About us

Kura Labs is an online academy that provides free advanced training and job placement in Cloud Infrastructure, SRE and DevOps engineering roles at Fortune 1000 and VC-backed startups for aspiring engineers from under-resourced communities across the U.S. The 500+ hours of live interactive instruction from leading industry practitioners entail extensive individual and group-based work streams building automated deployment pipelines for enterprise software applications as well as scalable cloud infrastructure.  Key Competencies Include: 1. Establishing proficiency in Linux environments with extensive use of BASH and Python to automate core processes involving resource provisioning, monitoring, security, and scaling.  2. Building and scaling automated software deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using Git, GitHub, Jenkins, Docker (ECS), Kuberntes (EKS), Helm, and CircleCI to provision micro-service applications.  3. Monitoring, trouble-shooting and remediating application and infrastructure issues and incidents using DataDog, CloudWatch, and Splunk.  4. Building, securing, and deploying N-tier micro-service infrastructure and VPCs (multiple AZs, subnets, gateways, load balancers, APIs, application servers, databases) using Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Puppet, and Keeper.  5. Leveraging Lambda and Fargate and other serverless components to selectively manage dynamic scaling of various capabilities based on business trade-off analysis.
