Course overview

A master programme covering three cloud platforms and the DevOps toolchain that runs on them. Learners begin with Linux administration, networking and Git, then work through AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform, containers and Kubernetes, infrastructure as code with Terraform, Cl/CD with Jenkins, DevSecOps, monitoring, configuration management, cloud security and multi-cloud architecture.

Module 12 is delivered in its expanded twelve-session form; the session-by-session breakdown is set out in the appendix to this handout. The programme closes with 50 hours of industry projects.

Who it is for
  • System and network administrators moving to cloud
  • Developers taking on deployment and pipeline work
  • Support engineers targeting DevOps roles
  • Graduates with networking and Linux fundamentals
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of networking, Linux and programming fundamentals.
How it runs
Learn → Practise → Build → Experience → Demonstrate, ending in a capstone. Delivered by practitioners from the engineering bench, in Madurai, Coimbatore and online.
