Cloud & DevOps Foundations
Writing an application and running one are different skills. This path covers the second: making a build reproducible, getting it onto infrastructure you do not manage, and knowing whether it is healthy.
Cloud concepts are taught at a level that transfers between providers, with both Azure and AWS naming shown, so you are not locked into one vendor's vocabulary.
Prerequisites
- An application you can build and run locally
- Comfort with a command line

The route
Take these in order. Each step exists because the previous one left something unresolved.
- Git & GitHub
Branching and automated checks, which pipelines build on.
- Docker & Containers
Images, Compose, multi-stage builds and production hardening.
- Cloud & DevOps Foundations
Cloud services, pipelines, environments and monitoring.
Deploy something real
Container image, automated pipeline, managed database, monitoring and a tested rollback.
