Cloud bills climb, deployments stall and developers wait for tickets when infrastructure is built by hand and nobody owns cost. Ten days of lab-based training show experienced engineers how to fix all three. You build production-grade platforms on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud with Terraform, design landing zones and networks, run workloads on Kubernetes, and deliver through CI/CD pipelines and GitOps with Argo CD or Flux.
The second week goes deeper into service meshes, policy as code, secrets management, DevSecOps scanning, SRE practices such as service level objectives and error budgets, observability with Prometheus, Grafana and OpenTelemetry, and chaos testing. FinOps sessions cover tagging, allocation, rightsizing, commitment discounts, unit economics and showback. You finish by assembling an internal developer platform with golden paths and self-service. Cloud engineers, DevOps and site reliability engineers, solution architects, platform leads, infrastructure managers and technical finance staff are the intended audience. Classroom, online and in-house delivery is available. You return able to run a platform as a product and report its cost. A CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion is issued by Vision Reach Global Consultancy.
Organisations across Africa and beyond are moving core systems to public cloud, only to discover that migrating servers is the easy part. Teams struggle with sprawling accounts, inconsistent environments, slow release cycles, security gaps and invoices nobody can explain. The response of the last few years has been platform engineering, which provides developers with a reliable paved road, and FinOps, which brings engineering, finance and business together to manage cloud value.
This ten-day advanced programme brings these disciplines together. The first week establishes a solid base: cloud architecture and landing zones, infrastructure as code, containers, Kubernetes operations, CI/CD and secure software delivery. The second week moves into platform and reliability territory: GitOps, multi-cluster and multi-cloud patterns, policy as code, service mesh, observability, incident response, and capacity and cost engineering. A dedicated FinOps thread teaches participants to tag, allocate, forecast and optimise spend and to express it as unit cost per customer or transaction.
Nearly every session is a lab in a real cloud account. Participants work in teams on a capstone that provisions an environment, deploys an application through a pipeline, instruments it and reports on its cost, and they leave with reusable code and a platform roadmap for their own organisation.
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
