"From Corporate Office to World Traveler: Seeking Advice on Starting a Freelance DevOps Career"

Hi everyone, I am an experienced IT professional with a strong background in a range of technologies and tools, including VMware, different Linux flavors, AWS, Ansible, web servers, and HAProxy. I also have project management and infrastructure stability skills.

My goal is to transition to a career in DevOps or a related field and eventually build a successful freelance career. I am interested in this field because it offers the opportunity to work remotely and have a flexible lifestyle that will allow me to travel and explore the world.

I am looking for advice on how to start a freelance career in DevOps, what specific technologies or platforms I should focus on, and how I can build my network and find clients in this field.

I would love to hear from anyone who has successfully made the transition to DevOps or related fields and can offer insights and advice on how to build a successful freelance career in this area. What steps should I take to learn more about the field, gain experience, and build my skills? How can I build my network and find clients as a freelancer in this field?

Thank you in advance for your help and advice!
