CONNECT THE CONCEPTS

Explore the systems behind DevSecOps.

The roadmap above shows how the subjects connect. Explore the curriculum below for every topic, lab and project.

EXPERIENCE THE ROLE

See what a DevOps Engineer really does, minute by minute.

Watch a real-world incident unfold on the engineer’s screens and in a 3D model of the systems they look after. Then type the commands yourself and try the same task in a lab.

LIVE SHIFT

A release is stuck: the pipeline is red

CI pipeline · main
  1. Build
  2. Test
  3. Push image
  4. Deploy
Run #482 · triggered by a merge to main
✗ Test stage failed after 1m 12s

    My release is blocked, the pipeline is red. Can you take a look?

The pipeline fails

A developer pushed a new feature, but the automated pipeline failed at the test stage. Nothing can be released until it is green.

You learn this in the program: CI/CD · GitHub Actions / Jenkins

Illustrative shift based on common real-world incidents. Names, times and numbers are examples.

YOUR TURN

Type the commands yourself, and get an honest answer about AI.

AI REALITY CHECK · DEVOPS ENGINEER

AI writes boilerplate; reliability stays human

AI is already good at

  • Writes pipeline, Dockerfile and Terraform boilerplate
  • Explains errors and suggests fixes
  • Generates tests and documentation

You stay essential for

  • Keeps production reliable and recovers when it fails
  • Designs platforms, cost and security guardrails
  • Reviews AI-written code and configuration before it ships
  • Owns on-call and the postmortem

Skill to add: Go deep on Kubernetes, observability and Terraform, and learn to review AI-generated infrastructure code.

  • GitHub Actions
  • Jenkins
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • Terraform
  • Grafana

Our assessment, not a guarantee. No job is fully AI-proof: people who use AI well replace people who do not.

3-MINUTE CHALLENGE

A deploy just broke production. Make five calls like the on-call engineer.

Score yourself, get a badge, and see why each answer is right or wrong.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Your questions, answered.

What is DevSecOps?

DevSecOps adds security to every stage of software delivery — code, build, test, deploy and run — so vulnerabilities are found and fixed early instead of after release.

What does this program include?

The complete DevOps Master Program (Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Zabbix, Terraform), the Cybersecurity Red Team track (Security+, CEH v13, PenTest+) and a DevSecOps integration module — 180+ live hours.

Do I need coding or security experience?

No. Basic Linux and networking knowledge helps. DevOps starts from fundamentals and security starts with Security+.

Which certifications does it prepare me for?

CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701), CEH v13 and CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003), alongside practical DevOps tool skills. Training follows the official exam blueprints. Exam vouchers are included only when your enrollment offer says so — check the inclusions at checkout and the vendor's current exam requirements before booking.

Will I get hands-on labs?

Yes — DevOps & Cyber Labs (labs.nwkings.com) for pipelines, containers and vulnerable targets, plus a secure CI/CD capstone.

How do I enroll?

Request a callback on this page. A course advisor confirms your starting point, the next live batch, the fee and EMI options, then shares a secure payment link on nwkings.com.

Why learn from the top 1% of engineers?

Because passing an exam and doing the job are different skills, and only experience closes the gap. Network Kings mentors have spent 11 to 20+ years building and running networks, cloud platforms and pipelines at companies like Apple, Juniper Networks, IBM and CDAC. They teach what breaks in production, why, and how engineers fix it under pressure.

Same problem, two answers. Pick a track:

On the job: The release pipeline fails at 2 AM, and production is half-deployed.

The textbook answer

CI/CD automates build, test and deployment. If the pipeline fails, check the logs to find the error.

Correct. Not enough to fix it.

How a production engineer teaches it

  1. Roll back first, debug second. Users come before root cause.
  2. Diff the lockfile and pin the dependency that changed overnight.
  3. Reproduce it in a throwaway container and add the test that would have caught it.
  4. Write a five-line postmortem the team will actually read.
  • The why behind every command, not just the syntax.
  • Hands-on labs for every topic, so the first fault you fix is not at work.
  • Doubts answered by someone who has fixed it in a live network, cloud or pipeline.
