Pathway

DevOps & Deployment

Take a real app to production on Linux — containerize it, secure it, monitor it, automate it, codify its infrastructure as code, then orchestrate it across a cluster.

Outcome

Deploy, containerize, secure, monitor, automate, and orchestrate app delivery — and codify the infrastructure itself as code — from a single Linux box to a self-healing, multi-node Kubernetes cluster you provision and run yourself.

    Linux Essentials

    Foundation — set up and own a Linux machine. The terminal is the base every deployment in this pathway runs on.

  2. Complete the foundation before the core courses. Every deployment here happens on the Linux machine you set up in Linux Essentials — get comfortable owning the terminal first.

    Infrastructure as Code with Terraform

    Codify your infrastructure as code — provision, version, and destroy real environments declaratively with Terraform, so every server is reproducible and reviewable, not hand-built.

    Practical Kubernetes with k3s

    The capstone — stand up a real Kubernetes cluster with k3s and run a self-healing, multi-node, zero-downtime deployment of a full multi-tier app.
