The Odyssey Program
The ultimate transition path.
4 months of curated training and real work experience — not slides, not toy projects. You leave with a portfolio on LinkedIn, your resume, and GitHub that proves you can do the job.
Not just another bootcamp.
Bootcamps teach you syntax and send you off. Odyssey puts you inside the actual operating rhythm of a cloud team — onboarding, nesting, go-live, maintenance windows, triage — the same cadence real SRE and DevOps teams run on. Everything you build is real, tracked, and reviewable. A portfolio, not a transcript.
The four phases
Onboarding
Get grounded: tooling, access, team norms, the goSRT framework, and your first assignments.
Nesting
Work alongside working engineers on real, curated tasks — with mentorship and code review as your safety net.
Go-Live
Take the wheel. Own real work end-to-end, with more autonomy and less hand-holding.
Certification & Capstone
Defend a capstone project and sit a professional certification exam. Extends the journey through month 6.
Run on the goSRT framework
Skills, Resources, Tools — every phase is built around these three pillars.
Skills
The technical and professional competencies you're building this phase.
Resources
Curated content, mentors, and reference material assigned to you as you go.
Tools
The real platforms you use daily: Azure, Terraform, Kubernetes, and more.
How we keep you on track
Bi-monthly check-ins
1:1s every two weeks with a mentor to review progress and unblock you.
Progress tracker
Every assessment and assignment logged, so the arc is visible — not just the outcome.
Presentation & triage sessions
Present your work regularly, and practice triaging live issues the way real teams do.
Maintenance window activities
Scheduled ops work — patching, upgrades, runbooks — so you know what keeping the lights on really means.
What you leave with
- A GitHub portfolio of real, reviewable work
- Résumé and LinkedIn-ready project descriptions
- A capstone project you can defend in an interview
- An optional professional certification (6-month track)
