Server Ops Mastery Path¶

Mastery Path

BOOTCAMP

VINOD BHANUJA

A structured, module-wise training program in Linux server administration and DevOps fundamentals — from your first SSH login to designing highly available, multi-region infrastructure — with real shell/systemd/nginx snippets in every module and a hands-on project at the end of each level.

How the program is organized¶

Level	Focus	Modules
Level 1 · Entry	Server basics, hardening, and your first deploy script	9 topics + 1 project
Level 2 · Intermediate	Reverse proxies, TLS, load balancing, zero-downtime deploys	9 topics + 1 project
Level 3 · Advanced	High availability, DR, containerization, infrastructure as code	9 topics + 1 project
Level 4 · Master	Multi-region architecture, capacity planning, incident response	9 topics + 1 capstone

How to use this site¶

Work through each level in order — later modules assume earlier ones.
Every Level 1 topic page has real, carefully-reasoned shell/systemd/nginx snippets — copy them onto a test VM or container and experiment. Snippets are written to be correct and runnable but are not executed against a live server as part of building this course, so review them before running against production.
Each level ends with a project that combines everything learned in that level.
Use the search bar (top of the page) to jump straight to a topic.
Examples target a modern Debian/Ubuntu server (apt, systemd, ufw); notes call out RHEL/CentOS (yum/dnf, firewalld) differences where they matter.
