since I already have hands-on experience with Azure infrastructure and the Azure Portal, would you recommend going for the AZ-104 certification? Or should I focus more on deepening my practical Azure knowledge and spend more time on DevOps skills?

For anyone who has moved from Azure Admin/Infra into DevOps:

- How did you plan your learning?

- What skills/tools did you focus on first?

- What should I prioritize more: Azure, Linux, Python, Terraform, Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, etc.?

- Is AZ-104 worth doing when you already have Azure Admin experience?

Would really appreciate any suggestions from people who have made a similar transition.

Is it still a good field to get into? If yes, what should I learn first, and which courses/resources would you recommend?

If you were starting from zero today, what roadmap would you follow?

I couldn't find production-style EC2 interview questions, so I created my own

This is one of the most common interview questions:

>

Most people answer:

>

In reality, interviewers usually want to understand how you troubleshoot, not whether you know a single command.

That's what inspired me to create a production-focused EC2 interview handbook.

Every question includes:

  • Production scenario
  • Interview answer
  • AWS CLI
  • Terraform
  • Best practices
  • Follow-up questions

I've published the first article today and open-sourced the full 20-question handbook on GitHub.

I'd appreciate any feedback from people who've interviewed AWS engineers or recently gone through AWS interviews.

What’s the one DevOps skill you wish you had learned much earlier?

For people who have been working in DevOps/cloud for a while, what’s one skill or concept you wish you had learned earlier?

Could be something technical like Linux, networking, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, or something less obvious like documentation, debugging, or communication.

And if you had to start learning DevOps again from zero today, what would you focus on first?

Curious to see what experienced people here recommend.

Access to cluster as a non Devops - willing to pivot into a DevSecOps role.

I am an position of a non-tech, but part of a tech team. For my daily work, i also need read access to staging cluster and have write access to testing environments also because i need it for work. That said, i have never been a Devops myself, i was a systems admin, i have solid networking foundations, and very very little experience in scripting. I do know how CI/CD work, how git works to a certain level and i can enter inside a container, see whats inside it, get pods, etc.

I have done bootcamps in the past - they didnt help. So now that i have real access to tech, i thought that my time has come to try and learn more about k8s.

My managers and teamates are extremely busy working on stuff and i dont want to bother them to spend time to babysit me.

I would like to find ways to ramp up my skills and become a real element in my team, by proving knowledge and propose initiatives that help.

Are there any public sources (not just AI) where i could learn and really become good? What would you recommend in general?

Many thanks!
