DevOpsMind

Learn DevOps & DevSecOps by doing, not watching. Offline by default, with guided terminal practice.

DevOpsMind trains the execution loop behind real DevOps work: build, run, inspect, fix, and validate.

Built for engineers who want to:

✔ Practice real DevOps workflows
✔ Learn by doing, not watching
✔ Work confidently in a real terminal

From Stacks to Real-World Skills

Each stack builds judgment and operational skill you’ll use on real systems — not isolated exercises.

Click a stack to see what you practice inside DevOpsMind.

Practice the Exact Workflow Used in Real DevOps Jobs █

DevOpsMind doesn’t teach tools — it trains how engineers think and operate. You’re guided by requirements and validation, but every command is executed by you.

🧑‍💻 Inside DevOpsMind

Read the requirement
Create files and configurations
Choose the right tools
Run commands manually
Inspect output and failures
Fix mistakes
Validate results
Pass the gate

🧑‍💻 Inside a Real DevOps Team

Read a ticket or incident
Write code or configuration
Test changes locally
Run tools manually
Inspect logs and failures
Fix mistakes
Open a pull request
Pass CI checks

The tools change. The environment scales. The execution loop stays the same.

Learn by Using the CLI ⓘ — Safely, Inside an Isolated Safe Shell

CLI = a guided terminal workflow that tells you exactly what to do next.

DevOpsMind guides you through real DevOps tasks step by step. You always know what to do next.

Start small — commands are introduced as you progress.

Getting started:
  login          Onboard in offline or online mode (explicit)
  logout         Delete ALL local DevOpsMind data (destructive)

 
Core learning commands:
  stacks         Browse Labs & Tracks
  search         Find labs by stack or skill        
  start          Start a real DevOps task
  validate       Safely check your solution
  hint           Get guidance when stuck
  describe       View lab requirements
  mentor         Guided next-step suggestions

 
Progress & profile:
  stats          View learning statistics
  badges         Earned achievements
  profile        View your DevOpsMind profile

 
Offline / Online control:
  mode offline   Work fully offline (default)
  mode online    Enable optional online features

 
Online & sync (optional):
  sync           Sync progress (online mode)
  auth           Recovery key rotation

 
Diagnostics & system:
  doctor         Check local setup & environment
  submit         Submit completed lab

New to this? You stay offline by default. You decide if and when anything goes online.

And if something goes wrong, validation explains exactly what to fix.

DevOpsMind validation explains mistakes safely

No guesswork. No unsafe commands. Guided learning. Fully local unless you opt in.
