   - VPC and security groups
   - cost and billing alerts

5. CI/CD
   - build, test, deploy
   - environment separation
   - pipeline security basics

6. Kubernetes
   - pods, deployments, services
   - config maps and secrets
   - rolling updates

7. Terraform
   - providers and resources
   - state files and modules
   - plan and apply workflow

8. Monitoring
   - metrics and dashboards
   - basic alerting
   - log review

Module checklist before enrolling:

□ Does every module end with a lab or project?
□ Is Git taught with real workflows?
□ Are Docker and Kubernetes taught separately?
□ Is AWS taught with hands-on accounts?
□ Does CI/CD include pipelines, not just theory?
□ Is Terraform taught with state management?
□ Is monitoring included, not optional?
□ Is there a final end-to-end project?

Warning signs to avoid:
- tool lists without labs
- Docker only in theory
- no Git workflow practice
- no final project
- no interview preparation

Final project — full pipeline:

Goal:
Ship a small web app from code to running
container in the cloud, with monitoring.

Steps:
1. App in Git with a Dockerfile
2. CI pipeline builds and tests the image
3. Image pushed to a registry
4. Terraform creates the infrastructure
5. Kubernetes or ECS runs the container
6. Prometheus scrapes metrics
7. Grafana shows a dashboard
8. README explains every step

Deliverable:
- GitHub repo with code and pipelines
- Terraform files
- Kubernetes manifests
- Dashboard screenshot
- README with setup instructions

This single project covers almost every
interview question about DevOps end to end.

Lab cleanup checklist (avoid surprise bills):

After every cloud lab:
□ Stop EC2 instances
□ Delete unused EBS volumes
□ Empty and delete S3 buckets you created
□ Remove load balancers
□ Delete Kubernetes clusters
□ Remove unused IAM users and roles
□ Check the billing dashboard

In the course:
□ Confirm cleanup instructions exist per lab
□ Confirm you have your own cloud account
□ Confirm billing alerts are set up in
  the first week

Cost discipline is part of DevOps work.
Labs that teach this are more valuable
than labs that skip it.

Typical inclusions in the DevOps fee:

Included:
- classroom or online instructor-led sessions
- lab access and course materials
- project reviews
- placement assistance
- batch repeats within a window

Usually NOT included:
- cloud account charges (AWS, Azure, etc.)
- certification exam fees
- additional one-to-one mentoring beyond
  what is in the syllabus

Ask for the total cost including:
- programme fee
- cloud costs for labs
- certification exam fee
- any optional modules

Questions to ask before paying:

□ What is the total fee, including taxes?
□ Which cloud account do I use for labs?
□ Are cloud costs included or extra?
□ Are certification exam fees included?
□ Can I repeat a batch if I miss sessions?
□ What is the refund policy?
□ Is there an EMI or installment option?
□ What exactly does placement support include?
□ How many mock interviews do I get?
□ Can I speak to recent students?

Compare answers across two or three
providers before deciding. The cheapest
option is rarely the best value.

Certification study plan (6 weeks):

Weeks 1-2 — Exam guide and syllabus
- read the official exam guide once
- map each topic to a course module
- list your weakest areas

Weeks 3-4 — Hands-on practice
- complete the labs again without notes
- repeat cloud deployments from scratch
- practise command-line workflows

Weeks 5 — Practice tests
- one timed practice test per week
- review every wrong answer
- redo labs for weak areas

Week 6 — Final review
- redo practice tests
- revise notes
- book the exam

Do not skip the hands-on phase.
Practice tests confirm knowledge;
they do not build it.

Practice checklist before booking the exam:

□ I can complete the main lab without notes
□ I understand every command I typed
□ I have scored 80%+ on a practice test
□ I know the exam format and time limit
□ I know what happens if I fail (retake)
□ My cloud account has billing alerts
□ I have budgeted for the exam fee

Avoid:
- booking the exam before labs are done
- relying only on videos
- ignoring weak areas
- skipping practice tests

Certification is a milestone, not the goal.
The goal is being able to explain what
you built and why.
