[COURSE DESCRIPTION]:
The magic of this class is putting it all together. Not a deep dive on individual tools. Instead we'll overview each and then focus on how to link them to create a service tool chain and end up with a comprehensive CI/CD solution that actually deploys to "prod"... in a pro-social environment with experienced teachers to guide through labs and pair/share exercises.

We'll use Linux, Bash, Git, Gitlab, Docker, Kubernetes on AWS to create minimum viable DevOps continuous integration pipelines.

Linux/Bash Basics - minimum for class purposes

Git and Gitlab - including: basic functions, GitLab API and continuous integration features

Docker - terms, test, Dockerfile, Docker build, Docker run, make webserver w/ Docker

AWS EKS infrastructure on free tier - create a Kubernetes cluster, launch and make changes.

[Q&A]:

Q: Who is this class for?

A: LEARNERS who are one or more of the following (no particular order):

• MID-CAREER IT PROS - update skill set, fill gaps, continuous learning
• TEACHERS OF IT OR ASPIRING - regardless of IT skill level, your interest is in the idea of teaching as a way of learning, networking with the like-minded
• DEVELOPERS - want or need to understand the IT infrastructure part of the equation better for career development
• CURIOUS - would like a gentle hands-on intro to determine if this is a good career path... don't want to rely solely on google or other online tutorials to figure that out
• TEAM MANAGERS - take or send someone to the class - even if you're not on the keyboard as much, this will be beneficial

employers will often pay for this kind of learning if asked
