Your first day

You join the team. Your job: take i27Helpdesk live.

This program works like joining a company as its DevOps engineer. You are handed a real product, the helpdesk i27Academy uses, and asked to make it live and keep it running.

So you learn what a DevOps engineer needs, and why: every tool comes in when the product needs it, and it all ends in a production release you built yourself.

The real project

i27Helpdesk: 6 apps, one product, end to end.

A real product made of 6 apps. You deliver it the way a DevOps team would, phase by phase, until every app ships through the same secure pipeline to production.

  1. Phase 01

    Onboarding

    Get to know the product like a new team member: its architecture, the environments, and the release plan.

    • Architecture
    • Environments
    • Release plan
  2. Phase 02

    Run it locally, end to end

    Run all 6 apps on localhost (the Next.js UI with the Node.js, Java, and Python services) and connect them to MySQL, so you know how the stack fits together before automating anything.

    • localhost
    • MySQL
    • Configuration
  3. Phase 03

    Containerise all 6 apps

    Write production Dockerfiles, including multi-stage builds, for the Java, Node.js, Next.js, and Python apps.

    • Docker
    • Multi-stage builds
  4. Phase 04

    CI for every app

    A GitHub Actions pipeline per app, triggered only by that app’s changes, building and testing with Maven, npm, and Python tooling.

    • GitHub Actions
    • Maven
    • npm
    • Python
  5. Phase 05

    Quality, security, and images

    SonarQube quality gates, Trivy image scans, and commit-tagged images stored in Artifact Registry.

    • SonarQube
    • Trivy
    • Artifact Registry
  6. Phase 06

    Keyless access to the cloud

    Connect pipelines to Google Cloud with OIDC instead of stored keys, on GitHub-hosted and self-hosted runners.

    • OIDC
    • Runners
  7. Phase 07

    Run it on Kubernetes

    Deploy to a managed cluster with a namespace per environment, health probes, and secrets. The product is served on one public domain per environment through NGINX Ingress with HTTPS, while internal services stay private.

    • Managed Kubernetes
    • Ingress
    • DNS & TLS
  8. Phase 08

    Promote to production

    Release through dev, test, stage, and prod, with approvals before protected environments and verified rollouts.

    • Environments
    • Approvals
    • Rollouts
  9. Phase 09

    Operate, break, and fix

    Watch the product with Prometheus, Grafana, and alerts, then handle the failures we cause on purpose.

    • Grafana
    • Alerting

Break & fix

Things will break. That is the point.

Real DevOps work is mostly fixing what went wrong. So in class we break things on purpose, and you work out why and fix them, the way you would on call.

Incident

Broken pipeline

A build fails, a quality gate blocks the merge, or an image scan finds a critical vulnerability.

You fix it

Read the logs, find the cause, fix it, and get the pipeline green again.

Incident

Bad release

A new version will not start, pods keep restarting, or the rollout never completes.

You fix it

Debug the deployment, roll back safely, and ship the fix.

Incident

Database issues

An app cannot reach MySQL, credentials are wrong, or the schema does not match.

You fix it

Trace the connection, secrets, and configuration until every app is healthy.

…and more, from access and permission errors to failed rollouts.

Frequently asked questions

It works like joining a company as its DevOps engineer. You are handed i27Helpdesk, a real product with 6 apps (a Next.js UI with Node.js, Java, and Python services on MySQL), and asked to take it live. You learn each tool because the product needs it, ship it through dev, test, stage, and prod, and fix the failures we cause on purpose along the way.

A basic understanding of how software is built and a willingness to learn. We start with Linux and Git and build up step by step. No prior DevOps experience is required.

Yes. It is designed for working professionals and freshers alike, including people from support, admin, testing, and networking backgrounds.

One fee of ₹30,000, paid as a single payment, covers the complete program: every tool in depth, the i27Helpdesk project end to end, and the bonus recorded courses.

No. This program focuses on delivering the product: pipelines, security, deployments, and operations. i27Helpdesk’s cloud infrastructure is built as code in our AWS and Google Cloud programs.

Every session is recorded and shared daily, so you can catch up anytime and revise at your own pace.
