ABOUT THIS COURSE

Go is a type-safe concurrent language. It is easy to develop and extremely performant. This course covers using the Go language to automate servers, cloud, Kubernetes, GitHub, Packer, and Terraform. You’ll start by learning the basics of the Go language, such as concurrency and the context package. You’ll learn to interact with the local and remote filesystem using methods such as REST and gRPC. Then, you’ll learn how to use OpenTelemetry for distribution application observability and automate application release workflows with Go and GitHub Actions. Lastly, you’ll learn how to automate the process of creating system images using Packer on the AWS platform, use Go with Terraform to create your custom Terraform provider, program the Kubernetes API to extend its capabilities for your needs, provision resources using Azure's cloud SDK, and design resilient DevOps. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to use the Go language to develop your DevOps tooling or integrate custom features with DevOps tools.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.
