Frequently asked questions
What to do if I miss the LIVE session? (Package 3)
Only for Package 3 relevant:
We record every live session. So just watch the recorded session whenever you have time for it :)
When will the bootcamp be available?
The bootcamp will be available on February 2021 at the latest. When on the email list, we will inform you once everything is ready.
Once started, new students can enter any time.
Only for Package 3 relevant:
For the live calls it doesn't matter if you just started out with Module 1 or are already on Module 5. Everyone can ask questions no matter how far along you are with the program.
Also each live lecture is recorded and later accessible for all participants.
Can I work beside the bootcamp?
Yes! The bootcamp is created with working students in mind, because our participants are often already working as a SysAdmin or Developer transitioning to DevOps.
That being said, you can work with the provided materials whenever you want. Be it before going to work, on the weekends or late at night. That is up to you.
Only relevant for package 3:
That's why the monthly live calls are held in the late afternoon or evenings. Mind timezones! As already pointed out, in case you miss something just watch the recorded versions.
How do I get most out of this program? (Package 2 & 3)
Only for Package 2 & 3 relevant:
For a successful completion of the program, it's important to watch ALL the supplied resources each week and do ALL the exercises. Work at your pace, but don't take too long.
The most important thing is to practice, practice and practice with the provided labworks and exercises. It will help you learn faster and give you confidence at work, when applying the technologies in practice.
Therefore in each module there is a hands-on lab to practice not only the technology in the module, but also the combination with the other tools you already learnt in the previous modules.
Only for Package 3 relevant:
It's also important to participate in the live Q&A, even if you don't have a question. You will also learn a lot from other student's questions.
What are the pre-requisites?
Good question!
KNOWLEDGE:
As DevOps overlaps with Development and IT Operations processes, it's a pre-requisite to have a working experience with either Software Development or System Administration.
We don't want to exclude anyone, but without having a basic knowledge of either, it will be difficult to follow the bootcamp.
TECHNICAL:
Obviously you will need a laptop or PC either with Linux or MacOS. If you have a Windows machine, you can either install a Linux VM or get a remote linux server from any host provider. If you need assistance there, we will provide you with the relevant links.
How often is the live Q&A? Support (Package 3)
Only for Package 3 relevant:
LIVE Q&A:
The live Q&A session is
once a month using a video communication tool.
Each participant can ask questions regarding the tools they are learning and instructors will answer them. This way other students can learn from each such question/answer.
SUPPORT during the month:
Email: With package 3 you also get email support. Me and other instructors will answer you questions via email.
Slack: In addition there are slack channels only for package 3 members. In these channels me and other instructors will answer your questions.
What happens after the 5 months?
After 5 months you will surely be ready for your first DevOps job :) However, you will still have access to all the online courses.
Only for Package 3 relevant:
In addition to the online courses and materials you will also have access to the recorded Q&As, if you want to look something up or freshen up your knowledge later.
But you CAN'T participate in the live sessions any more.
How will the Bootcamp help me to find a DevOps job? (Package 2 & 3)

We will give you more tips on this in the last session.
Exclusive program community (Package 2 & 3)
