Use your skills to your advantage. In an interview, don't settle for crappy coding challenges. Ask the company what version of linux they're running in their docker containers (and when it was updated/patched) If they can't even tell you, prove value by telling them why (security, perf) and how (either newer canonical images or custom) My point here is the game hasn't really changed, it's just gotten wrapped in two more layers of abstraction. My learning advice: - Skip python, unless you want to become a coder or get into data science - Learn how to launch a basic app using docker (think of a dockerfile like a shell script) - Learn the 4 basic things you need to launch a basic app on kube (pod, deployment, service, ingress)

Thanks!

What's tricky is combining what you've learned at home with what you didn't do in production at work. In finance, most places are only beginning to use cloud services and barely tickling Docker (at least unless you are in cutting edge groups). And yet hiring managers want to see 5 years of experience in AWS, Docker...

It's not an issue to learn it, I already have started.
