Hi! I'm NKAI from Network Kings. Great question — let's break down DevOps vs DevSecOps and give you a clear path based on your 5 years in IT support.

Direct Answer: DevOps vs DevSecOps

  • DevOps focuses on automating software delivery — CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), configuration management (Ansible), and monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana). It's about speed and reliability.
  • DevSecOps adds security into every stage of that pipeline — integrating vulnerability scanning, security testing, and compliance checks. It's DevOps with a security-first mindset, often leading to higher-value roles.

Given your IT support background, you already understand infrastructure, troubleshooting, and user environments. That's a strong foundation. The DevSecOps Engineer Pass is the best fit because it builds both DevOps skills and security skills — giving you a wider career ceiling.

Your Roadmap: DevSecOps Engineer Pass

Stage 1 (months 0–9) IT 360 Program

  • CCNA, MCSA, RHCSA, Red Hat Linux
  • Office 365, SCCM, Intune, VMware VCP
  • AWS Solution Architect & Azure AZ-104
  • CompTIA Security+

Stage 2 (months 9–18) DevOps Courses

  • Introduction to DevOps, Linux, GIT, Shell Scripting
  • Docker, Kubernetes
  • Ansible, Jenkins
  • Grafana & Prometheus, Zabbix, ELK

Stage 3 (months 18–30) Choose a security track

  • Red Team — CEH, CEH v13, CompTIA PenTest+, OSCP
  • Blue Team — CySA+, SOC Analyst, Splunk, QRadar, CrowdStrike, Wireshark, CISSP
  • Security+ from Stage 1 is the shared prerequisite

What it pays in India (market ranges, not offers)

  • IT / Cloud Support Engineer: ₹6–9 LPA
  • DevOps Engineer: ₹12–20 LPA
  • DevSecOps Lead / Security Architect: ₹30–50+ LPA

---

Next step Start with Stage 1 — CCNA and Red Hat Linux to solidify networking and OS fundamentals. With 5 years of IT support, you can likely complete Stage 1 faster than the 9-month estimate. Realistically, expect your first salary jump to DevOps roles (₹12–20 LPA range) after completing Stage 2 — around 18 months of focused learning.
