LEARNING PATH
Automation Engineer
Turn an operational task into a reviewed, tested, recoverable change: learn Linux, version your work with Git, write scripts and API clients, then manage configuration and infrastructure.
What you will be able to do
- Inspect Linux systems and network failures before automating them.
- Use Git to review, test, release, and recover a focused change.
- Write validated Bash and Python automation with useful failure behavior.
- Integrate APIs with bounded reads, safe credentials, and conditional writes.
- Use Ansible for configuration and Terraform for declared infrastructure, with clear ownership boundaries.
- Deliver a reviewed change, prove convergence, detect drift, and hand over a verified recovery.
Work through each subject’s free foundations, then its practical course before moving to the next subject. This is a recommended sequence; foundations can be skipped with acknowledgment on the course page. Practical-course prerequisites still apply. Previously saved curricula and purchased access stay as they were when you added them.
