Develop small projects: e.g. deploy a web application using Docker,
implement continuous integration and deployment pipeline, manage infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible etc.)
Use free versions of AWS/GCP/Azure or cloud labs
Do open source or personal labs
Master key tools
Container tools (Docker)
Orchestration (Kubernetes)
CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions etc.)
Monitoring & logging (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack etc.)
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation etc.)
Cloud platforms (one or more of AWS, Azure, GCP)
Certifications can be beneficial (though by themselves insufficient)
AWS/Azure/GCP certifications for foundational / Associate levels
Kubernetes certifications

DevOps / CI/CD / Automation credentials
Soft skills: Teamwork (DevOps involves working across development, operations, often security), attitude for learning, pressure problem solving.
Verdict: Is it a good fit for you as a fresher in 2025?
Yes — if you:
Are ready to invest the time to learn an eclectic mix of tools & type of cross-disciplinary work (development + operations)
Like infrastructure, automation, cloud, system optimization, guaranteeing reliability etc.
Don't mind working sometimes under stress (incident resolutions, reliability, etc.)
Can develop good hands-on experience or projects to demonstrate that you can do the work
It may not be the best option if:
Like very concentrated dev work (pure software development), or design/user-interfaces etc.
Don't have time to learn system-side things like monitoring, infrastructure, configuration etc.
Want to get high compensation very quickly without spending time in non-coding / ops-related domains
