Hello girls and boys. How's it going? So, you've probably hit upon this video
So, you've probably hit upon this video
So, you've probably hit upon this video and you're thinking, "Hey, I will learn
and you're thinking, "Hey, I will learn
and you're thinking, "Hey, I will learn something new in this video." You know
something new in this video." You know
something new in this video." You know what? Let me tell you something
what? Let me tell you something
what? Let me tell you something upstraight. You will not become a better
upstraight. You will not become a better
upstraight. You will not become a better software engineer, better DevOps
software engineer, better DevOps
software engineer, better DevOps engineer, better SR just by watching
engineer, better SR just by watching

about learning which I am promising you
about learning which I am promising you will hit you hard. And then finally I
will hit you hard. And then finally I
will hit you hard. And then finally I will leave you with a learning plan.

So what is the illusion of learning? I
So what is the illusion of learning? I read a statement a while back which had
read a statement a while back which had
read a statement a while back which had a very deep impact on me. It said most
a very deep impact on me. It said most

watching to doing. So what do the top 1%
watching to doing. So what do the top 1% engineers do differently? They have a
engineers do differently? They have a
engineers do differently? They have a very different approach to learning. The
very different approach to learning. The
very different approach to learning. The approach to learning isn't hey I want to
approach to learning isn't hey I want to
approach to learning isn't hey I want to learn infrastructure as code. So what is
learn infrastructure as code. So what is
learn infrastructure as code. So what is the top tool out there? Let's say it is
the top tool out there? Let's say it is
the top tool out there? Let's say it is terapform. So let me pick up a course on
terapform. So let me pick up a course on
terapform. So let me pick up a course on terapform. Let me watch 10 videos on
terapform. Let me watch 10 videos on
terapform. Let me watch 10 videos on teraphform. And as I'm doing this course
teraphform. And as I'm doing this course
teraphform. And as I'm doing this course as I'm watching that video let me do
as I'm watching that video let me do
as I'm watching that video let me do what that instructor is doing. let me
what that instructor is doing. let me
what that instructor is doing. let me replicate that on my machine. That is
replicate that on my machine. That is
replicate that on my machine. That is how you and me and most of us learn. The
how you and me and most of us learn. The
how you and me and most of us learn. The top 1% learn completely differently. How
top 1% learn completely differently. How
top 1% learn completely differently. How would they do it? They would say, "All
would they do it? They would say, "All
would they do it? They would say, "All right, I have to learn infrastructure as
right, I have to learn infrastructure as
right, I have to learn infrastructure as code." What the heck is infrastructure
code." What the heck is infrastructure

as code? Let me go to chat GPT ask it
as code? Let me go to chat GPT ask it what is infrastructure as code? Let me
what is infrastructure as code? Let me
what is infrastructure as code? Let me do some Google around what the heck is
do some Google around what the heck is
do some Google around what the heck is infrastructure as code. Okay, it means
infrastructure as code. Okay, it means
infrastructure as code. Okay, it means that I have to create infrastructure
that I have to create infrastructure
that I have to create infrastructure resources everything through code. Fair
resources everything through code. Fair
resources everything through code. Fair enough. What are the tools to do this?

What's the difference in Terraform
What's the difference in Terraform versus Palumi versus this versus that?
versus Palumi versus this versus that?
versus Palumi versus this versus that? Let's make a chart. Let's make a
Let's make a chart. Let's make a
Let's make a chart. Let's make a comparison. Where is which one used?

comparison. Where is which one used? Okay, understood. So, Terapform is
Okay, understood. So, Terapform is
Okay, understood. So, Terapform is arguably cloud neutral. Okay, good. Now
arguably cloud neutral. Okay, good. Now
arguably cloud neutral. Okay, good. Now I know AWS. Let me see how to use
I know AWS. Let me see how to use
I know AWS. Let me see how to use Terraform with AWS. Okay, what's the
Terraform with AWS. Okay, what's the
Terraform with AWS. Okay, what's the simplest thing I can do with AWS? I can
simplest thing I can do with AWS? I can
simplest thing I can do with AWS? I can create an EC2 instance on AWS. I can go
create an EC2 instance on AWS. I can go
create an EC2 instance on AWS. I can go to the console, create an instance.
to the console, create an instance.
to the console, create an instance. Perfect. Let me try doing this through
Perfect. Let me try doing this through
Perfect. Let me try doing this through Terraform. Okay, how do we do this
Terraform. Okay, how do we do this
Terraform. Okay, how do we do this Google stuff? How not going to chat GPT
Google stuff? How not going to chat GPT
Google stuff? How not going to chat GPT and saying do me this and then you know
and saying do me this and then you know
and saying do me this and then you know copy paste that code and work. No, no,
copy paste that code and work. No, no,
copy paste that code and work. No, no, no. Chad GPT is a strict no to this kind
no. Chad GPT is a strict no to this kind
no. Chad GPT is a strict no to this kind of learning. You can ask it to say I'll
of learning. You can ask it to say I'll
of learning. You can ask it to say I'll tell you later how to do that. So Google
tell you later how to do that. So Google
tell you later how to do that. So Google how to create an EC2 through Terapform.
how to create an EC2 through Terapform.
how to create an EC2 through Terapform. Read about four five things. The good
Read about four five things. The good
Read about four five things. The good part about Googling is you will not get

solution. In that process, you will
solution. In that process, you will learn. So you created a machine on EC2
learn. So you created a machine on EC2
learn. So you created a machine on EC2 using Teraphform. Fantastic. What's the
using Teraphform. Fantastic. What's the
using Teraphform. Fantastic. What's the next thing I can do? Hey, let me create
next thing I can do? Hey, let me create
next thing I can do? Hey, let me create a small VPC. Let me add some resources
a small VPC. Let me add some resources
a small VPC. Let me add some resources in that. Then let me add some networking
in that. Then let me add some networking

some brutal truths about learning. Number one, you don't need 100 resources
Number one, you don't need 100 resources
Number one, you don't need 100 resources to learn. You need just one good
to learn. You need just one good

or two good YouTube videos, one or two
or two good YouTube videos, one or two good courses. What you need is 10x
good courses. What you need is 10x
good courses. What you need is 10x execution. The quality of the course,
execution. The quality of the course,
execution. The quality of the course, the quality of the YouTube video from
the quality of the YouTube video from
the quality of the YouTube video from which you're learning is not as
which you're learning is not as
which you're learning is not as importance as your execution. Remember
importance as your execution. Remember
importance as your execution. Remember that. Number two, you don't need a road
that. Number two, you don't need a road
that. Number two, you don't need a road map. You need a habit to work daily. A
map. You need a habit to work daily. A
map. You need a habit to work daily. A lot of people ask me, I want to learn
lot of people ask me, I want to learn
lot of people ask me, I want to learn this, I want to learn that. Give me a
this, I want to learn that. Give me a
this, I want to learn that. Give me a road map. Now there is no road map that
road map. Now there is no road map that
road map. Now there is no road map that can be given generically because the
can be given generically because the
can be given generically because the road map depends on your background,
road map depends on your background,
road map depends on your background, your likingness, your current skill
your likingness, your current skill
your likingness, your current skill level. So your road map cannot be
level. So your road map cannot be
level. So your road map cannot be learned from generic YouTube or from
learned from generic YouTube or from
learned from generic YouTube or from generic content. The only way to create
generic content. The only way to create
generic content. The only way to create a road map is to sit with an expert
a road map is to sit with an expert
a road map is to sit with an expert onetoone, spend time with them and then
onetoone, spend time with them and then
onetoone, spend time with them and then create your own personalized road map.
create your own personalized road map.
create your own personalized road map. But that facility not everybody has. So
But that facility not everybody has. So
But that facility not everybody has. So instead of looking for road maps, look
instead of looking for road maps, look
instead of looking for road maps, look for daily habits, look to work daily.
for daily habits, look to work daily.
for daily habits, look to work daily. And even a halfdecent course when done
And even a halfdecent course when done
And even a halfdecent course when done well every single day with a habit is
well every single day with a habit is
well every single day with a habit is much better than a perfect road map but
much better than a perfect road map but
much better than a perfect road map but not followed to the tea. Number three,
not followed to the tea. Number three,
not followed to the tea. Number three, you don't need motivation. You need
you don't need motivation. You need
you don't need motivation. You need discipline. What do I mean by that?
discipline. What do I mean by that?
discipline. What do I mean by that? Motivation will run out very very
Motivation will run out very very
Motivation will run out very very quickly. Today you watch this video, you
