Teams that ship software slowly, run servers by hand and open cloud bills with dread are leaving value on the table. Modern delivery relies on automation, repeatable infrastructure and shared responsibility between developers, operations and finance. This ten-day programme starts from first principles and takes beginners through the practices and tools that make that possible, with a hands-on lab in every session.
The first half covers cloud computing concepts, virtual machines, networking, identity and storage, Linux and shell basics, Git workflows, Docker containers and CI/CD pipelines. The second half moves to Kubernetes, infrastructure as code with Terraform, monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, logging, security basics, site reliability ideas, FinOps cost allocation and optimisation, and platform engineering with self-service golden paths. System administrators, junior developers, IT support and infrastructure staff, cloud migration teams, technical project managers and graduates entering technology careers will find a clear path in. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, finishing with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can build and deploy an application through an automated pipeline and explain its running cost.
Cloud platforms have shifted infrastructure from capital purchases to usage-based services, and software teams are expected to deliver changes weekly or daily rather than quarterly. This creates demand for people who understand how code, infrastructure and money connect. Yet many organisations adopt cloud tools without the working habits that make them reliable, secure and affordable, and end up with fragile systems and unexpected bills.
This programme builds those habits step by step. Participants first learn the vocabulary and building blocks of public cloud, along with the Linux, networking and version control skills on which everything else rests. They then adopt DevOps practices: continuous integration and delivery, containerisation, orchestration, configuration and infrastructure defined as code, and observability. The later part introduces FinOps, the discipline of managing cloud spend collaboratively through tagging, allocation, budgeting and rightsizing, and platform engineering, where internal teams provide paved, self-service routes for developers to build and run services safely.
Every day combines explanation with guided practice in a cloud lab environment. By the final day, participants have assembled a small end-to-end project that they can describe, demonstrate and extend after the course.
By the end of the ten days, participants will be able to:
Participants finish the course with:
The course is lab-led, with explanation kept brief so most time is spent working in a real environment. It includes:
Day 1: Cloud Computing Foundations
Day 2: Linux, Networking and Scripting
Day 3: The DevOps Mindset and Version Control
Day 4: Continuous Integration
Day 5: Containers with Docker
Day 6: Kubernetes Essentials
Day 7: Infrastructure as Code and Continuous Delivery
Day 8: Observability, Reliability and Security
Day 9: FinOps and Cloud Cost Management
Day 10: Platform Engineering and Capstone
The course is a starting point for people moving into modern infrastructure and delivery roles, such as:
Participants who attend the full ten days and complete the labs and the capstone project are awarded a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion by Vision Reach Global Consultancy.
