About DevOps

Ship faster, safer, and with confidence.

DevOps blends development, operations, and security into a single delivery lifecycle. This roadmap builds a strong foundation first, then accelerates into automation, cloud-native tooling, and real-world system design.

Skills You Will Gain

  • Automation and infrastructure as code
  • Continuous integration and delivery
  • Observability and reliability engineering

Industry-Ready Focus

  • Portfolio-grade projects
  • Modern DevOps toolchain
  • Security and scalability principles

Roadmap Overview

Learn by building

  • Build repeatable workflows with CI/CD and infrastructure automation.
  • Deploy on cloud-native stacks with Kubernetes, Terraform, and monitoring.
  • Prepare for real production systems with DevSecOps and scaling practices.

Outcome

Launch a DevOps portfolio that recruiters notice.
