What You'll Actually Build

Forget the theory-heavy approach. Each phase centers on building something that works — the kind of infrastructure you'd see at a growing tech company. By the end, you'll have deployed real systems that handle actual traffic.

Phase 1

Foundation Layer

  • Setting up AWS and Azure environments properly
  • Linux administration basics that actually matter
  • Network fundamentals without the boring parts
  • Security configurations you can't skip
  • Terraform for infrastructure as code
5 weeks
Phase 2

Container Systems

  • Docker from scratch to production
  • Kubernetes deployments that don't break
  • Service mesh implementation with Istio
  • Monitoring and logging that helps
  • Load balancing and auto-scaling
5 weeks
Phase 3

CI/CD Pipeline

  • Building deployment pipelines with Jenkins
  • GitOps workflow with ArgoCD
  • Automated testing strategies
  • Blue-green deployments in practice
  • Rollback procedures when things fail
3 weeks
Phase 4

Database Management

  • PostgreSQL setup and optimization
  • Redis caching strategies
  • Database backup automation
  • Replication and failover handling
  • Performance tuning with real data
2 weeks
Phase 5

Production Systems

  • Disaster recovery planning
  • Cost optimization techniques
  • Security auditing and compliance
  • Performance monitoring with Prometheus
  • On-call procedures and incident response
1 week
Capstone

Real Project Work

  • Build a complete cloud platform
  • Handle actual deployment scenarios

Learn From Active Engineers

Our instructors aren't career teachers. Alexis Thornburg spent six years managing cloud infrastructure for e-commerce platforms processing millions of transactions daily. Noah Whitfield builds DevOps pipelines for financial services. They teach what they use every week.

Instructor Background

Current Work: Both instructors maintain active consulting practices alongside teaching, bringing current challenges and solutions to class discussions.
Experience: Combined 14 years working with AWS, Azure, GCP across startups and enterprise environments. Have handled infrastructure for systems serving 2M+ daily users.
Teaching Style: Lab-heavy sessions with minimal lectures. Students spend 80% of class time building and debugging actual systems. Office hours twice weekly for individual support.
Industry Focus: Particular expertise in fintech and e-commerce infrastructure, with strong connections to Taiwan's growing cloud sector.
