DevOps Foundations – Bootcamp

🚀 The DigiSpidey DevOps Engineering Bootcamp

Pre-Requisite – Linux Terminal Basics & Navigation (Available for free)

📦 MODULE 1: The OS & Automation Core (Weeks 1 & 2)

Perfect for IT professionals and developers wanting to master Linux systems and bash automation.

Week 1: Advanced Linux & Shell Scripting

Transitioning from manual commands to Bash scripting.

Variables, loops, and conditional logic (if/else).

Text processing tools (grep, awk, sed) for log analysis.

Mini-Project: Write a script that parses a web server log and blocks malicious IP addresses.

Week 2: Advanced Server Administration

User management, PAM, and advanced SSH key cryptography.

Task scheduling with cron.

Advanced networking, firewalls (ufw/iptables), and DNS routing.

Module 1 Capstone: Automate a secure, nightly database backup to a remote server.

📦 MODULE 2: Code & Containerization (Weeks 3 & 4)

Designed for engineers looking to modernize their application delivery and eliminate “it works on my machine” errors.

Week 3: Version Control & Collaboration (Git)

The Git lifecycle: add, commit, push, pull.

Branching strategies, merging, and resolving merge conflicts.

Collaborative workflows using GitHub/GitLab.

Mini-Project: Fork a broken application repository, create a branch, fix the code, and submit a Pull Request.

Week 4: Containerization (Docker)

The underlying technology of containers and how they solve dependency hell.

Writing Dockerfiles to containerize applications.

Managing images, volumes, and networks.

Multi-container environments using Docker Compose.

Module 2 Capstone: Containerize a Node.js/Python application with a connected Redis database.

📦 MODULE 3: The Automated Cloud (Weeks 5 & 6)

For those ready to build professional delivery pipelines and provision cloud infrastructure with code.

Week 5: Continuous Integration & Deployment (CI/CD)

Introduction to the CI/CD pipeline (using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI).

Automated testing and linting upon code commit.

Building and pushing Docker images automatically to a registry.

Mini-Project: Build a pipeline that automatically tests and builds a web app every time code is pushed to the main branch.

Week 6: Infrastructure as Code (Terraform & AWS)

Introduction to Cloud Computing (AWS core services: EC2, VPC, S3).

The concept of Immutable Infrastructure.

Writing Terraform configurations to provision cloud resources.

Module 3 Capstone: Use Terraform to spin up a secure AWS network (VPC) and a live EC2 web server from scratch.

📦 MODULE 4: Scale & Observability (Weeks 7 & 8)

The advanced tier for deploying highly available, self-healing infrastructure at global scale.

Week 7: Container Orchestration (Kubernetes)

Why Docker isn’t enough for global scale.

The Kubernetes architecture (Pods, Deployments, Services).

Scaling applications up and down, and self-healing infrastructure.

Mini-Project: Deploy a highly available, load-balanced application into a local Kubernetes cluster (Minikube/K3s).

Week 8: Observability & The Final Capstone

Monitoring infrastructure using Prometheus.

Visualizing traffic and server health with Grafana dashboards.

Module 4 Capstone: Tie all 8 weeks together. Write infrastructure code (Terraform) to build a server, set up a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a containerized application into a Kubernetes cluster, and set up automated monitoring to ensure it stays online.
