Start Engineering Cloud Infrastructure.
A simulated workplace apprenticeship for beginners and career switchers. Master Linux, Git, Python automation, AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes through 12 production engineering tickets.
Zero foreign credit card required · 100% simulated with LocalStack & Docker · Live weekend masterclasses
The 3-Month Production Roadmap
Organized as a 12-Sprint simulated internship at a fictional fintech firm. You build, break, debug, and automate like a junior engineer on the job.
Systems Engineering & Python Automation
The bedrock of all computing. Master the operating system, shell scripting, and Python tooling for infrastructure automation.
- Linux filesystem hierarchy & secure permissions
- Git feature branching & GitHub PR reviews
- TCP/UDP, ports, sockets & the Triage Tree
- Systemd services & Nginx reverse proxying
- Bash scripting & Python automation for healthchecks & log parsing
Cloud Infrastructure & Terraform
Master AWS infrastructure with zero surprise bills using local cloud simulation and Free Tier guardrails.
- AWS IAM least-privilege & $0 budget alarms
- Dual-tier isolated VPC architecture (Subnets/IGW)
- S3 storage, private RDS databases & SSL/TLS
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform from scratch
- Automated provisioning & clean teardowns
Containers & Kubernetes Orchestration
Package microservices into slim containers, automate releases with GitHub Actions, and orchestrate zero-downtime rollouts on Kubernetes.
- Multi-stage Docker builds (<100MB images)
- Docker Compose multi-tier orchestration
- GitHub Actions CI: Automated testing & GHCR push
- Kubernetes (K8s): Pods, Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps & Ingress
- Zero-Downtime Rolling Updates, Self-Healing & Oral Defense
The 12 Engineering Tickets
Every week you receive a real Jira ticket. You submit code via GitHub Pull Requests verified by automated grading scripts.
Provision Local Linux & Git PR Workflow
Configure non-root user, secure SSH file permissions (chmod 400), set up git identity, create feature branch, and open your first pull request.
Triage Network Failures & The Triage Tree
Debug a broken VM where DNS is failing, a port is blocked by firewall, and an app is bound to localhost. Fix with curl, dig, and ss.
Systemd Daemonization & Nginx Reverse Proxy
Run a backend service under systemd, configure Nginx to proxy port 80 to port 8080, and implement custom 502/504 error handling.
Infrastructure Automation with Bash & Python
Author an idempotent Bash watchdog and a Python log/metric parser utility that inspects CPU, disk, memory, and application logs, alerting on anomalies.
Hardened AWS/LocalStack Compute & Zero-Cost Guardrails
Provision EC2 with IAM instance profile (zero hardcoded keys), attach security groups for ports 80/443, and set $0.01 budget alarms.
Dual-Tier Isolated VPC Network Architecture
Build a VPC with public web subnets and isolated private database subnets across two AZs with route table isolation.
Private RDS PostgreSQL, S3 Assets & SSL/TLS
Connect web layer to private PostgreSQL RDS, store uploaded media in S3 with secure bucket policies, and configure SSL certificates.
Codify 2-Tier Architecture in Terraform
Translate manual AWS/LocalStack resources into modular Terraform code (main, vars, outputs) and verify automated apply and teardown.
Multi-Stage Docker & Docker Compose Stacks
Build production-lean multi-stage Dockerfiles with non-root users, and orchestrate app + Redis + DB with healthchecks via Compose.
Automated CI with GitHub Actions & GHCR
Implement continuous integration workflow: run shellcheck, hadolint, automated unit tests, and publish versioned container images to GHCR.
Kubernetes Cluster Orchestration & Rolling Updates
Deploy containerized microservices to Kubernetes with declarative manifests (Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Ingress), liveness/readiness probes, and zero-downtime rolling updates.
Production Capstone: Terraform, Kubernetes & Live Defense
Ship the complete production stack (Terraform VPC, multi-stage Docker images, Kubernetes orchestration, CI/CD) and defend your architecture 1-on-1 with the lead instructor.
