Cloud, DevOps & AI: Building Modern Applications from Code to Cloud
Welcome to Workshop Wednesday, hosted by the Mentor Me Collective! 🚀
In this comprehensive, hands-on masterclass, we are joined by Nikunj Doshi, Solutions Architect Lead at Red Hat, to bridge the gap between local code and scalable cloud infrastructure.
Today’s Topic: Cloud, DevOps & AI: Building Modern Applications from Code to Cloud
How do real-world software applications move safely from a developer's laptop to millions of users in the cloud? This workshop introduces you to the entire modern software development lifecycle (SDLC), mapping out exactly how cloud computing, DevOps automation, and cybersecurity intersect with cutting-edge AI development tools.
Through live demonstrations and clear, practical examples, Nikunj breaks down the foundational pillars of cloud architecture, containers, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code (IaC).
You'll also explore how to strategically integrate AI tools like GitHub Copilot into your workflow to supercharge your developer productivity without compromising security best practices.
No prior cloud experience is required! Whether you are a college student, an aspiring software engineer, a beginner developer, or a career changer, this session gives you an accessible, highly practical entry point into the technologies defining today's software industry.
