Learners will configure Chef-based infrastructure, develop reusable cookbooks, automate cloud and database environments, and deploy a complete web application using industry-standard DevOps practices. They will analyze infrastructure requirements, implement configuration management workflows, and evaluate system stability using Chef tooling across local, standalone, and centralized models.
This course provides hands-on, project-driven learning focused on building an online college registration system from the ground up using Chef and AWS. Learners gain practical experience setting up Chef workstations, writing Ruby-based recipes, managing nodes, configuring databases, and automating Apache web servers. By progressing from local development to centralized Chef Server deployments, learners develop a strong understanding of real-world infrastructure automation pipelines.
What makes this course unique is its end-to-end project orientation—instead of isolated concepts, learners implement a complete production-style solution that mirrors enterprise DevOps environments. The course bridges the gap between theory and practice, making it ideal for aspiring DevOps engineers, system administrators, and cloud professionals seeking job-ready configuration management skills.
This module introduces the end-to-end project scope and establishes foundational knowledge of Chef configuration management, cloud infrastructure concepts, development tooling, and core Chef constructs required to automate infrastructure for an online college registration system.
This module focuses on Chef cookbook design, execution models, cloud-based node management, and automated database provisioning, enabling scalable and repeatable infrastructure deployments across distributed environments.
This module covers centralized Chef Server management, web server automation, and full-stack application deployment, culminating in the delivery and optimization of a production-ready online registration system.
