DevOps & Cloud Basics

Online self-study + projects. Learn CI/CD, containers, cloud fundamentals, IaC, and monitoring to ship reliably.

DevOps & Cloud Basics

Course Overview

Build a strong foundation in DevOps and cloud. You’ll containerize apps, create automated CI/CD pipelines, provision infrastructure with code, and add logging/monitoring. We’ll focus on practical patterns you can apply on any cloud provider to ship faster and safer.

What You’ll Learn

  • DevOps fundamentals and delivery workflows
  • Docker containers and image best practices
  • CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) for build, test, deploy
  • Cloud fundamentals (AWS/Azure/GCP concepts)
  • Infrastructure as Code with Terraform (intro)
  • Basic Kubernetes concepts (pods, deployments, services)
  • Monitoring & logging (metrics, logs, alerts)
  • Security basics: secrets, least privilege, scanning

Topics Covered

  • DevOps mindset & SDLC
  • Git branching & PR workflows
  • Dockerfiles, multi-stage builds
  • Local dev with Docker Compose
  • GitHub Actions: jobs & runners
  • Artifact storage & versioning
  • Cloud building blocks (compute, storage, networking)
  • Terraform basics: providers & resources
  • Variables, state, and remote backends
  • Kubernetes fundamentals (intro)
  • Ingress & service discovery (concepts)
  • Observability: logs, metrics, traces
  • Dashboards & alerts
  • Container/image scanning
  • Project: CI/CD for a demo app
  • Project: IaC module for a service

Who Is This For?

Developers and junior DevOps/Platform engineers who want hands-on experience with modern delivery, containerization, and cloud fundamentals to support production systems.

FAQs

Comfort with a programming language and basic command-line & Git usage. No prior cloud experience required.

Docker, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and a cloud provider (AWS/Azure/GCP). Kubernetes is introduced conceptually with a simple demo.
