The Day 1: Deploying Your First Datacenter learning path was designed to help operators set-up a healthy datacenter. The path topics have recommendations for setting up a production ready datacenter including server sizing, networking configuration, and architecture design. After the initial installation of the datacenter, you will also learn how to secure the agents and setup a backup procedure.

The platform is self-guided, so you can follow along at your own pace and your own schedule. The courses start with beginner introductions, assuming only minimal familiarity with DevOps concepts and our products in particular. The courses then progress into intermediate and advanced topics.

We've designed this platform for desktop, tablet, or mobile so you can learn from any device or use a second screen as an auxiliary learning tool while you work through hands-on labs on your primary machine.
