Advanced DevOps Learning Path
Master reliability, monitoring, distributed systems, and large-scale automation for production-grade environments.
Why Choose the Advanced Path?
The Advanced Path is for engineers who are comfortable with Linux, automation, and CI/CD pipelines. You will learn how to operate large-scale systems reliably, manage incidents, and optimize performance.
Advanced DevOps is about predicting, preventing, and quickly recovering from real-world failures.
Graduates of this path gain confidence in managing complex infrastructure, designing SLOs, automating workflows at scale, and ensuring reliability under pressure.
