My current number of followers on Github is increasing more and more and this makes me encouraged to continue studying and programming. Several of these people asked me for permission to use some of my code in both their personal and commercial projects and many added me on LinkedIn.

I have also received proposals from foreign companies after recruiters got in touch and stated that they evaluated me based on my performance on Github and the source codes that caught their attention there. This makes a big difference and encourages me to continue with the activities!

I just don't know how to explain properly why I'm still unemployed since the end of the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, but I believe that my age is the reason, considering that this is extremely obvious in Brazil, a country that doesn't value anyone who has passed the age of 40 years. But, I won't give up and I will continue studying and programming until victory.

My current number of followers on Github and counting.

A few days ago, I was following the event [Iniciativa DevOps](https://iniciativadevops.com.br/), promoted by KubeDev and taught by [Fabricio Veronez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabricioveronez) , from [Formação DevOps Pro](https://www.linkedin.com/company/devopspro/). The event, according to the description on the official website, was "an immersion of content with the aim of showing the developer a practical method to stand out in the market as a DevOps specialist and conquer one of the most desired and well-paid profiles". Nothing more true. Currently, DevOps is on the rise and there is no shortage of jobs.

**What was presented and taught at the event:**

1. What is DevOps and how it works;
2. Opportunities that revolve around Devops;
3. What they are and how to work with containers;
4. How to use Docker and Kubernetes;
5. Automate processes using CI/CD pipelines;
6. How to gain agility and simplicity in projects with Terraform;
7. Monitor your application in a practical and simple way with a visualization dashboard (Grafana and Prometheus);
8. Devops specialist training trail.

During the event, challenges were proposed at the end of each class. Each challenge delivered guaranteed the right to receive a badge. I received the badges of the 5 proposed challenges.

**But, what is DevOps?**

According to Amazon Web Services (AWS), DevOps "is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that enhance a company's ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity, optimizing and improving products at a faster pace than companies that use traditional software development and infrastructure management processes". That speed, it says, "allows companies to serve their customers better and compete more effectively in the marketplace." There is more and more detailed information on the subject at the following address: [DevOps Model Defined](https://aws.amazon.com/devops/what-is-devops/).

As I've been saying, many free online events are taking place monthly to promote professional courses or training Full Stack/DevOps developers. I also repeat that they are a good opportunity to see what technologies companies are currently expecting their candidates to know, in addition to being a great opportunity to network and, of course, expand their own knowledge. It always occurs to offer discounts and other advantages for those interested. Therefore, keep an eye on these current events and courses so as not to be left behind in the job market.


I won 5 badges by delivering the challenges of an online training, the Iniciativa DevOps.

During the free online event on Microservices promoted by **EBAC - Escola Britânica de Artes Criativas e Tecnologia (EBAC - British School of Creative Arts and Technology)**, the instructor **Guilherme Dalleprane** - by the way, owner of an excellent didactics - launched a challenge for those who were honoring the three class days. The next day, he made a live correction of the challenges that were delivered properly resolved. I was surprised when it was my turn. You can watch the video below. You can watch it in full screen.

In times of the COVID-19 pandemic, many free online events are taking place monthly to promote professional courses or training Full Stack/DevOps developers. It's a good opportunity to see what technologies companies are currently expecting from their candidates. In addition, it is also a great opportunity to network and, of course, expand your own knowledge. At the end of each event, discounts and other advantages are offered to those interested. One tip I give is to keep an eye on these events. I'm serious: they are so worth it.


During the instructor's live correction of a microservices challenge, I didn't expect to be praised.
