 Master the DevOps Game
Go from Zero to DevOps Professional

Level 1 - DevOps Pre-Requisites

Many newcomers to Cloud and DevOps struggle due to a lack of foundational
knowledge. These modules bridge that gap by providing essential foundational
knowledge of Linux, Git, and build tools, which are critical for any DevOps
engineer.

Level 2 - DevOps Fundamentals

Now, your DevOps journey really starts. These are really the non-negotiable skills
for a DevOps engineer. You will be learning Cloud basics and gaining hands-on
experience working with remote VMs in the Cloud, as well as artifact repositories
with Nexus and containerization with Docker.

Level 3 - DevOps Core

Here we take your skills to an advanced level and speed up your career growth.
You will be learning CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration with K8s, complex
cloud infrastructure with AWS, K8s on AWS with EKS and building multiple real
life capstone projects with all of the tools you have learned in each of the previous
modules.

Level 4 - DevOps Advanced

Elevate to an expert level by mastering 4 tools of automating every part of your
systems! Terraform for infrastructure, Ansible for configuration management, Python
for any kind of smaller flexible task automation and finally monitoring with
Prometheus for detecting and alerting any issues in your systems automatically.

We prepared a helpful study guide for each learning phase,

so you can keep on track more easily

www.techworld-with-nana.com
 Recommended Schedule
Complete each level in a total of 6 months, with
an estimated 15 hours / week

www.techworld-with-nana.com
 Note on
Recommended Schedule

Being a self-paced program, you can adjust your learning

schedule to your work and life responsibilities.

So the speed you work through the

bootcamp is totally up to you.

We have students, who completed the bootcamp in 3-4

months, working full-time on it (here an example)

IMPORTANT: No matter, how fast you’re working through.

Important is to stay CONSISTENT and make progress weekly,
instead of having huge breaks in between

 Note on keeping our
bootcamp up-to-date

Why?

We’ve all been there—struggling through outdated courses or tutorials that

waste our time and money. It’s frustrating and unproductive

So from day 1, we made it a core principle of our programs to keep our

curriculum fresh and relevant and fully focused on delivering the best
learning experience for our students

1) Continuous Urgent Fixes:

When a demo breaks, e.g. when a new technology version is released, we jump
on it immediately. Whether it’s fixing broken demos or addressing compatibility
issues, these updates ensure you’re never stuck with something that doesn’t
work.

2) Complete Bootcamp Updates

Beyond fixes, we periodically re-record the entire bootcamp to incorporate the

latest technology versions—whether the content still works or not. This
proactive approach ensures that you’re always learning with the most
up-to-date tools.

Each year, thousands of new students join us and our goal of getting them
job-ready stays the same. So it’s our responsibility to ensure our programs
stay up-to-date and aligned with real-world needs to help them achieve
that!
