DevOps Foundations: Git, Docker & CI/CD
Prove you can ship software — Git workflows, Linux, Docker, CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes basics.
DevOps and platform roles are among the fastest-growing tech jobs. This assessment checks practical knowledge across the delivery pipeline: Git branching, merging and recovery, everyday Linux and shell, building and running containers, designing CI/CD pipelines and deployment strategies, and the core Kubernetes and observability concepts used in production.
What it measures
Git & Version Control
Commits, branches, merge vs rebase and recovering mistakes.
Linux & Shell
Permissions, processes, pipes and common commands.
Containers
Images, containers, Dockerfiles, layers and volumes.
CI/CD
Pipelines, testing gates, secrets and deployment strategies.
Kubernetes & Operations
Pods, deployments, services, scaling and monitoring.
Who it's for
- Aspiring DevOps, SRE and cloud engineers
- Developers who own their deployments
- System administrators moving into cloud-native work
