DevOps + MLOps · graded in the browser

The terminal is the classroom.

A disposable Linux sandbox, a real shell, and a path from the filesystem to the pipeline. Every activity is graded on the machine — never on what the terminal printed.

97 graded labs · 15 free labs · 40 DevOps modules · 36 MLOps modules

Sample session. Every command runs against your own sandbox, provisioned on start and destroyed on exit.

The Ophir Sandbox Challenges.

Short, graded terminal problems on a disposable machine. Read the error, make the change, prove it - no video and no setup.

Free tier - daily rotation in development

These three labs are live and free. A daily rotation and a shareable streak are in development. Browse the lab catalog.

A look inside the sandbox.

Not a course catalogue. The shell, the filesystem and the validation are the product; these are captures of the running UI.

Instructions on the left, a live shell on the right. Validation reads the filesystem after every command.

The catalog, honestly gated

The Linux labs and two AI platform labs are open to everyone. The rest show their real difficulty and duration, with a request-access action.

Linux-first, graded in the browser

Two paths and a cohort. One order.

A DevOps path, an MLOps path and the 60-day AI Platform Engineering cohort. Every track names what it assumes you can already do, and each one ends in lab work at the Linux shell rather than a summary.

22 tracks · 76 modules · 31 cohort labs · 97 graded labs

Interview prep · from Vocalis

Test yourself before you enrol.

Twenty senior-level DevOps and Cloud interview questions — FinOps, Kubernetes, CI/CD, AI infrastructure and SRE. Answer one out loud and Vocalis, our voice-practice app, scores what you actually said.

  • 02Etcd Disaster Recovery
  • 03Zero-Downtime Secret Rotation
  • 04…and seventeen more across the five tracks.

Plans & payment methods

Start where the path starts.

Track 01 assumes nothing — not a cloud account, not a command-line habit. Once Linux is under your hands, the rest of the path opens in order, and each track tells you exactly what it needs from the one before it.
