Who it is for
Who it is aimed at.
- Technicians and administrators who have already administered servers and a network — in practice, those who have completed Network administrator or Cloud and backup technician. Ease with the command line is essential; no programming experience is required.
Afterwards
Where it leads.
- Automated infrastructure administrator, operations engineer, first DevOps-oriented role. This is the block that takes you from repeated manual work to reproducible infrastructure.
Method
How it works.
Systematic alternation between short theory sessions and practical work, with most of the time spent on practice
Progression from simple to complex: each module builds on what was learnt in the previous one
Realistic role-plays drawn from Cameroonian business cases
Considered use of generative AI as a working tool, in line with the common core
Regular formative assessments and a final integrative project drawing on all four modules
Assessment
How you are assessed.
Formative assessment at the end of each module (graded role-play and practical exercises)
Practical work assessed against competency sheets
Final integrative project, presented and defended before the trainer
One graded assignment per module in the online course space
Tools
What you work with.
Git — versioning of tooling and infrastructure descriptions
Ansible — agentless configuration management
Terraform — infrastructure description and state management
Kubernetes (local k3s- or kind-type cluster) — container orchestration
Prometheus and Grafana — metrics, dashboards and alerts
PowerShell and Bash for operations scripts
