Free to start

Built for two kinds of engineer.

Same site, two different starting points.

Starting from zero

Never touched a terminal professionally? The roadmap's first pages assume nothing — not even that you know how to connect to a server. Work through it stage by stage and you'll know what to actually learn next, instead of guessing from a pile of random tutorials.

Prepping a certification

Already working in the field and studying for AWS, Azure, or CKA? Skip the roadmap — go straight to the question bank and cheat sheets for the exact stage you're being tested on, scenario-based rather than flashcard trivia.

See it for yourself.

Two real pieces of the actual site, not a mockup — try them right here.

An interview question, free in the question bank

Tap to see the real explanation.

A guide quiz question, from the free Linux getting-started page

In the prompt `alice@web-01:~$`, what do the `~` and the `$` tell you?

Everything in one structured system.

No more stitching together random blog posts and playlists — every resource sequenced and ready.

Stage-by-stage roadmap

A clear path from Linux fundamentals through cloud and monitoring, with progress tracking as you go.

Interview question bank

560 questions across every stage, weighted toward real scenarios — not just definitions to memorize.

Cheat sheets

One-page command and concept references to skim before an interview, not re-derive under pressure.

DevOps Tools guides

Deep, multi-page references for 20 tools — the kernel-level context and gotchas, not a quick cheat sheet.

And as you go deeper

Check Readiness

A self-graded, up-to-40-question practice test per stage, so you know what to review before the real thing.

Progress dashboard

Streaks, activity history, and a per-stage breakdown of exactly where you stand.

Practice Ground

Hands-on exercises: fix broken configs, read real incidents, and debug in a simulated terminal.

Production Blueprints

Twelve architecture diagrams with step-by-step walkthroughs: CI/CD, Kubernetes, Terraform, networking, security, and a full DevOps path on each of Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.

Automation Scripts

Real, explained scripts across Python, Shell, PowerShell, Go, C, Groovy, Java and JavaScript — what each one does and what to change before you run it, not a snippet dump.

Here's what your first session looks like.

Not a feature list — the actual loop, on one topic, in one sitting.

Pick a stage
Start at Linux, or jump straight to whatever you're weakest on — the roadmap is yours to work in any order.
Read the guide
A deep, multi-page reference for that tool — real commands, real gotchas, not a quick cheat sheet you've already seen.
Take the quiz
Three questions at the end of each guide page, with a reason given for every option — pass it and the page marks itself complete.
Practice it for real
Fix a broken config, diagnose a real incident from its logs, or work a problem in a simulated terminal — no cloud account needed.
Check your readiness
A full-length, self-graded practice test for that stage, so you know exactly what to review before the real interview.

A roadmap that actually makes sense.

Each stage builds on the last — no guessing what's next. Tap a card to find out why it matters.

stage 01

Linux

Here's why →

Every server, every container, every cloud instance runs on it. Master the shell and you'll debug production issues faster than engineers with years more experience.

stage 02

Windows

Here's why →

Enterprise IT still runs on it — IIS, Active Directory, Group Policy. Skip it and you've ruled yourself out of half the DevOps jobs in finance, healthcare, and government.

stage 03

Networking

Here's why →

The invisible layer behind every outage that isn't "the code." Understand it and you'll be the one in the room who actually knows why the request failed.

stage 04

Git

Here's why →

Version control isn't optional — it's the paper trail of every team you'll ever join. Learn it properly once, use it for the rest of your career.

stage 05

Scripting

Here's why →

The difference between doing a task once and automating it forever. Python and Shell scripting turn you from an operator into an engineer.

stage 06

CI/CD

Here's why →

Ship code with confidence, not fear. Every modern engineering team lives inside a pipeline — learn to build one and you're instantly more hireable.

stage 07

GitHub Actions

Here's why →

The pipeline that lives right next to your code. Build, test, scan and deploy on every push, with no stored cloud keys, and you can show it working in a public repo.

stage 08

Docker

Here's why →

Containers changed how the entire industry ships software. If you can't explain a Dockerfile in an interview, you're not ready yet.

stage 09

Kubernetes

Here's why →

The single most-asked-about skill in DevOps interviews right now. Understand Pods, Services, and Deployments, and most interviews get a lot less scary.

stage 10

Helm

Here's why →

Raw Kubernetes YAML gets copy-pasted until environments drift apart. Helm is how real teams package, version and roll back an application, and it's a standard interview follow-up to "do you know Kubernetes?"

stage 11

Cloud

Here's why →

AWS, Azure, GCP — pick your battlefield. Cloud fundamentals are the baseline every DevOps job description already assumes you have.

stage 12

Terraform

Here's why →

Click-ops doesn't scale, and interviewers know it. Terraform is how real teams build infrastructure — and how you prove you think in code, not clicks.

stage 13

Ansible

Here's why →

Configuration drift kills production systems quietly. Ansible is how experienced teams keep a thousand servers exactly the way they're supposed to be.

stage 14

Monitoring

Here's why →

You can't fix what you can't see. Observability turns a 3am panic into a 5-minute fix — it's what separates junior from senior.

Certificates

Exam-by-exam study paths for AWS, Azure, GCP and AI/Claude, mapped to the guides you already have.

Using Claude and other AI tools for real DevOps work — troubleshooting, prompting, and infrastructure code.

Built to be actually useful.

Scenario-based, not just definitions

Most questions describe a real situation — a production incident, a broken pipeline — and ask what you'd actually do.

Depth over a quick cheat sheet

Each tool guide is a multi-page deep dive, not a one-page command list you've already seen a dozen times.

One structured path

Stages build on each other in order, so you always know what to learn next instead of guessing.
