Cloud and DevOps Engineering

The release habits taken further: infrastructure described in code, monitored services, and the incident routines that keep a system honest when real traffic arrives.

This programme sits inside Technology, one of the four study areas in the wider Programmes catalogue.

What the training covers.

Every session runs as a workshop, not a lecture. You practise the routines of the job until they are second nature, with instructors who have done them for a living.

Apply via Student Applicant
  • 01 Infrastructure as code: declaring a network, a database, and a service in files
  • 02 CI/CD pipelines that gate a release on tests, checks, and review
  • 03 Deployment strategies: rolling, blue-green, canary, and when each is wrong
  • 04 Observability: logs, metrics, traces, and alerts that carry enough to act on
  • 05 Incident response: triage, communication, and the record afterwards
  • 06 Designing for the day a whole region goes away, and for the bill that follows
