Method

What will I learn?

Cloud technology is reshaping the way businesses operate, and skilled cloud engineers are in high demand. The Makers Cloud Engineering bootcamp provides intensive, hands-on training in cloud infrastructure, automation, and security—ensuring learners are ready to deploy, manage, and optimize cloud systems from day one.

By the end of the course you should be able to:

  • Master cloud deployments using virtual machines, containers, and serverless computing.
  • Build secure, scalable infrastructure with Terraform and Kubernetes.
  • Automate software deployment using Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
  • Apply DevOps best practices for software reliability, monitoring, and security.
  • Be job-ready for high-demand cloud engineering roles in top tech teams.

  • Self-led learning

    At Makers, your goal is to learn how to teach yourself. You'll practise this skill, with our support, to get really good at it.

    Self-led learning is the most useful skill in a career in tech, which changes so fast. You'll face new challenges every day and have to solve them yourself - there won't always be someone there to tell you how to do it.

  • Learning in a team

    In your career in tech you'll work with other people to write software to solve problems. So, learning how to work with other people is as important as learning how to write code.

    At Makers, you'll spend a lot of time working in pairs and project teams. You'll also take part in our Emotional Intelligence curriculum, honing your soft skills.

  • Learning with experts

    Learning how to get the most out of your time with experts is another essential workplace skill.

    The Makers coaches are there to help you - they're the experts in the room - but it’s better when you try solving problems on your own first. If you're still stuck, then the coaches will be happy to help you get unstuck, but you should try your best to solve it yourself first, just like in the real world.
