Description
DevOps to Platform Engineering: Build Scalable Internal Developer Platforms
Are you a DevOps engineer tired of managing pipelines, handling repetitive infrastructure tasks, and constantly firefighting production issues? This course is designed to help you take the next step in your career-transitioning from DevOps to Platform Engineering while strengthening your fundamentals in DevOps, GitOps, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
We start by building a strong foundation. You will learn essential DevOps concepts, CI/CD practices, GitOps principles, and how to use Infrastructure as Code to create consistent, repeatable environments. These fundamentals are critical to understanding how modern systems are built and managed at scale.
From there, the course moves into Platform Engineering-the natural evolution of DevOps. While DevOps improves collaboration and delivery speed, it often struggles to scale across multiple teams. Developers still face challenges like complex infrastructure, inconsistent environments, and manual processes. Platform Engineering solves this by enabling self-service through Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs).
You will learn how to design and build these platforms using tools like Kubernetes, GitOps workflows, and Crossplane for infrastructure abstraction. The course also covers creating "golden paths" to standardize workflows, improving developer experience, and reducing cognitive load across teams. In addition, you will explore how to integrate DevSecOps practices into CI/CD pipelines to ensure secure and reliable delivery.
This is a practical, real-world focused course. You will gain insights into how platform teams operate as product teams, how to design scalable systems, and how to implement solutions that work in production-not just in theory.
This course is ideal for DevOps engineers, SREs, cloud engineers, and technical leaders who want to move beyond managing infrastructure and start building platforms that empower entire organizations.
By the end of this course, you will be able to design and implement scalable, secure, and developer-friendly platforms-positioning yourself for the next evolution in modern engineering.
Who this course is for
■ Folks looking to learn DevOps/GitOps
■ DevOps Engineers looking to level up
■ SREs who want to build platforms instead of managing tickets
■ Tech leads and architects designing scalable platforms
■ People looking to learn Platform Engineering and IDP.
