Been at Hostinger support three years. Want to move toward platform/SRE work. Know cPanel, WHM, basic docker, some bash. Unclear how skills translate.
Did you test your restore?
My plan:
- Learn Terraform or Ansible properly
- Get comfortable with observability (Prometheus, Grafana)
- Contribute to internal tooling
But worried "support" label sticks. Former colleagues who made jump: what actually mattered?
3-2-1 rule for career: 3 skills, 2 projects, 1 mentor.
3-2-1 or you're already dead

Hi Bella, so you have the skill already! VPS management is same everywhere. Why you think SRE is different? Dealing with angry customer = dealing with angry pager. Same nerves. Same diplomacy.
The server crashes at 3AM. The customer yells. The incident page screams. Same! Apply! What you waiting?
your margin is my opportunity
