What you'll learn

CloudCraft: AWS, Azure, DevOps & Cloud-Native Engineering is a hands-on, 50-hour beginner-to-intermediate course designed to equip learners with practical cloud and DevOps skills across the modern tech stack. Spanning 5 weeks, the course takes students from foundational cloud concepts — including AWS core services (S3, VPC, RDS, IAM) and Microsoft Azure — through real-world engineering tools like Linux, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, and serverless computing with AWS Lambda. Each week builds progressively, combining conceptual understanding with live labs and hands-on projects. Two code-based evaluations and a final capstone project round out the learning, giving students tangible deliverables to showcase. Curated self-learning resources, MOOC links, and sample projects make this course a complete launchpad for anyone pursuing a career in cloud engineering or DevOps.

  • Introduction to cloud computing models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), AWS account setup, IAM, S3 storage, VPC networking, and AWS databases (RDS & DynamoDB).
  • Hands-on with Azure Portal, Virtual Machines, App Services, Blob Storage, Cosmos DB, and Azure networking concepts including VNet and NSG.
  • Linux terminal basics, shell scripting, and Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible for automated cloud resource provisioning.
  • Introduction to Docker, building images with Dockerfiles, and Kubernetes fundamentals including Pods, Deployments, and deploying apps on a K8s cluster.
  • Building end-to-end CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, introduction to serverless architecture using AWS Lambda and API Gateway, and automated deployment workflows.
  • IAM security best practices, secrets management, cloud monitoring with CloudWatch, cost optimisation strategies, and a final capstone project deploying a fully functional cloud-native application.
