DevOps & Cloud Foundations

Learn to deploy, automate, and keep real systems running — the skills that turn developers into the engineers every tech team depends on.

DevOps engineers are among the most in-demand and best-paid people in African tech, because every company that ships software needs someone who can keep it running. This course takes you from the Linux command line to running production systems in the cloud: you will manage servers over SSH, build CI/CD pipelines that ship code safely, containerise applications with Docker, provision infrastructure as code with Terraform-style tooling, and handle a 2am outage like a professional — including the rollback, the postmortem, and the cost review that follows.

Everything is taught through realistic scenarios from the market you will actually work in: keeping a Lagos fintech's API alive through a traffic spike, deploying an Abuja logistics startup's app several times a day, and controlling cloud bills that arrive in USD when revenue is in naira. Cloud concepts are taught provider-neutrally — compute instances, object storage, managed databases, IAM — so your skills transfer to whichever major provider your employer uses.

By the end you will have the working stack of a junior DevOps or platform engineer, a plan for the portfolio project that gets interviews, and a certificate to back it up. Pass the 20-question certification exam (70%, unlimited retakes) and your certificate is issued automatically — proof to employers, local and remote, that you can do more than write code: you can run it.
