Build Real Infrastructure Skills That Actually Matter
Working with containers isn't about memorizing commands. It's about understanding how systems breathe, scale, and recover when things break. Because they will break. Our approach focuses on the messy reality of production environments where you'll actually spend your time.
See How We Teach
We Don't Pretend Complexity Disappears
Most programs teach you the happy path. Start a container, it runs perfectly, everyone celebrates. But that's not what you'll face six months into a job when storage fills up or networking configs conflict.
Our curriculum includes the uncomfortable parts. You'll manage space manually when automated cleanup fails. You'll learn to reduce system data when monitoring alerts fire at 3am. And you'll understand how to clear space safely without taking down production services.
This matters because junior engineers often inherit legacy systems nobody documented properly. You need skills that work when documentation is outdated or missing entirely.
Real infrastructure work means keeping only essentials when resources get tight. We teach you how to make those calls without panic.
What You'll Actually Do Here
Skip the theory lectures. Our program starts with working systems and lets you break them in controlled ways.
Infrastructure That Reflects Real Constraints
You'll work with environments that have realistic resource limits. No unlimited cloud budgets or perfect network conditions. Learn to optimize when hardware matters and diagnose issues that only appear under load.
Projects With Actual Consequences
Your deployments will affect other students' services. That creates the kind of careful decision-making production work requires. You'll learn to test thoroughly because breaking someone's database isn't just theoretical.
Documentation You'll Write Yourself
Nobody hands you perfect runbooks in real jobs. You'll create operational guides for your own deployments and discover what information actually helps during incidents versus what just adds noise.
Troubleshooting Without Perfect Logs
Sometimes logs are incomplete or misleading. You'll practice working backwards from symptoms using multiple diagnostic approaches. This builds confidence when documentation or monitoring gaps appear in production.
Learn From People Who've Broken Things At Scale
Our instructors have made every embarrassing mistake possible in production. That's valuable. They know which errors are learning experiences and which ones indicate fundamental gaps in understanding.
You won't get textbook examples disconnected from reality. Instead, you'll hear about the time someone accidentally deleted customer data, how they recovered, and what systems they built to prevent it happening again.
This kind of hard-won knowledge shapes better engineers than perfect demonstrations ever could.
Meet The Team
Stellan Bergqvist
Spent eight years managing container platforms for financial services. Teaches the disaster recovery module after personally experiencing three major outages.
Vesna Kolarova
Former platform engineer who migrated legacy systems to containerized infrastructure. Knows exactly where traditional approaches fail with modern architectures.
Your Projects Will Look Like Real Work
We don't assign toy problems. You'll build services that need monitoring, handle actual traffic patterns, and require maintenance. The projects section shows what previous students deployed and operated successfully.
September 2025 Cohort
Next intensive program begins late summer. Applications open in June with technical screening for admitted students.
Flexible Schedule
Evening sessions designed for working professionals. Lab access available 24/7 for hands-on practice outside class hours.
Real Equipment Access
Work with actual server hardware, not just cloud instances. Understanding physical constraints builds better infrastructure decisions.
