From Zero Exposure to Systems Engineer

Avishekh A R’s Cloud & DevOps Transformation

The Starting Line

“I was interested in studying Linux and cloud computing.”

Avishekh A R didn’t start with experience, certifications, or confidence in Cloud and DevOps. He started with curiosity.

A BSc Computer Science student (2021–2024), Avishekh knew the future belonged to Linux, Cloud, and automation; but he also knew he had no prior knowledge in any of them. What he needed wasn’t random tutorials. He needed structure, direction, and real industry exposure.

That search led him to ipsr solutions limited, through YouTube.

The Decision That Changed Everything

“I decided to pursue the Cloud & DevOps program to gain a strong foundational understanding along with practical, hands-on experience.”

With zero background in Cloud Computing, Linux, or DevOps, Avishekh chose IPSR for one clear reason: industry-focused training.

His expectation was simple, but ambitious. Not just learning terms. Not just passing a course.
But becoming job-ready.

The Turning Point: Learning That Actually Sticks

“At first theories will be discussed and then practical sessions of the same will be done.”

From day one, the learning experience felt different. Every concept was followed by execution.
Every theory was backed by hands-on labs.

“The study materials provided had clear explanations of core concepts.The project work was especially valuable because it required me to apply what I learned to practical.”

Avishekh trained on real DevOps tools used in the industry, including:

• AWS
• Docker
• Jenkins
• Ansible
• Terraform
• CI/CD Pipelines

This wasn’t simulated learning. This was real-world preparation.

Mentorship That Made the Difference

Behind the tools and labs was something even more powerful that helped Avishekh: mentorship by Amal Kumar Sir.

Clear explanations.
Patient guidance.
Industry insights.

That support helped Avishekh, a complete beginner, build confidence step by step.

From Learning to Doing: The Internship Shift

“Practical sessions, internship was very effective, highly knowledgeable instructors.”

This is the point where Avishekh’s recommendation of IPSR becomes clear.

The internship phase marked a decisive shift, from understanding concepts to thinking and working like a professional. This is where workflows became real, responsibilities felt tangible, and DevOps moved beyond theory.

This was the stage where tools, processes, and discipline came together, where DevOps stopped being a buzzword and became a usable, job-ready skillset.

The Breakthrough: Placement That Didn’t Stop at Training

“IPSR provides exceptional placement support. The placement team provided immense support even after the completion of the course.”

Training was only half the journey. What followed was consistent placement support: guidance, follow-ups, and preparation that continued even after the course ended.

The Result: A Career Takes Shape

“Currently, Linux is primarily used in my job role which plays a crucial role in DevOps practices.”

Today, Avishekh A R works as an Associate Systems Engineer at Gruppo Zenit Indian (P) Ltd, based at Technopark, Trivandrum, where he joined on 28 July 2025. In his day-to-day responsibilities, Linux is not optional, it is central to how systems are managed, automated, and optimized.

The skills he built during IPSR’s Cloud & DevOps training translate directly into his current role, validating the program’s strong industry alignment. What began as zero exposure to Cloud and DevOps has now evolved into real-world responsibility and relevance.

The transformation is complete: from beginner to industry-ready professional.

Looking Ahead: The DevOps Vision

“My future goal is become a DevOps engineer.”

With a strong foundation in DevOps concepts, tools, and workflows, Avishekh is now building toward his long-term goal—becoming a DevOps Engineer.

This is not the end of his journey. It’s the launchpad.
