Stage 1: The Operating System Understand how Linux/Bash:
Foundation & Code servers work and Command-Line
(Prerequisite Skills) manage code Interface (CLI) and
changes. basic scripting. Git:
Version Control

automation tasks.
Stage 2: The Cloud Computing Understand and AWS or Azure or
Environment (The provision GCP: (Pick One)
"Where" - Cloud) infrastructure on a Focus on basic
public cloud. services (VMs,
Storage,
Networking).
Terraform:
Infrastructure as
Code (IaC) to
manage the Cloud.
Stage 3: Packaging Containerization Package Docker: Create and
& Portability (The applications and manage containers
