Today's Office Hours Recap – AWS Cohort & RealOps Updates
In today's call, we addressed ongoing updates and improvements in the AWS Cohort, platform access, and the RealOps community:
AWS Cohort Enrolment Issues: Many students experienced issues enrolling in the AWS cohort due to plugin conflicts. We're working closely with developers to address this and are handling enrolments manually for now. If you’re facing issues, fill out the provided form for backend support.
Flagship Program Overview: The DevOps Career Accelerator, our intensive six-month program, was highlighted. Covering core DevOps skills in AWS, Terraform, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, and Python, this program aims to build comprehensive DevOps expertise through live cohorts, hands-on projects, and an accountability system requiring a 10-15 hour weekly commitment.
Membership Plan Updates: For clarity and ease, Geek members retain access to foundational courses, while Nerd members benefit from a wider range of resources. We’re also offering a pathway to upgrade to the flagship program for more advanced learning opportunities.
Gamification and Accountability: An accountability sheet was introduced, requiring weekly updates to track progress, and we announced a point-based system rewarding learning hours and project completion. Weekly open-book exams will also be introduced to reinforce learning and track performance.
RealOps Network & Certification: Rebranding efforts were shared, including the RealOps Network as our community name. We’re evolving the platform towards a university-like experience, including credentialing and certification based on real-world projects.
Substack as a Resource Hub: We’ve launched our Substack at School of DevOps to centralize resources, podcast episodes, and exclusive content such as the "VPC Basics" series. Subscribe to stay updated on all our office hours, articles, and DevOps resources.
