What is OpsPath?
Everything you need to get job-ready, in one place
Not videos. Not multiple choice. You do the real work, in your browser, and the platform tells you the moment you get it right.
A real sandbox
Every run happens in an isolated container with no internet access, destroyed the moment it finishes. Break things freely.
Instant automatic checks
Each step is graded the second you run it, and hints get more specific the longer you're stuck. No waiting for a reviewer.
Tracks in the right order
From your first ls to production Terraform: Foundations, then Core skills, then Production. Follow the ramp or jump in anywhere.
Real Terraform, emulated AWS
Run the real terraform init, plan and apply against LocalStack, an AWS emulator. Real workflows, zero cloud bill.
A terminal that feels real
Command-line lessons give you a proper bash prompt. In Git lessons your session carries over: commits, branches and cd all stick.
Interview questions built in
Nearly every lesson ends with the interview questions hiring managers ask about that topic, with model answers.
Résumé lines you earn
Most lessons award a résumé line describing what you actually did, collected on your profile. Copy them straight onto your CV.
Terraform Associate prep
A free exam-readiness check and a timed practice exam, mapped to the Terraform Associate (004) objectives.
How it works
Three steps, then the next one
- 1
Read the brief
Each step is a short, concrete task: list the hidden files, make the commit, plan the bucket. The why comes with it.
- 2
Run it for real
Type the command or write the code, then run it. It executes in a fresh sandbox and you see the real output.
- 3
Pass the checks
Automatic checks confirm it worked. Stuck? Take a hint. Done? The next step unlocks and the lesson builds on it.

Proof
Walk into interviews with something to show
A certificate of completion for every track, ready for LinkedIn, plus things you can actually talk through.
A résumé line you earned
Composed Unix pipelines (grep, wc, sort) to filter and summarize log data from the command line.
Most lessons award one. They collect on your profile, ready to copy.
The interview question, answered
“Why does a team need remote state at all?”
Local state lives on one laptop: it can't be shared, reviewed, or recovered. A remote backend gives the team one durable, shared source of truth, and a dead laptop costs nothing.
Exam-ready?
Ten questions mapped to the Terraform Associate (004) objectives tell you where you stand, then a timed practice exam puts it to the test. Both are free.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Do I need an AWS account?
No. AWS lessons run against LocalStack, an AWS emulator, inside the sandbox. You use the real AWS CLI and real Terraform, and there's never a cloud bill to worry about.
Is it real Terraform?
Yes: the Terraform in Production course runs the real terraform CLI (init, plan, apply) against the emulator. The free Terraform Foundations course uses a fast in-browser simulator so you can learn the core loop before you sign up for anything.
I'm a complete beginner. Where do I start?
With Linux & the Command Line. Every track builds on it, and its first lessons are free. The roadmap shows the order.
What do I need to install?
Nothing. Everything runs in your browser, and the sandbox runs on our side.
What's free, and what does Pro add?
Every track starts with free lessons; you just need a free account to run them. Pro unlocks every lesson in every track, real terraform apply, and a much higher daily run limit.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from your billing page. You keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for. Prices include sales tax or VAT.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes: a certificate of completion for every track you finish, plus one for the free Terraform Foundations course. You get a PDF and an image, a public link anyone can verify, and one click to add it to LinkedIn. It's a completion certificate from OpsPath, not an industry certification, and you'll also have résumé lines and real work you can talk through.
Your first lesson takes five minutes.
Open a real terminal, type a real command, and see it checked. Free.
