Cloud
Renting computers and services over the internet, instead of buying and running your own.
Servers, databases, storage, by the minute.
What is it?
Two names, one goal.
DevOps
The habits and tools that get code from a developer's laptop to users, quickly and safely, again and again.
Developers + Operations, one team.
Our goals
What you'll walk away with
01Understand how a website really gets online, from servers to the cloud.
02Be at home in the terminal, on Linux and on remote servers.
03Use the tools teams use every day: Git, Docker, GitHub Actions.
04Deploy your own project on a real cloud, and know what to learn next.
The plan
One semester, 8 adventures.
Each session solves the next problem a growing website runs into.

Is this for you?
You'll love this if you…
- like knowing how things work behind the screen
