I just realized as I explore more about cloud providers and cloud native solutions, it is important to have a **FOCUS** on a specific tool that you know.

To help you define such characteristics it must have:

* Active and Large Community
    
* Well understood Resources and Documentation
    

An Example would be CNCF, some of the projects will not run without a container orchestration tool (possible but maybe hard to make a workaround) because it needs Kubernetes. So define what orchestration tool you need. In this case, **Kubernetes** is widely used by organization, has an active community and well understood resources that can be found across the Internet.

In CI/CD, it can be using a self-hosted solution such as GITLAB, Jenkins or ARGOCD , depends on your preference. I prefer to use **Gitlab.**

Define your devops toolbox and study it from its deepest concepts.

Although technology changes a lot, it is here to stay and can be ported into other solutions. Be like water as they say. 👍
