DevOps & Platform Engineering Academy

Master Linux — the foundation of every server, container, and cloud instance

TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs, firewalls, and cloud networking fundamentals

Automate everything with Bash — the universal automation language of DevOps

Containerisation, Docker Compose, multi-stage builds, and best practices

Container orchestration — Pods, Deployments, Services, networking, and production ops

Kubernetes package manager — chart development, templates, and values management

Service mesh — traffic management, mTLS, observability, and canary rollouts with Istio

Linux kernel programmability — next-gen networking, observability, and security with Cilium

Artifact and container registries — store, scan, sign, and replicate images and packages

Event-driven autoscaling for Kubernetes — scale on Kafka lag, queue depth, cron, and custom metrics

CI/CD fundamentals — pipeline stages, build/test/deploy automation, tool comparison (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)

Version control, branching strategies, PRs, and collaborative workflows

CI/CD pipelines, declarative Jenkinsfiles, shared libraries, and Kubernetes agents

GitOps continuous delivery — App of Apps, sync waves, multi-cluster management

Progressive delivery — canary and blue-green rollouts with automated, metric-driven analysis and rollback

All-in-one DevSecOps platform — SCM + CI/CD + Registry + Security scanning

Pure GitOps — no UI, CRD-driven, multi-tenancy

Cloud-native CI/CD on Kubernetes — Tasks, Pipelines, Triggers

Cloud-native CI/CD — YAML workflows, reusable actions, matrix builds

HashiCorp Terraform — modules, state, workspaces, and production patterns

Agentless configuration management — playbooks, roles, vault, and rolling updates

Metrics collection, PromQL, alerting rules, and recording rules

Dashboards, visualization, alerts, and unified observability

Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana — centralized log management and analytics

High availability and disaster recovery — RTO/RPO, multi-AZ/region failover, backup strategy

Incident response process — severity levels, on-call, postmortems, communication during outages

Deliberately injecting failure to test resilience — chaos experiments, blast radius, game days

Forecasting resource needs — load testing, scaling thresholds, cost-aware headroom planning

Automating operational toil away — runbooks as code, auto-remediation, self-healing systems

Distributed event streaming — topics, partitions, consumer groups, exactly-once semantics

Three roles clarified — what each actually does, how they differ, and how to answer it in interviews

The open platform for building developer portals — Software Catalog, Software Templates, TechDocs, and plugins

Enterprise observability — metrics, logs, APM, and synthetic monitoring in one platform

Label-based log aggregation paired with unified observability signals via OpenTelemetry

Enterprise log analytics and SIEM — SPL, indexing architecture, and security correlation at scale

Python for DevOps — boto3, subprocess, click CLIs, Kubernetes client, automation

Web server, reverse proxy, load balancer — config, SSL termination, performance

Enterprise Kubernetes — SCCs, Routes, Operators, OLM, KubeVirt, Tekton, live migration, and GitOps at scale

Secrets management — dynamic secrets, PKI, encryption as a service, and identity-based access control

All-in-one vulnerability, misconfiguration, and secret scanner — images, IaC, Kubernetes clusters, and SBOM

Continuous code quality and security analysis — bugs, vulnerabilities, code smells, and Quality Gates
