How do you stay updated on the latest developments in the DevOps space?

DevOps space is a rapidly evolving space, so keeping pace with evolving tools, techniques and processes is always a challenging task. But, I am an avid book reader and keep looking at new books, pdfs for continuous learning in this space. But DevOps space is so fast evolving that only books cannot help you with the latest development. So, apart from books, I use few more channels:

• One of my most preferred ways is to experiment with new DevOps tools and technologies. Hands-on experience is one of the best ways to understand and stay current with the latest developments.

• Subscribe to and regularly check blogs and websites dedicated to DevOps. Some popular ones include Medium, Dzone and DevOps.com which help in finding very good blogs and contents on the latest update on DevOps.

• Follow GitHub Repositories: Keep an eye on GitHub repositories for popular DevOps tools and projects. Following these repositories allows you to stay updated on the latest releases, issues, and contributions.

• Participate in forums and communities such as Stack Overflow, and various LinkedIn groups. Engaging in discussions with other professionals can provide insights into current trends and challenges.

• One of the most preferred ways apart from books? to attend DevOps conferences, webinars, and local meetups. Events like DockerCon, DevOpsDays , Platformcon are excellent opportunities to learn about the latest tools, practices, and case studies.

• I follow DevOps thought leaders, practitioners, and relevant organizations on platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn. Many experts share valuable insights, articles, and updates through social media channels

• Podcasts and Webinars: Listen to DevOps podcasts and participate in webinars. Podcasts like "The DevOps Handbook Podcast" and "Arrested DevOps" often feature discussions with industry leaders.

• Online Learning Platforms: Utilize online learning platforms such as Udemy, Oreilly, which often offer courses and tutorials on the latest DevOps practices and tools

• Learning with the team: Learning from other team members
