I'd say if you have a decent IT background and know the basics of how internet and software development works you should be fine with the side kicks you were talking about. DevOps again is a generic term, it could mean a lot of different position and technology depending upon a company. But popularity wise , Chef , puppet , git , docker is the buzz these days. I think DevOps is good career these days as companies move to cloud and develop / maintain their code themselves. A good DevOps I think always must know Linux at least to a basic level. Besides that understanding of database , programming paradigms and Networking is a must.

I am an AWS Certified DevOps engineer. Was the path easy ? Heck No. Is it possible ? Absolutely Yes. I agree with @fdpower , companies are rapidly moving to CI/CD, so the demand for DevOps engineer is very high. Start with basics, I would highly highly recommend starting with https://linuxacademy.com/ they offer hands on tutorial ($30/month) subskription. I know I hated to pay upfront as well, but once you get certified from AWS you will thank them more than anybody else. Consider them as a tuition sir, who is helping you to be a certified AWS engineer. Also, to consider with that 30 bucks you will have access to 6 Cloud based CentOS PERSONAL servers for you to mess around with. Good Luck
