Academy

Practical training for engineers operating hybrid infrastructure.

Networking foundations, contract-driven automation, and evidence-first DR drills taught as repeatable operating patterns.

What you'll be able to do
  • Design and validate hybrid networking patterns (WAN, BGP, VPN)
  • Build and run contract-driven automation using modules, drivers, profiles, and packs
  • Deploy and operate platform services: PostgreSQL HA, NetBox, RKE2, ArgoCD
  • Provision infrastructure with IPAM-driven IP allocation and automated inventory sync
  • Produce evidence-first operations: DR drills, probes, and redacted outputs
  • Execute and rehearse full DR failover and failback cycles with review-ready evidence
How it's delivered
  • Self-paced content with structured labs
  • Live sessions and office hours
  • Assessment through submitted evidence packs — not quizzes

Curriculum tracks

Six tracks covering the full hybrid infrastructure stack — from networking to DR automation.

01
Networking Foundations

WAN design, BGP peering, IPsec/WireGuard VPN, and DNS delegation patterns for hybrid topologies.

Modules covered
  • VLAN / subnet segmentation
  • BGP route policy
  • VPN tunnel commissioning
  • DNS split-horizon
02
Contract-Driven Automation

ModuleSpec contracts, driver isolation, profile governance, and replaceable pack architecture.

Modules covered
  • ModuleSpec authoring
  • Driver lifecycle
  • Profile & policy defaults
  • Pack versioning
03
Evidence-First Operations

DR drills, burst execution, probe verification, and structured evidence output for audit and review.

Modules covered
  • DR drill planning
  • Burst capacity patterns
  • Probe & health checks
  • Evidence envelope review
04
Platform Services

Deploy and operate PostgreSQL HA, NetBox IPAM, RKE2 Kubernetes, and ArgoCD on bare-metal using HybridOps blueprints.

Modules covered
  • PostgreSQL HA with Patroni + etcd
  • NetBox IPAM service deployment
  • RKE2 Kubernetes cluster provisioning
  • ArgoCD GitOps bootstrap
05
IPAM-Driven Infrastructure

Use NetBox as the authoritative IPAM source. Provision infrastructure where IP allocation, inventory records, and module state stay in sync automatically.

Modules covered
  • NetBox as authoritative IPAM (require_ipam: true)
  • IP allocation by stable identity
  • Automated NetBox export and sync hooks
  • Multi-environment with shared SDN authority
06
Disaster Recovery & Automation

Execute and rehearse DR failover and failback across on-prem and cloud using pgBackRest, Cloud SQL replication, DNS cutover, and the HybridOps decision service.

Modules covered
  • pgBackRest backup repository (GCS/S3)
  • Cloud SQL managed replication via DMS
  • DNS-based failover mechanism
  • Decision service threshold triggers

Track progression

Tracks 01–03 can be taken in any order. Tracks 04–06 build on each other and assume completion of Track 01 or equivalent.

01
Networking Foundations
02
Contract-Driven Automation
03
Evidence-First Operations
04
Platform Services
05
IPAM-Driven Infrastructure
06
Disaster Recovery & Automation

Tracks 04–06 have a recommended order. Track 04 is the prerequisite for 05 and 06.
