Career roadmap / Cloud engineering
Eight practical stages from Linux fundamentals to secure, observable production systems. Plan for roughly 6-8 months of steady study and project work.

Build the operating-system, collaboration, and cloud fundamentals that every later stage relies on.
Build confidence in the command line, system basics, and small scripts that remove repetitive work.
Project: Write a script that backs up a folder and removes copies older than seven days.
Make every application and infrastructure change reviewable, traceable, and safe to share.
Project: Contribute a focused change to an open-source project and work through its review cycle.
Understand the building blocks behind a production cloud environment and how they fit together.
Project: Host a static site on S3, then run an app on EC2 behind a load balancer.
Package software and automate reliable delivery from a code change to a running service.
Package applications and dependencies so development and deployment environments behave consistently.
Project: Containerize a web app and its database with Compose.
Automate the path from a reviewed code change to a tested, deployable release.
Project: Build a pipeline that tests, builds an image, and deploys on merge.
Operate containerized applications with repeatable deployments, health checks, and scaling.
Project: Deploy an app with Helm and perform a zero-downtime update.
Manage infrastructure through code, then observe and protect the systems you run.
Create and change infrastructure through versioned, reviewed configuration instead of manual setup.
Project: Provision a VPC and a Kubernetes cluster entirely from code.
Detect issues through useful signals, set service objectives, and reduce security risks in delivery.
Project: Build a dashboard and an alert for application latency.
