Implementing Open Policy Agent for Policy-Driven Control
In today’s cloud-native environments, security and compliance can no longer rely on manual oversight—policy must be automated, portable, and enforceable across platforms. Implementing Open Policy Agent (IOA) equips learners with the skills to use OPA as a unified, policy-as-code engine for governance and security. Across three focused modules, you’ll discover OPA’s core capabilities, learn to write and test policies in Rego, and integrate OPA with Kubernetes for real-time admission control. Through case studies, AI-guided discussions, and hands-on labs, you’ll explore practical use cases such as enforcing compliance standards, governing resources, and applying policies consistently across clusters, APIs, and CI/CD pipelines. This course is designed for DevOps engineers, cloud architects, platform engineers, and security professionals seeking to enforce consistent policy control across Kubernetes, microservices, and cloud environments. It’s also valuable for developers and SREs implementing compliance, access control, or governance automation using OPA. Learners should have basic knowledge of Kubernetes, YAML, and cloud-native architecture. Familiarity with JSON, REST APIs, and DevOps pipelines will help maximize the hands-on experience. No prior knowledge of OPA or Rego is required. By the end of the course, you will be able to design, enforce, and monitor policy-driven controls that strengthen security posture, ensure regulatory compliance, and streamline cloud-native operations.

Circuitos con SPICE: Análisis en el tiempo y la frecuencia
Los circuitos eléctricos han respaldado el desarrollo científico y tecnológico de la humanidad, ostentando un rol clave en los últimos 50 años. Nos admiramos de la capacidad del ser humano de diseñar circuitos integrados que contienen millones de transistores y que nos permiten procesar con gran precisión las señales más débiles provenientes de las antenas de telefonía celular, de las neuronas del cerebro, de una cámara digital, o de la carga depositada por partículas subatómicas que colisionan en el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones en Suiza. Puede parecer un completo misterio un circuito eléctrico cuando lo observamos por primera vez y este tiene muchos componentes con diferentes conexiones y símbolos, pareciendo ser muy complejo el comprender como funciona este circuito o qué función realizan algunos componentes. Sin embargo, no son pocas las herramientas que podemos aprender para analizar circuitos eléctricos y deducir el funcionamiento de estos con sus componentes, lo cual nos ayuda al mismo tiempo a comprender cómo diseñar más de estos circuitos con requerimientos específicos. Circuitos aliñados con SPICE 2: Análisis de circuitos eléctricos en el tiempo y la frecuencia", nos introduce al mundo de los circuitos eléctricos empezando con los fundamentos del análisis de circuitos tales como el método de nodos, el método de mallas, los equivalentes de Thévenin y Norton. Luego nos introduciremos a los circuitos de primer y segundo orden, que analizaremos tanto en el dominio del tiempo como en el dominio de la frecuencia que describirán su comportamiento para señales de diferentes frecuencias. Las videolecciones acompañadas de pequeños cuestionarios te ayudarán a reforzar tu aprendizaje en cuanto a la comprensión del funcionamiento y análisis de los circuitos eléctricos.

Psicología del Aprendizaje
¿Qué es aprender? ¡Todo el tiempo estamos aprendiendo! Desde que nacemos, nuestras interacciones con el ambiente y otras personas impactan en el modo en que nos comportamos, pensamos y sentimos en nuestras vidas cotidianas. ¡Aprender es incorporar conocimientos, pero también adquirir hábitos, valores, habilidades y creencias! En este curso, desde la perspectiva de las psicologías del condicionamiento, vamos a explorar cómo nuestros cuerpos aprenden a regular sus respuestas fisiológicas a partir de los estímulos del ambiente (condicionamiento clásico) y cómo nuestras conductas aumentan, disminuyen y se transforman en hábitos o adicciones a partir de sus consecuencias (condicionamiento operante). Desde la perspectiva de la psicología cognitiva, vamos a explorar cómo se adquieren habilidades, cómo usamos estrategias, incorporamos datos y asimilamos conceptos (aprendizajes procedimentales y declarativos) y cómo nuestros valores y creencias acerca del mundo se adquieren de las personas que nos acompañan en la vida (aprendizaje cognitivo social). Finalmente, desde la perspectiva de la psicología humanista, vamos a ver cómo el aprendizaje más significativo, el más apasionado y transformador, surge de la conexión con nuestra propia integridad y de un modo de vincularnos con otros que tiene la capacidad de potenciarnos (aprendizaje centrado en el alumno). Objetivos del curso: Habiendo completado este curso, los participantes podrán: • Comprender los procesos del aprendizaje desde tres perspectivas: la de las psicologías del comportamiento, la de la psicología cognitiva y la de la psicología humanista. • Reconocer estos procesos de aprendizaje en diversas situaciones cotidianas, en sus propias vidas y en la de los demás. • Aplicar los conocimientos y habilidades obtenidos en este curso para mejorar su propio proceso de aprendizaje y ayudar el de otras personas, en entornos personales, estudiantiles y profesionales.
