Overview

This programme teaches how modern engineering teams design, build, and operate production-grade platforms using cloud-native technologies. You will work on real infrastructure problems — not toy examples — and graduate with a complete internal developer platform you built yourself.

⚙️

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform, GitOps, and environment automation at scale.

☸️

Kubernetes Platform

From fundamentals to advanced operator patterns and service mesh.

📊

Observability & Reliability

Metrics, logs, traces, SLOs, and production incident response.

🤖

AI-Assisted Operations

Use AI to debug, generate infrastructure, and summarise incidents.

What You Will Learn

- Design scalable platform architectures for real organisations - Build CI/CD and GitOps deployment pipelines from scratch - Operate Kubernetes platforms in production with confidence - Implement full-stack observability and reliability engineering - Build internal developer platforms that give teams self-service infrastructure - Debug production incidents using structured runbooks and tooling - Optimise infrastructure cost with FinOps practices - Implement platform governance, security scanning, and compliance controls - Use AI tools to accelerate every part of the platform engineering workflow
