Course Description
Build a complete, production-grade CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and ArgoCD — then go beyond deployment and master real EKS Day-2 operations: upgrades, rollbacks, secrets management, and troubleshooting. This is the GitOps workflow most courses skip.
Most DevOps courses stop the moment your app is deployed. This one doesn't. You'll work through a complete, real-world project — implementing everything from Infrastructure as Code to a fully automated GitOps delivery pipeline on AWS EKS, secured and scanned at every stage — and then you'll operate it, the way real production teams do.
What You'll Learn
Provision production-ready AWS EKS clusters using Terraform (Infrastructure as Code)
Build CI pipelines with GitHub Actions — build, test, scan, and package automatically
Containerize applications with Docker
Implement GitOps continuous delivery with ArgoCD
Package and deploy applications on Kubernetes using Helm charts
Scan code and container images for vulnerabilities with SonarCloud and Trivy
Manage secrets securely using the External Secrets Operator
Promote the same immutable image across environments (staging to production) the right way
Perform EKS cluster upgrades, application rollbacks, and production troubleshooting
Automate environment bootstrapping with Python scripts
Apply real Day-2 operations practices most DevOps courses never cover
Tech Stack: AWS EKS · Terraform · Docker · Kubernetes · GitHub Actions · ArgoCD · Helm · GitOps · SonarCloud · Trivy · External Secrets Operator
Who This Course Is For
DevOps engineers who want hands-on, production-style CI/CD experience on Kubernetes
Anyone looking to master GitOps workflows with ArgoCD and Helm
Developers transitioning into DevOps, Cloud, or Platform Engineering roles
Anyone who has deployed an app once and now wants to operate it like a real production system on EKS
Why This Course Is Different
Deployment is only half the job. This course covers the other half — the Day-2 operations work (cluster upgrades, rollbacks, secrets rotation, incident troubleshooting) that separates junior DevOps engineers from senior ones, and that almost no other course on Udemy teaches.By the end, you won't just know how to build a CI/CD pipeline on Kubernetes with GitHub Actions and ArgoCD — you'll know how to run it, secure it, and keep it alive in production.

Excellent course with a very practical, real-world approach to DevOps and Kubernetes. I particularly liked the hands-on implementation of CI/CD pipelines on Amazon EKS. The course helped me understand how different DevOps tools and AWS services work together in a production-like environment. Highly recommended for DevOps, SRE, and Cloud professionals looking to strengthen their practical skills.
By Vishal Palla on 1/17/2026
This course is highly informative and provided me with a clear understanding of how the DevOps workflow operates in real-world scenarios. While following the course, I often evaluated the tools being used and, wherever I felt a more suitable or scalable alternative existed, I implemented my own approach. For example, instead of using SonarCloud, I installed and managed a SonarQube server on an AWS EC2 instance, and I chose AWS ECR over Docker Hub for image storage, leveraging IAM roles to securely pull images from ECR. These hands-on variations helped me deepen my understanding beyond the course content. Overall, the course is exceptionally well-structured, covering a wide range of DevOps concepts in a short time without compromising on clarity. The author’s GitHub documentation is particularly helpful and greatly enhances the learning experience. I am genuinely thankful to the author for explaining so many topics in such an effective manner. As a small suggestion, since the course already uses AWS extensively, incorporating AWS ECR instead of JFrog and demonstrating a self-hosted SonarQube setup instead of SonarCloud could make the course even more practical and industry-aligned.

The course is good except the outdated sonarqube section, all the other sections are fine with proper steps. The only issue with the course is that why aspect of each step was not explained as most of the students are learning for the first time. More information could have been provided for better understanding.
By Chirag Singh on 5/1/2024
Apart of Sonarqube and analysis which seems to be outdated all is good. Instructor was highly efficient and keep it really simple so that even if some one do not know about the tools can easily complete the course and create his own project.
By Venkatesh Venkatesh on 11/1/2023
This course expertly covers essential tools like Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Maven Server, SonarQube, and JFrog, offering practical, real-world applications. The multi-branch pipeline and webhook concepts were exceptionally explained. The integration within Jenkins using Jenkinsfile was a standout, showcasing seamless tool orchestration. Highly recommended for developers seeking practical skill enhancement.
By Mohit Mishra on 10/28/2023
This is a great project to get some hands on knowledge in Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes, Not going in too much dept, Videos are sort which keeps the course intresting. Some lectures have issues, becuase tools are upgraded, But never the less, give opportunity in troubleshooting .
By Arnau Beltrà Bisa on 10/6/2023
I liked the course because it explains in an easy manner how to work with all the tools, to create a full DevOps pipeline. All lessons are concise and to the point.

Thanks to AR Shankar for a great learning experience!
By So Sa on 9/5/2023
I was able to finish the course within the first 3 days after purchasing it. Great explanation on how DevOps infrastructure is set up. It was very useful to see visuals on how tools are setup and connected to each other. Thank you so much for sharing your repos. It was so helpful to see your code and I was able to use some of it while doing some deployments. Great job explaining everything. I wish there were more examples of common errors and how to troubleshoot them.
