Build hiring proof for SRE roles: automating delivery, infrastructure, and operations.

SRE candidates and career switchers targeting Cloud / DevOps roles.

Timeline
8 weeks
Level
Beginner to intermediate
Final outcome
A SRE portfolio with shipped projects, public GitHub proof, resume bullets, and interview talking points.
Skills to prove
Docker
CI/CD
Terraform
Linux
Monitoring
Incident response
Portfolio projects
  • Containerized service with a full CI/CD pipeline
  • Infrastructure-as-code environment with staging and production parity
  • Monitoring stack with alerts and a written incident review

Prebuilt build path

Follow these phases in order. Each one ends with a portfolio artifact you can show in GitHub, on your resume, or in interviews.

Step 1
Weeks 1-2
Containerize and automate a service
Show a repeatable path from commit to running service.
  • Dockerize an app with health checks, environment config, and compose for local dev.
  • Add a CI pipeline that lints, tests, builds, and deploys on merge.
Deliverable: A pipeline-backed service anyone can deploy from scratch.
Step 2
Weeks 3-6
Operate it like production
Prove you can run what you ship.
  • Provision hosting with Terraform or documented IaC, separating staging and production.
  • Add metrics, alerts, and a runbook, then simulate and write up one incident.
Deliverable: A monitored environment with IaC, runbooks, and an incident review.
Step 3
Weeks 7-8
Package the proof for hiring
Turn the work into evidence recruiters and interviewers can verify quickly.
  • Polish each repo README with screenshots, setup steps, architecture notes, and tradeoffs.
  • Write resume bullets and interview talking points that map each project to SRE job requirements.
Deliverable: Public GitHub proof, an updated resume, and interview-ready project stories.
