Today is fast digital world businesses can't afford delays in software delivery; every company wants faster delivery, smoother systems, and skilled professionals who can make it happen. This is where DevOps has emerged as one of the in-demand skills. Professionals who can bridge the gap between development and operations, automate the workflows, and keep deployments running smoothly are the ones companies rely on to stay competitive.

But here is the truth. DevOps can't really be mastered just by reading theory or watching tutorials. It requires hands-on practice, real-world problem solving, and, of course, the right mentorship. That is exactly what one of our students found at BANCOM. Meet our student Shriyansh Mishra, one of our learners who turned his DevOps curiosity into a rewarding career.

Here is his story:

Master the essential concepts of DevOps and learn how to automate, integrate, and deploy applications efficiently across development and operations teams.

My First Step into DevOps

Like many aspiring professionals, I started out exploring different career options like web development, data analysis, and cloud computing. Yet, DevOps stood out to me. Why, you ask? Because it offered the mixture of writing code and managing servers, connecting both worlds, making delivery faster, smoother, and smarter. Actually, I was looking for something beyond just writing extensive code. Because it was never my interest. But a career where I don't just write lines of code, but actually build systems that make an impact.

Still, I knew learning DevOps would not be easy, and I needed something beyond theory. That’s when I found Bancom.

Why I Chose Bancom

The challenge was finding a place to truly learn it. Many institutes offered practical training, but most relied on overcrowded classrooms or pre-recorded videos. What I wanted was simple: personal guidance, live projects, and real tasks. That’s when I chose Bancom. This training gave me exactly what I needed. From the very first day, the focus was on doing, not just listening.

Learning DevOps the Right Way

I still remember my first exercise: setting up a Git repository. When I got stuck with SSH key authentication, instead of fixing it for me, my trainer asked:

If this happened in a company, how would you debug it?

That single question changed my mindset, how I approached every challenge. With some guidance, I solved it myself, and that gave me immense confidence.

Over time, Bancom trainers made me practice merging Git branches, creating Jenkins jobs, and running Docker containers. Mistakes happened, failed builds, broken histories, missing dependencies, but that was the point. At Bancom, no question was ever too small. Whatever doubt I had got serious attention, and that has helped me move forward. Each error became a lesson, and with the patient support of Bancom trainers and seniors, my every failure turned into progress.

Building Real-World Confidence

I believe my turning point came when I built my first CI/CD pipeline. I pulled code from Git, built with Jenkins, packaged with Docker, and learned to deploy with automation. It sounded simple, but it was not easy at first. I ran into errors at every step, failed builds, container conflicts, and missing environment variables. I remember almost giving up one evening when my trainer said:

Do not try to fix everything at once. Break it down step by step.

That advice worked. By the end of the week, I had my first working pipeline. Watching code move from commit to deployment automatically was one of the most satisfying moments of my journey. Watching the pipeline run successfully gave me the confidence of a real DevOps engineer.

Live Project Experience

Bancom also gave me the chance to work on a live project. My task was to help set up a real CI/CD flow for a web app. One day, the pipeline kept failing mid-deployment. Instead of giving me the answer, my trainer asked:

If you were the only DevOps engineer, what’s the first thing you’d check?

That question made me think critically. I tested the environment variables, and sure enough, one was missing. Fixing that solved the problem and gave me the confidence that I could handle real-world issues.

Beyond Training: A Supportive Culture

What I loved most at Bancom was the culture. I never felt like just a trainee. Seniors gave me small, real-world tasks, reviewed my work, and shared their own experiences. My trainer was patient, encouraging me to ask questions and pushing me to think deeper.

Today, when I look back, I feel, Bancom wasn’t just a training institute. It was the place where I truly began my journey into DevOps.

The Bancom Difference:

  • Strong skills in Git, Jenkins, Docker, and CI/CD
  • The confidence to debug and solve problems on my own
  • Real hands-on exposure through a live project
  • A supportive culture that shaped my mindset as a DevOps professional
