Cloud & DevOps Architect

Linux runs the world's infrastructure. The servers that power the internet, the cloud platforms you deploy to, and most of the world's smartphones all run on Linux. Understanding it means understanding the environment where your code actually lives.

• Navigating and administering cloud servers
• Writing shell scripts to automate repetitive tasks
• Understanding file permissions, processes, and networking

Git is how software gets built without teams stepping on each other. It tracks every change ever made to a codebase, lets multiple people work on the same files simultaneously, and makes it possible to undo mistakes or experiment safely.

• Tracking code changes across the history of a project
• Collaborating with other developers without overwriting their work
• Creating branches to develop features in isolation

Docker solved the 'it works on my machine' problem. You package your application and everything it needs into a container that runs identically on a developer laptop, a test server, and production. Consistent environments, no surprises.

• Packaging applications so they run the same everywhere
• Running services locally without installing them natively
• Building CI/CD pipelines with repeatable environments

Kubernetes orchestrates containers at scale. When you go from one Docker container to hundreds across multiple servers, you need something to manage them, roll out updates, restart failures, balance load, and scale under pressure.

• Deploying containerised applications across a cluster
• Scaling services up and down automatically under load
• Rolling out new versions with zero downtime
