This course is designed for anyone who wants to start or advance their DevOps career through hands-on, project-based learning.

You’ll begin with Linux, networking, and scripting fundamentals, then progress through key DevOps tools — Git, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS Cloud.

Each step builds on the last with real projects, like setting up the Vprofile application across multiple DevOps stages — from on-premise to AWS to Kubernetes.

The course also introduces AI-powered tools such as GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q, and AI-integrated Helm, helping you automate faster, code smarter, and build intelligent DevOps pipelines.

And now — introducing the brand-new Monitoring & Observability section, where you’ll learn how to collect, visualize, and analyze metrics, logs, and traces using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Alloy.

By the end, you’ll master both the core DevOps practices and modern AI-driven workflows, preparing you for real-world cloud and automation environments.
