The DevOps Foundations pathway is a comprehensive 12-week program designed to take participants from zero to job-ready in the core disciplines of modern DevOps engineering. This pathway serves as the bedrock for anyone pursuing a career in DevOps, cloud engineering, or platform operations.

Participants will build deep practical knowledge across the full DevOps toolchain — from understanding DevOps culture and cloud computing fundamentals through to containerization, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and configuration management. Every module is built around real-world use cases and hands-on projects that mirror what engineers do on the job daily.

The program is structured as two 3-hour sessions per week over 12 weeks. Each session combines concept teaching with practical labs, ensuring participants leave every class with something working and deployable.
