All Bootcamps (3)
HashiCorp Vault Security Bootcamp
Comprehensive 3-week bootcamp mastering HashiCorp Vault from fundamentals to advanced operations. Learn secrets management, Kubernetes integration, enterprise deployment, and prepare for certification.
AI Platform Engineering Bootcamp
š” Beta bootcamp: hands-on labs, transcripts, and quizzes are ready for all 8 weeks. Video lessons are coming soon. Content may be refined as we iterate based on student feedback. An 8-week intensive program designed to transition Platform Engineers into AI Platform Engineering and LLMOps roles. Build production-ready AI systems using LLMs, RAG, agents, and MLOps practices on Kubernetes infrastructure. The 8 weeks build toward a capstone Platform Assistant: a production-ready AI system that combines the LLM integration, RAG, agent, MLOps, model serving, and observability layers introduced across each week. Each course advances one layer of that capstone so you finish with a single coherent system, not a pile of disconnected exercises.
Platform Engineering Bootcamp
š” Beta bootcamp: hands-on labs, transcripts, and quizzes are ready for all 21 weeks. Video lessons are coming soon. Content may be refined as we iterate based on student feedback. Comprehensive 21-week bootcamp equipping engineers with essential and advanced Platform Engineering and DevOps skills using industry-standard tools and best practices. All 21 weeks share a continuous project called TaskFlow: a full-stack application that grows progressively as you add each new technology. Each week starts from the TaskFlow state produced in the previous week and extends it with the new layer covered in that course (containers, Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD, Vault, Istio, Backstage, and more). By the end you have built and operated a production-grade Internal Developer Platform end to end.

eBPF Exploration with Cilium
Explore eBPF programs used by Cilium, inspect BPF maps, understand datapath operations, and debug eBPF functionality.
Egress Gateway and BGP with Cilium
Configure egress gateways for controlled outbound traffic and implement BGP peering for external network integration.
Gateway API with Cilium
Configure Cilium as a Gateway API implementation, create HTTPRoutes, and manage ingress traffic.
Hubble Observability
Enable Hubble, use the CLI and UI to observe network flows, troubleshoot connectivity, and monitor application traffic.
Installing and Configuring Cilium
Install Cilium on a fresh Kubernetes cluster, configure key options, run connectivity tests, and verify the installation.
Layer 7 Network Policies
Implement HTTP-aware policies, path-based filtering, and method restrictions.
Implementing Cilium Network Policies
Create L3/L4 policies, test connectivity, implement deny-all baseline, and layer-specific rules.
All Puzzles (10)
Short, break-something-fix-it puzzles. Drop into a broken system, diagnose, fix, move on.
The Backup That Never Ran
The backup cron job "runs" every minute, but no files ever appear. Figure out why and make it work.
The Claim That Never Becomes Ready
A developer submitted a Crossplane claim two hours ago. It is still not Ready. Find out why and fix it.
Names Don't Resolve, But IPs Work
curl to 1.1.1.1 works, curl to cloudflare.com doesn't. Fix DNS resolution end-to-end.
The CrashLoopBackOff Trifecta
A pod is CrashLoopBackOff-ing for three different reasons stacked on top of each other. Fix all of them and get it Running.
Who Stole Port 80?
nginx won't start because something has port 80. Find the squatter, evict it cleanly, and get nginx serving again.
Runaway Process Eating Your Disk
/tmp is ballooning by the second and nobody knows why. Find the process responsible, kill it cleanly, and reclaim the space.
SSH Is Locked Out
A late-night sshd_config edit broke remote logins. Get SSH accepting connections again before the next on-call rotation.
Terraform State vs Reality
Someone renamed an S3 bucket and tagged an EC2 in the console. Now terraform apply fails. Reconcile state with reality without destroying the infrastructure.
Vault Policy Denies the App
The checkout app's Vault token can authenticate but can't read its own secret. Fix the policy.
