DEVOPS · CAREER TRACK

Make software delivery repeatable and understandable.

Follow an application from a code change to a tested release. Learn how version control, environments, automation and operational checks fit together, and how to recover when a release fails.

THE SHORT ANSWER

What is DevOps as a career track?

DevOps is a mentor-led career track. Its focus: Make building, testing and deploying software repeatable. First roles to search for include DevOps Trainee, Junior DevOps Engineer, Release Assistant. Level 1 takes 3 months at ₹30,000 including GST, with no prerequisite. Coding: Git, Linux and basic scripting; some application familiarity.

WHO THIS TRACK SUITS

Is DevOps right for you?

People who like making software delivery repeatable: version control, automated checks, releases you can roll back.

Students
Suits students who already write some code and want to learn how it gets built and shipped. Your first project puts one application through a pipeline.
Freshers
Builds toward DevOps, which is usually a second role: the track prepares you for development, release and infrastructure support roles first.
Working professionals
The most common move for developers and testers who want to own delivery. Your project pipelines an application like the ones you work on.
Look elsewhere if
If you want to run cloud infrastructure rather than automate delivery, look at Cloud Computing.
Coding
Git, Linux and basic scripting; some application familiarity.
Mathematics
Basic numeracy for durations, failure rates and resource use.
Before you start
Practise terminal navigation and running a small application locally. Learn what a process, port and environment variable do.
WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON

What will you learn in DevOps?

You learn these areas from recommended external courses; your mentor sets the practice and reviews the work.

1

Git and Linux

Understand code history, collaboration and basic server workflows.

2

Docker environments

Describe and reproduce an application's runtime environment.

3

CI/CD fundamentals

Connect code changes with automated checks and controlled release steps.

4

Releases and operations

Document deployments, monitoring checks and response to a failed release.

TOOLS AND SETUP

What tools do you need for DevOps?

Linux, Git, Docker and one CI service (GitHub Actions or equivalent). Kubernetes is introduced at the later levels. All free to set up.

MENTORSHIP & REVISIONS

Bring your thinking to the review.

Demonstrate a failed check as well as a successful release. Review reproducibility, permissions, secrets, deployment approval and whether rollback restores the intended version.

LEVELS IN THIS TRACK

How long does DevOps take, and what does each level add?

Level 1 (3 months): small assignments and your first DevOps project, reviewed until it holds up. Level 2 (6 months): one larger project with revisions; resume review and mock interviews begin. Level 3 (6 months): a bigger project, portfolio guidance and application guidance for the roles you choose. Level 4 (6 months): a multi-part project with 1-on-1 reviews and system design and architecture review; aimed at working professionals switching direction. Every level is ₹30,000 including GST, bought one at a time.

PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE

What projects will you build in DevOps?

Illustrative briefs set by mentors for practice, built on synthetic or appropriately licensed data. Your mentor sets your actual project to fit your level.

Illustrative project 01

Tested application pipeline

Catch a broken change before it reaches a sample deployment.

Sample inputs
A small application you own with a meaningful test and a disposable runner environment.
Your tasks
Create a branch, run checks on changes, deliberately fail a test and prevent release until it passes.
What to deliver
A repository, pipeline file and recorded pass/fail evidence.
Quality checks
Do not expose secrets in logs; verify the failed test genuinely stops deployment.
Interview discussion
Explain why a green pipeline does not prove every production behaviour is correct.
Illustrative project 02

Reproducible container setup

Run a sample application consistently on another machine.

Sample inputs
A small app, dependency manifest and synthetic configuration.
Your tasks
Build an image, define startup behaviour, document ports and run without embedding secrets.
What to deliver
A container definition, setup guide and reproducibility record.
Quality checks
Check permissions, dependency pinning and whether the image starts from a clean environment.
Interview discussion
Explain what containers isolate and what still depends on the host.
Illustrative project 03

Release and rollback rehearsal

Restore a previous working version after a deliberately broken test release.

Sample inputs
Two tagged versions of a disposable app and a health check.
Your tasks
Release the working version, simulate a bad release, detect failure and restore the earlier version.
What to deliver
A release runbook, incident timeline and retrospective.
Quality checks
Use a local or authorised staging environment. Clean up resources and consider data compatibility before rollback.
Interview discussion
Explain why rolling back code may not reverse a database change.
FIRST ROLES, HONESTLY

What jobs can DevOps lead to?

DevOps Engineer is usually a second role in India, after a year or two in development, testing or operations. The track builds toward it honestly: your first roles are development, release support or infrastructure support, with a working pipeline as proof.

Supporting builds, investigating pipeline failures and maintaining deployment documentation. Explore DevOps trainee, release assistant and deployment support roles; ownership of production reliability usually requires experience.

We do not guarantee eligibility, interviews or employment.

YOUR PORTFOLIO

Make your contribution visible.

A repository with a working pipeline, container setup, release checklist, rollback procedure and operational notes.

PRACTISE THE CONVERSATION

What you will be asked about this work.

The questions attached to each project brief are the ones a mentor asks in review and an interviewer asks later. From Level 2, you rehearse them in mock interviews.

  1. 1

    ABOUT “TESTED APPLICATION PIPELINE”

    Explain why a green pipeline does not prove every production behaviour is correct.

  2. 2

    ABOUT “REPRODUCIBLE CONTAINER SETUP”

    Explain what containers isolate and what still depends on the host.

  3. 3

    ABOUT “RELEASE AND ROLLBACK REHEARSAL”

    Explain why rolling back code may not reverse a database change.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS TRACK

Before you choose DevOps.

Is DevOps a single tool?

No. It involves collaboration, delivery practices and operational feedback, supported by tools such as Git and CI systems.

Should I know Linux first?

Basic navigation, permissions and process inspection make the exercises easier. Build these skills before complex pipelines.

Is Docker the same as a virtual machine?

No. Containers generally share the host kernel; virtual machines provide separate guest operating systems.

Does CI mean automatic production deployment?

No. Continuous integration automates integration checks. Production deployment can still require approval.

Do I need Kubernetes to start?

No. Begin with one application, reproducible setup and a simple tested delivery process. Advanced tools should solve an actual need.

Can I practise on a live company server?

Use your own or explicitly authorised learning environment. Do not change production systems for a portfolio exercise.

What if a pipeline passes but the service fails?

Investigate health checks, configuration and runtime behaviour. Automated tests cover only the conditions they actually exercise.

What should I discuss in a release interview?

Walk through a change, the checks, approval, deployment, observation and a tested recovery procedure.
