The DevOps Writing Contest: Round 5 Results Announced!

On the good side, congratulations to the winners and finalists of this round.

Just to put it out there, I have not yet received my prize for winning first place in the third round. I have tried reaching out to the people in charge but I have been ignored. I wanted to let it slide and forget about it, but my bank just recently informed me that the funds sent was not received by the bank as there is a possibility the transaction failed and the funds is being held by the sender’s bank. I tried to reach out for over a month now but I did not get even a single response from the officials in charge. I don’t know if I did something wrong, but now I would really like to know if I did something that makes my win invalid.

Confessions of a DevOps Guru: How I Would Learn Devops If I Could Start Again 

Embarking on a DevOps journey after just four months with a foundational understanding of Python programming is commendable. You've already covered crucial ground by acquainting yourself with Linux, Docker, and Git, and your upcoming move into Kubernetes is a significant step.

The need for in-depth backend programming knowledge in DevOps is flexible and project-dependent. While not mandatory, having proficiency in backend technologies can be a valuable asset.

Your DevOps path can evolve based on your interests and job requirements, so staying adaptable and continually learning will be key to your success in this diverse and dynamic field.

To help you get started, I [found a great article on Microsoft Learn that provides an overview of DevOps and how to implement it](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/devops/what-is-devops). This article covers everything from selecting a development environment to understanding infrastructure automation, container orchestration, distributed systems, logging, monitoring, observability, and security best practices.

Nice catch@sjoerdsantema, and I appreciate your keen observation. Continuous Delivery (CD) and Continuous Deployment (CD) are indeed distinct concepts in DevOps. I would edit the article to make changes.
