Learning OpenShift vs Traditional K8s?

Hello. I recently saved up for a RHLS since I'd love to work with Linux or something Linux based. Really enjoyed taking the OpenShift classes and I'm taking the EX188 in a few days then EX280 soon after (wish me luck.)

However, I'm now hearing that it would have been better to learn basic K8s first since OpenShift just adds on to K8s. Would it have been better to go for the CKA/CKAD exams instead?

Trino on AWS EKS with IAM/IRSA - A Walkthough

Check out this blogpost I wrote to demonstrate setting up a Trino cluster with Hive Standalone Metastore in AWS EKS, to query data files in S3 using IAM/IRSA based authentication, from scratch using Terraform (or OpenTofu) and Helm.

This is my first proper attempt at technical writing, and is mostly based on what I have learned and the problems I have solved, through the course of my work. 

Comments and criticism are welcome. If you have any follow up questions, or spot any mistakes, or any improvements, you can also reach out to me (or comment here), I would do my best to answer and address them.

VS Code often loses docker connection

I enjoy using Docker in VS because the GUI is pretty easy for me to understand. I can see Containers listed in VS, and then open up my code files from the Container drop down. So that when I make code changes and save the code, these code changes are reflected in the Docker container. I don't have to run like a copy or build command in Terminal.

The annoying part is sometimes VS seemingly loses this Docker connection. For example today I woke up and made a code change and tried to save my file. Got an error, it can't save the file. And then when I try to open the file through the Containers dropdown, Files is just stuck on a spinning wheel and doesn't actually show the files.

When this has happened in the past I have usually just bumbled around, deleted my current connection, made a new key, connected with that key, etc, and then hoped that it would randomly work (which it sometimes did after fumbling around for 30 mins). But obviously this is a huge impediment to my software dev work so I am looking for solutions, thanks.

Need guidance to break into DevOps from swe

Not getting 2nd callback ms due to lack of proper DevOps experience.

Hi guys, I'm a software engineer with almost 3 yoe. I'm a Java dev mostly. I've recently done some Jenkins work in my team. My project doesn't have any DevOps components. No docker. No k8s. No cloud.
But in aws certified solutions architect associate. I'm interested in DevOps and Automation and want to move to such a role.

But I'm facing challenges in getting calls from recruiters. I'm not getting past screening rounds.

I got 1 interview but midway he realised I'm not a DevOps guy and haven't done k8s work so interview terminated.

Right now I'm going through my udemy course to learn more k8s and at least add 1 deployment on my cv.

What should I do in my situation? It's been more than 3 months I'm trying for switch.

Thank you
