Become a Linux Engineer with Modern DevOps Skills

Build the Linux foundation first, then connect it to Git, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, automation, CI/CD, GitOps, observability and security.

THE PROGRAM

Why Linux + DevOps?

Modern infrastructure roles often combine Linux administration with automation, cloud, containers and delivery tooling. This program is designed around that connection instead of treating each tool as an isolated topic.

The roadmap is intentionally selective: connected projects and production-style incidents take priority over collecting a long list of tools.

8-Week Roadmap

  • Trivy Security Gate in CI
WEEK 08

DevSecOps + Incident Response + Capstone

  • Integrate GitHub, GitHub Actions, Docker, ECR, Terraform, EKS, Helm and Argo CD
  • Prometheus/Grafana observability and DevSecOps controls
  • Incident lifecycle: detect, triage, mitigate, resolve, validate, RCA and prevention
  • Runbooks, postmortems, architecture presentation and interview scenarios
Capstone:
  • Production Application Deployment & Operations Platform
  • War rooms covering broken deployment, application/performance and infrastructure/GitOps failures
LINUX FOUNDATION

The Linux Curriculum Still Stays at the Core

Linux Administration
Architecture, filesystem, users/groups, permissions, ACLs, processes, packages, SSH, systemd and journald.
Storage & Recovery
Filesystems, LVM, XFS, fstab failures, disk-full incidents, inode exhaustion and deleted-open files.
Boot & Kernel Recovery
Boot sequence, GRUB, emergency mode, initramfs, kernel troubleshooting and recovery methodology.
Networking & Infrastructure
IP, routing, DNS, DHCP, SSH, ports, NFS, PXE/Kickstart and multi-tier infrastructure.
Production Troubleshooting
CPU, memory, OOM, I/O wait, D-state, zombies, service failures and root-cause analysis.
Security, Automation & AI
SELinux, SSH hardening, firewall, Shell/Python automation and AI-assisted Linux health monitoring with Ollama/Qwen.
HOW WE TEACH

Not Just Follow-the-Recipe Labs

Each session combines concepts, guided hands-on work, production scenarios, break/fix incidents and interview recap. Students are expected to collect evidence, identify root cause, fix the issue, validate the result and explain what happened.

BuildGet the first working implementation running.
BreakIntroduce realistic infrastructure failures.
ExplainTurn the incident into interview-ready engineering language.
DELIVERABLES

What You Build During the Program

  • Clean Git repository with meaningful commits and README
  • Architecture diagrams showing traffic flow, components and dependencies
  • Working implementations instead of screenshot-only projects
  • Troubleshooting notes with symptom, evidence, root cause, fix and validation
  • RCA and prevention actions for incidents
  • Runbooks another engineer can use
  • 2–5 minute interview explanations for completed projects
