DevOpsMind v1.1.1: New CI/CD, Cloud, and AIOps Labs Are Here

DevOps learning usually starts well… and then breaks.

You learn Linux.
You learn Git.
You run Docker commands.

But when it’s time to connect pipelines, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, and automation, most learning paths fall apart.

DevOpsMind v1.1.1 is our attempt to fix that — with hands-on labs that focus on how systems actually work.

What’s New in v1.1.1
🧪 CI/CD Labs

These labs aren’t about copying pipeline YAMLs.

You’ll:

Build CI/CD pipelines from scratch

Break them on purpose

Debug failures and understand root causes

Learn how pipelines behave under real conditions

The goal is pipeline thinking — not tool memorization.

☁️ Cloud Labs

Cloud is often taught through dashboards and screenshots.

In DevOpsMind, cloud labs focus on:

Infrastructure as systems (compute, network, state)

Understanding trade-offs, not just services

Learning cloud without hiding complexity

If it feels logical, you’re learning it right.

🤖 AIOps Labs

AIOps is more than dashboards with “AI” labels.

These labs help you understand:

Signals, logs, and metrics

How automation decisions are made

Where intelligence helps — and where humans must stay in control

It’s about augmenting operators, not replacing them.

Improvements Beyond New Labs

v1.1.1 also brings:

Clearer lab instructions

Better error hints when things go wrong

Smoother difficulty progression

Stability fixes across Linux-based labs

Small changes that make a big difference when you’re learning by doing.

Who This Is For

DevOpsMind is built for:

Sysadmins moving into DevOps

Developers who want real operational understanding

Learners tired of shallow, step-by-step tutorials

If you can reason about the system, the tools don’t matter.

Still Free. Still Local. Still Open.

DevOpsMind remains:

Free · Local · User-Owned · Forever

No accounts.
No cloud lock-in.
No vendor-driven learning.

Just hands-on DevOps education, built the way engineers think.

Why This Release Matters

CI/CD, Cloud, and AIOps aren’t “advanced topics” anymore.
They’re core DevOps skills.

DevOpsMind v1.1.1 brings them into the learning path — without cutting corners.

If you’re serious about learning DevOps, this is where things start to connect.
