What Is Cloud & Infrastructure?#
Cloud and infrastructure engineering covers the tools and practices for deploying, scaling, and operating software in production environments. This track takes you from cloud computing fundamentals through CI/CD pipelines and microservices patterns to production observability.
What You Will Learn#
Foundations — Cloud computing concepts, Docker containerization, and microservices architecture
Applied — Core AWS services, CI/CD pipelines, and code quality with SonarQube
Integration — API Gateway patterns and asynchronous communication between services
Advanced — Distributed transaction patterns (SAGA), Redis caching, observability with Jaeger/Kibana/Grafana, and end-to-end debugging
Cheatsheets — Quick-reference pages for AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD patterns, and managed ML services
Exams — Summative theory and project assessments
Prerequisites#
Basic programming knowledge. Familiarity with Python web development is helpful.
