DevOps Prerequisite Course
Those new to the Cloud and DevOps world often find it difficult to start their journey due to missing basic prerequisites. For example, issues with setting up a basic lab environment using VirtualBox, networking issues, or working with the Linux CLI or text editors like vi editor. Sometimes, it's issues with applications – like getting a sample application to work, getting the dependencies to install properly, or getting a webserver to communicate with a database server. Or at other times, it's working with data formats like JSON or YAML. So we have identified a gap, and we believe that this is because some of the basic prerequisites are missing, such as knowing the basics of Linux, the basics of tools like VirtualBox, the basics of the most commonly used applications like Java, Python, NodeJS, or web servers like Apache, NGINX, etc. As a DevOps or Cloud Engineer it is important to have these basics cleared. And that’s why we built this course to bridge that gap. With this course, anyone can kick start their DevOps or Cloud Journey. This is the course you must take before you start with any of the DevOps or Cloud courses out there. This course helps you get your basics right so the rest of the journey is smooth. What are the prerequisites to attend this course? - There are no pre-requisites for this pre-requisites course - Good to have (Not Mandatory) a laptop to practice by yourself

New Map for Product Managers: Rulesets for Global Business
Geopolitical risk is consuming more and more attention across the C Suite, forcing international businesses to rethink their marketing strategies as the benefits of globalization are called into question by superpowers determined to dominate large parts of the world coming under unprecedented strains of climate change, demographic aging, and the rise of a majority global middle class. As superpowers wage their national-brand “wars” across target markets, learn how to apply your own globalization strategy to create competitive advantage across these geopolitical boundaries. Accommodate near-shoring initiatives by leveraging north-south supply chain integration to secure local markets while maintaining global brands that can access and disrupt foreign markets through business models that respect cultural differences while achieving economies of scale. Such a multi domestic strategy is essential to avoid geopolitical lock-out from different markets subject to ever increasing superpower competition among China, India, Russia, the United States, and the European Union The internationalization of these rivalries is a defining characteristic of the global economy today, meaning your enterprise’s international strategy must account for them across international markets. The first week will be a quick overview of Course 1 content, emphasizing the three “inevitabilities” (exploding global middle-class consumption, harshening climate crises, accelerated demographic transitions) along with three “inconceivable” strategy adjustments (recognizing the supremacy of North-South tensions, navigating superpower brand wars, enabling North-South political integration). Breaking down the world into 8 specific regions, the course explores the predominant political regime-type in each. It also maps out superpower influence networks across the regions, first militarily and then in terms of diplomatic soft power. We then explore how the West (US, EU) seek to protect the international rules-based order through economic sanctions (sticks), while China pushes a “carrot-heavy” approach to win over client states with its Belt and Road Initiative. In Week Two, the course focuses on superpower economic influence networks, starting with an exploration of how open each of our eight world regions are to external trade and then measuring how central individual superpower markets are for those regions’ exports. We then examine three advanced-to-emerging-market financial flows: Official Development Assistance, migrant worker remittances, and foreign direct investment, establishing in each region which superpowers either possess historical dominance or seek it today. Then, by profiling seven strategic markets in terms of their global supply chains, we establish how our five superpowers rank in terms of dominating global value chains while nonetheless becoming strategically dependent on various world regions. In Week Three, the course leverages all the political-military and economic analyses of the first two weeks to profile each of the eight world regions as to how our superpowers either enjoy or seek strategic influence and standing. By doing so, we reveal each superpower’s weaknesses and ambitions vis-à-vis one another and elucidate how each seeks to address that combination through its global influence networks. At this point in the course, each student will have a solid sense of how superpower competitions are playing out in every world region, thus shaping the trade and investment market in each instance.

Tune Confluence Settings
By the end of this course, learners will be able to configure Confluence settings to improve performance and evaluate configuration changes to ensure system stability and a reliable user experience. Tune Confluence Settings is an intermediate-to-advanced course designed for IT managers and platform owners responsible for keeping Confluence fast, stable, and trusted at scale. Instead of treating performance as a one-time fix, this course helps learners build a disciplined, decision-oriented approach to configuration and validation. Learners explore how core settings such as Marketplace plugins, caching behavior, CDN usage, and space design directly influence page load speed and perceived performance. The course then shifts focus to evaluation, showing how to validate improvements through testing, interpret response-time and stability metrics, and decide when to keep, adjust, or roll back changes to protect reliability. What makes this course unique is its emphasis on reasoning over rote configuration. Through realistic scenarios, hands-on practice, and reflective decision-making, learners practice thinking like platform stewards, not just administrators. The result is practical confidence in making performance changes that deliver measurable gains without compromising system stability or user trust.

Create Model-driven Power App for Rental Company
For new employees in a company that works with customers, for example a rental company, there’s often a lot of confusion in the beginning regarding the business process when attending to the customers. There are usually many mistakes involved and steps skipped, which can lead to even more confusion and unsatisfied customers. That’s why we will create a Power Apps Model-driven application which will make the rental process strictly defined and everyone will have to do identical steps to finish the process. We will have our data safely and correctly stored inside Microsoft Dataverse and training new colleagues will be reduced to minimum. In this 90-minutes long guided project, “Create Model-driven Power App for Rental Company”, you will create custom tables inside Microsoft Dataverse and a Power Apps Model-driven application, which will strictly define handling the car rental process, from the moment when a car rental request gets approved, to the very last step of the process, when the customer returns the car and the car becomes available for rent again. Since this project uses Microsoft Power Apps (part of the Microsoft Power Platform), you will need access to a Microsoft account and a Microsoft 365 Developer Program subscription account. In the video at the beginning of the project you will be given instructions on how to sign up for both. If you are ready to strictly define business processes and make them unified for everyone with a Power Apps model-driven app, then this project is for you! Let's get started!
