Start your MiniCamp journey with an engaging lecture delivered by industry-leading DevOps experts, designed to expand your knowledge in one of today’s most sought-after skills: GitOps. This session will equip you with practical insights and best practices that are essential for modern infrastructure automation.
Following the lecture, you'll embark on a hands-on project where you'll build a fully functional GitOps pipeline to deploy AWS infrastructure using Terraform. This project will give you real-world experience in automating cloud infrastructure the GitOps way.
Throughout the MiniCamp, you’ll receive the support needed to succeed. Participants who choose a paid plan will enjoy additional benefits, including project grading and access to a private Discord channel where expert mentors will provide exclusive guidance and personalized feedback.
What you will learn in the GitOps Minicamp
In this MiniCamp, we'll set up a scenario and explain the concepts, skills, and pitfalls you may encounter while creating GitOps Pipelines.
Some of the skills you'll learn:
- Modify Terraform code using built-in testing and validation features to ensure resilient and reliable deployments.
- Configure GitHub actions to process and push collaborative infrastructure code.
- Store and retrieve secrets securely.
- Add guardrails using Open Policy Agent (OPA) policies to ensure deployments adhere to security and cost constraints.
- Use multiple third-party tools, such as TFLint and Infracost to provide additional checks before deployments.
- And more!
All of this will be learned while deploying a realistic project that can be used for your own portfolio or to help sharpen your skills in your current career!
