Why is DevOps Your Next Step?
Today’s market isn’t just looking for “people who know Docker,” but for engineers who understand the entire product lifecycle.
-
From putting out fires to automation: You’ll stop doing routine tasks manually. Set it up once, and the system runs smoothly on its own.
-
Stability as a standard: We’ll teach you how to design environments that can withstand heavy loads and easily recover from failures.
-
Infrastructure economics: You’ll become a specialist who doesn’t just “spin up servers,” but optimizes cloud costs for the business.
Trainer: Gennadii Nikitin
DevOps Engineer at Sigma Software A practitioner who made the journey from NOC Engineer to DevOps. His expertise is built on real critical incidents and 24/7 support of complex infrastructures.
What you’ll gain from training with Gennadii:
-
Understanding “under the hood”: You won’t just memorize commands; you’ll understand how Linux and networks actually work. This will help you identify the root causes of issues much faster.
-
24/7 survival skills: Gennadiy will teach you how to build systems that don’t require your presence at night, and how to respond correctly to incidents if they do happen.
-
Architectural mindset: You’ll learn not just to “install software,” but to build integrations (e.g., Nginx + DB) that operate seamlessly and handle heavy traffic.
-
A culture of automation: Gain hands-on experience transitioning from manual administration to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using battle-tested, production-ready approaches.
-
Professional feedback: Get your practical assignments reviewed by someone who has seen thousands of configurations and knows exactly where critical errors usually hide.
Course Program
The program consists of 18 lessons, with plenty of practice and homework. At the end, participants will complete a final project. Each lesson lasts 1.5–2 hours.
-
Topics: Virtualization, Linux & Networks, Git & GitHub.
-
Overview: The foundation everything is built upon. You will learn to troubleshoot networks, identify system bottlenecks, and handle version control so you don’t wipe out your team’s work with a single commit.
-
Topics: AWS Cloud (basics and framework), IAM, Web Delivery.
-
Overview: A deep dive into the AWS ecosystem and the logic behind service interactions. We will configure access rights (who you are and what you’re allowed to do in the cloud) and work with S3, CDN, and certificates for fast and secure content delivery.
-
Topics: Disaster Recovery, Configuration Management, Docker.
-
Overview: We will create a Plan B for when everything goes down. You will learn how to deploy software to 100+ servers faster than it takes to brew a coffee, and how to properly pack apps into containers without deployment headaches.
-
Topics: CI/CD, Monitoring (Intro & Pro), Logging.
-
Overview: We will set up release pipelines in 20 lines of code. We’ll implement monitoring “on steroids” (Prometheus, Grafana, AlertManager), learn how to gather log evidence, and get instant alerts the moment the system starts struggling.
-
Topics: Secrets Management, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Cost Optimization.
-
Overview: Where to hide your keys from hackers, how to build entire infrastructures using nothing but code, and how to optimize costs so you don’t drain the project budget on AWS “coffee.”
Exam and the presentation of your final project.
Who is this for?
- System Administrators: to level up in both salary and responsibilities.
- Junior Developers: to understand how code turns into a live, working product.
- QA Engineers: to learn how to spin up test environments independently
.Important: As this is an intensive course, we expect you to have basic Linux experience and an understanding of the SDLC. English level: Pre-Intermediate or higher.
What will you take away?
