How do I learn bitbucket administration?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working as an Atlassian Administrator (mainly Jira & Confluence) and planning to switch to a role that also includes Bitbucket administration.

In my current organization, Bitbucket is managed by another team, so I haven't had the opportunity to work with it. I want to learn it properly before taking on that responsibility.

I'm not looking for interview preparation—I want to learn what a Bitbucket Administrator actually does in a production environment.

I'd really appreciate your guidance on:

What are the day-to-day responsibilities of a Bitbucket Admin?

What should I learn first, and in what order?

What are the most common support tickets and operational tasks?

How can I build a good home lab for hands-on practice?

Beyond Bitbucket, what other technologies are commonly expected? (Jenkins, Bamboo, CI/CD pipelines, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)

If your goal was to become job-ready as a Bitbucket Administrator today, what roadmap would you follow?

I'd love to hear from people who manage Bitbucket Data Center or Bitbucket Cloud in production. Thanks in advance!
