The learning paths, in order

  1. Step 1
    Prepares for the Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) certificationLearning path

    Linux: system administration, LFCS preparation

    The contractor who had set up all the IT of a freight forwarder in Abidjan left without handing anything over. The system administrator, from now on, is you. Eight missions follow your first year on this estate: taking over a server nobody has documentation for, opening access for three newcomers without opening the door to everyone, patching a vulnerability on an estate that is half Debian and half RHEL, restoring at 3 am an invoicing system stopped by a full disk, proving to the Internet provider who was right when the customer portal stops answering from the Internet, turning into a reliable service the script whose failures block customs declarations, closing everywhere, before the audit, the account of an employee who left, and finally hardening the server exposed to customers before proving, by rebooting it, that the whole estate gets back up on its own. Each mission is played on a real server, with a terminal in your browser. You diagnose before you touch, you fix without breaking anything, and you leave a written trace that management can read. In practice, the path prepares you for the Linux Foundation's LFCS certification, on its core domains: processes and services, accounts and permissions, packages, disks and LVM, networking and firewalls, systemd and udev, LDAP directories, SELinux and rescuing a system that no longer boots. About twenty-two hours of hands-on practice.

    Docker : de la première image à la production

    Jeudi soir, Radio Akwa, à Douala. Ernest lance son sondage de la semaine à l'antenne, et le standard tombe en vingt minutes. Il ne vous demande pas une application : il demande une adresse à donner aux auditeurs. Quatre missions suivent ce sondage, de la première image à la nuit de la finale : le mettre en ligne et y poser votre propre question, ne plus perdre un seul vote quand un conteneur est remplacé, tout relancer en une commande avec Compose, puis le remettre debout au matin d'une coupure de courant et le servir sur une seule adresse derrière Nginx. Chaque lab part d'une panne réelle, que vous diagnostiquez avec les outils du métier (docker logs, docker inspect, les codes de sortie) avant de la corriger. Et à chaque fois, vos proches votent pour de vrai depuis leur téléphone.

  3. Step 3
    Prepares for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) certificationLearning path

    AWS Cloud Practitioner: IAM, S3, EC2, DynamoDB, Lambda hands-on

    Awa launched Baobab Market in Dakar: shea butter, black soap, orders paid by mobile money. The shop is growing, and everything still runs on a computer in the back room. She hands you its move to AWS. Eight workshops follow the shop: giving everyone their access without ever sharing the keys, storing the invoices and publishing the website, launching the server, handling the Friday sales peak, finding each order in a few milliseconds, decoupling preparation, accounting and the customer, preparing orders without managing servers, sending the confirmation by email. Then a final challenge: building the Abidjan shop on your own, in one evening. Each workshop runs in a real AWS console, with no AWS account to open and no credit card to give. You trigger real errors, read them, and fix them. Each workshop ends with a practice exam, and the challenge with a full thirty-question exam: the path prepares you for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification (CLF-C02). About twenty-three hours of hands-on practice, from beginner to advanced.
