What students say
“I recently started working as Site Reliability Engineer for Oxford Properties. Special thanks to Chandan and the BCR team. The concepts and implementations I learnt at BCR and the projects I worked on gave me confidence and a broader perspective about DevOps and Cloud technologies. The videos strengthened my fundamentals and helped in my technical interview rounds. Just be patient and believe in yourself & the process.”
Annaya Mohanty
Bootcamp Graduate → Site Reliability Engineer, Oxford Properties
“I underwent training on the DevOps course at beCloudReady. They provide excellent training sessions on Git, Python, Ansible, Terraform, Jenkins, and Networking concepts, with Q&A sessions every day to resolve troubleshooting issues. I definitely recommend everyone who wants to learn DevOps.”
Kunal Killekar
Bootcamp Graduate → Platform Engineer
“During my time at BCR I learned way more than I could've ever thought. You'll be applying a lot of the knowledge you gain from the DevOps program. The experience requires you to think critically and analytically. This experience is worth more than any projects you do on your own and gives you the confidence when applying for new opportunities.”

Week 2 — Containers
- Docker deep dive — images, layers, networking, volumes, multi-stage builds
- Kubernetes architecture (pods, deployments, services, ingress)
- EKS cluster setup on AWS
- Helm charts & GitOps with Argo CD
- Lab: containerise a FastAPI app, push to ECR, deploy to EKS via Helm + Argo CD
Week 3 — Terraform
- Terraform modules & workspaces
- Remote state with S3 + DynamoDB locking
- Drift detection & remediation
- Security scanning with tfsec
- Lab: rewrite Week 1's VPC + EC2 as Terraform modules, dev/prod workspaces, demo drift
Week 4 — DevOps / SRE
- GitHub Actions — build, test, deploy workflows; blue-green & canary
- Container registry workflows + image scanning
- Secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager / Vault)
- SLOs, error budgets, alerting with Grafana / Datadog
- Log aggregation & distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry
- Incident response playbooks & runbooks
- Lab: GitHub Actions → ECR → Argo CD blue-green deploy + Prometheus/Grafana + one SLO + incident runbook
Week 5 — AI, RAG, AgentOps & Capstone
- Why every production AI agent is a distributed system, not a notebook
- LLM serving — hosted endpoints vs. self-hosted (vLLM, TGI) on GPU nodes
- Vector databases — pgvector, Pinecone; embedding workers; index lifecycle
- RAG pipeline architecture — retrieval API, reranking, evals
- AgentOps — agent orchestration, tool registries, LLM observability, cost guardrails, prompt versioning
- SQL-safety patterns for agents that touch real data (read-only roles, query budgets, schema allow-lists)
- Capstone: ship an end-to-end agentic text-to-SQL pipeline (db-agent) on the EKS cluster — FastAPI + LLM endpoint + read-only SQL path + observability
- Deliverables: working demo, architecture diagram, runbook, short demo video — the portfolio piece you point recruiters at
After Week 5 — 1-Hour Interview Prep Session
- Resume preparation for Cloud, DevOps, SRE, and AI Cloud Engineer roles
- LinkedIn profile optimisation — headline, about, featured work, recruiter signals
- GitHub profile as your portfolio — pinned repos, README, contribution graph, capstone showcase
- Technical interview question patterns + job hunting strategy — where to apply, recruiter outreach, mock interview tips

Frequently asked questions
Do I need cloud experience before joining?
No prior cloud experience is required. You need basic Linux command line familiarity and comfort with at least one scripting language (Bash or Python). If you can SSH into a server and write a simple script, you're ready.
Is the CAD $599 price only for the August cohort?
Yes. CAD $599 is our early-bird price, limited to the first 25 students. The regular price will be CAD $1,499 after the launch cohort closes. Enroll now to lock in the early-bird rate.
How much time does this require?
5 weekly Tuesday-evening sessions of 2 hours each (~10 hours of live instruction total), running 6–8 PM EST. Plan on 1–3 hours of lab work between sessions to finish the week's exercise. Slack lab support runs throughout all 5 weeks, and there's a 1-hour interview prep session after Week 5.
What if I miss a live session?
All live sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours via the Slack workspace. Instructors also respond to async questions in Slack so you can catch up without falling behind.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. You'll receive a beCloudReady completion certificate after finishing all 5 weeks and submitting your capstone project. The certificate details the specific AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and AI infrastructure skills you've demonstrated.
Does this prepare me for AWS certifications?
The bootcamp content closely maps to the AWS Solutions Architect Associate and AWS DevOps Engineer Professional exams. Many graduates sit these certifications after completing the 5 weeks. However, our primary goal is hands-on job-readiness for DevOps and AI Cloud Engineer roles, not exam prep.
Why is this called "AI Cloud Engineer" — is it still a DevOps bootcamp?
AI Cloud Engineer is the name the hiring market is moving toward for the evolved DevOps role. The foundation is unchanged: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, CI/CD, SRE — all the DevOps essentials. The difference is Week 5 covers AI, RAG, AgentOps, and the end-to-end agentic AI capstone (db-agent) — so you graduate with real AI infrastructure on your portfolio. Job titles you'll be ready for: DevOps Engineer, SRE, Cloud Engineer, Platform Engineer, and AI Cloud Engineer / AI Platform Engineer.
Do I need any AI / machine learning background?
No. The RAG capstone is taught from first principles — we explain what a vector database is, how embeddings work, and how to wire a retrieval API in front of an LLM endpoint. If you can run a Docker container and write a basic Python function, you're set. You don't need a math or ML background.
Is there job placement support?
Yes. All graduates receive resume and LinkedIn review, mock technical interviews, and access to exclusive job postings from our startup and scale-up hiring partners via the Slack community. You also get lifetime Slack access and are eligible to re-attend future cohorts at no extra cost — useful when a new module is added to the curriculum.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. If you attend the first week and feel the bootcamp isn't right for you, we'll issue a full refund within 7 days of the start date — no questions asked.
