Welcome to My DevOps Journey!

Hey there! I’m Alfonso, a passionate DevOps Engineer hailing from the beautiful city of Salerno, Italy.
I started this blog as a way to document my own journey in the DevOps world. It’s a field that’s constantly evolving, and I find myself learning something new every day. By sharing my experiences - both the successes and the struggles - I hope to connect with others who are on a similar path.
I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I’m excited to explore, learn, and grow alongside you. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, I hope you’ll find something valuable here. Feel free to reach out, share your thoughts, or just say hello.
After all, the best part of this journey is the community we build along the way.

It’s a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.
