The DevOps Topics Every Engineer Needs
Twelve foundational areas that make up a real DevOps skill set, from the command line up through production-grade Kubernetes and real-world project work. Pick a topic and go deep.
12 core topics
Hands-on examples
Bootcamp-aligned
These twelve topics form the actual backbone of the DevOps curriculum we teach in our bootcamp, and the same order most engineers learn them in on the job: start with the command line and scripting fundamentals, move into version control and CI/CD, layer in containers and orchestration, add infrastructure as code and configuration management, then round it out with cloud platforms, security, observability, and real project work that ties everything together.
Explore Every Topic
Linux and Command Line
The shell fundamentals every DevOps task is built on top of.
Bash Scripting
Automate the repetitive tasks that eat a DevOps engineer’s week.
Git and GitHub
Version control workflows that every deploy pipeline depends on.
CI/CD Pipelines
Build, test, and deploy automation, from a first pipeline to production.
Docker and Containers
Package applications consistently from a laptop to production.
Kubernetes
Orchestrate containers at scale, the way most production systems actually run.
Terraform and Infrastructure as Code
Provision and version cloud infrastructure the same way you version code.
Ansible
Configuration management and automation without agents to install.
AWS for DevOps
The core AWS services every DevOps engineer touches day to day.
DevSecOps Fundamentals
Bake security into the pipeline instead of bolting it on at the end.
Monitoring and Observability
Know what’s happening in production before your customers tell you.
Real-World DevOps Projects
Portfolio-ready builds that tie every other topic together.
