Questions
I have never used a terminal. Can I still start?+
Yes, that is who it is made for. Start with the Linux lab. Each lesson tells you exactly what to type, explains what it does, and gives you a hint if you get stuck.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. Everything runs in your browser, on a laptop or a phone. There is nothing to download and no server to set up.
Is it really free?+
You can try the first 3 lessons without an account. Every new account gets the full DevOps plan free for 30 days, with no card: every lesson, interview question, mock exam and build project. After that, the first 2 lessons of every level stay free, and the DevOps or Pro plan opens the rest.
What do I get with Pro?+
Personal help from someone who does this job every day. Every month you get a 2-hour 1:1 online session with a working DevOps engineer: career advice (CV, LinkedIn and a job search plan), help with your projects and errors, and how real teams build, ship and run production. Pro also includes everything in DevOps.
Is the terminal a real server?+
It is a guided practice terminal. It checks the commands you type and shows the output you would see on a real machine, so you can learn safely without breaking anything or paying for cloud servers.
Who makes AkOps Labs?+
AkOps Labs was started by Madialagan Ajith Kumara, a DevOps engineer in Sri Lanka, to help freshers learn DevOps by doing it.
