Cloud Computing & DevOps Course
Build practical cloud and DevOps skills across Linux, containers, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, monitoring, and secure operations.
ABOUT THE COURSE
About Cloud Computing & DevOps Course
Cloud and DevOps work connects application delivery with the infrastructure, automation, and operational practices that keep services reliable. This course introduces a vendor-aware but transferable workflow: understand the environment, package an application, automate checks, deploy deliberately, and monitor what happens.
Build foundations before automation
Learn cloud service and deployment models, Linux command-line concepts, networking basics, environment configuration, and source control. Understand which responsibilities belong to a cloud provider and which remain with the team operating an application.
Package and deliver applications
Practice container concepts, image and configuration management, CI/CD stages, automated tests, deployment approvals, and infrastructure-as-code planning. Exercises use non-production examples and emphasize reviewable changes, safe credentials handling, and rollback planning.
Operate with visibility and care
Use logs, metrics, and alerts to investigate a simulated service issue. Apply least-privilege access, secrets management, backups, and change review as part of the delivery lifecycle. Specific cloud vendors, account access, lab costs, schedule, and delivery format must be confirmed for the current cohort.
Projects demonstrate practice and do not guarantee production readiness, certification, employment, or business results.

COURSE CURRICULUM
What you will study
6 modules · Explore the complete learning path below
Understand cloud service models and shared responsibility, then use Linux and networking basics to inspect an application environment.
-
Cloud concepts
- IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS
- Regions and availability concepts
- Shared responsibility
-
Operating environment
- Shell navigation
- Processes and permissions
- DNS, ports, and HTTP
Inspect a local or sandbox service, record its processes and listening ports, and draw a simple request path.
Use version control and environment-based configuration to make changes reviewable while keeping credentials out of source code.
-
Git workflow
- Branches and commits
- Reviewable changes
- Release tags
-
Configuration
- Environment variables
- Secrets boundaries
- Configuration validation
Prepare a sample application configuration, commit a safe example file, and identify secrets that must not be committed.
Learn how images package application dependencies and how containers run with explicit configuration, storage, and network boundaries.
-
Image and container concepts
- Dockerfiles and layers
- Build and run
- Tags and registries
-
Runtime configuration
- Environment variables
- Volumes and networks
- Resource considerations
Containerize a small sample application and document its build command, runtime configuration, and cleanup steps.
Automate repeatable checks and package delivery with visible stages, approvals, and a defined recovery path.
-
Pipeline stages
- Build and test
- Artifacts
- Environment promotion
-
Release controls
- Approval gates
- Deployment checks
- Rollback planning
Create a sample pipeline outline that runs tests, stores an artifact, requires approval before deployment, and documents rollback steps.
Describe infrastructure changes as reviewable code and understand plans, state, drift, and safe access to deployment credentials.
-
Declarative infrastructure
- Resources and variables
- Reusable modules
- Plan before apply
-
State and change risk
- State purpose
- Drift detection
- Review and access control
Review a non-production infrastructure plan and identify resource changes, possible impact, and required approval.
Operate a simulated service with useful logs, metrics, and alerts while applying least privilege, backup planning, and incident review.
-
Observability basics
- Logs and structured events
- Metrics and thresholds
- Alert quality
-
Operational readiness
- Least privilege
- Backups and recovery
- Incident notes
Present a sample delivery pipeline, environment diagram, monitoring plan, security checklist, and rollback runbook.
The planned curriculum covers cloud foundations, Linux and networking, containers, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, monitoring, security, and a deployment capstone. Confirm schedule, duration, platform access, and any lab-cost arrangements with admissions.
