Fairwinds Apprentice Learning Plan

This is an example learning plan for new Site Reliability Engineers.

Prerequisites

This plan assumes that the new SRE has used their terminal and can do the following:

• Fork and clone a remote repository
• Navigate the command line with cd
• Create, list and destroy directories and files with mkdir, touch, ls, and rm
• Build a 'hello world' web application in a language of their choice.

If you're still learning these skills, check out these resources:

• Github Guide: How to Clone a Repo
• The first two levels of the Command Line Module on ShortCutFoo
• If you're new to building web applications, find and work through a 'hello world' tutorial in Python, Ruby, Go, JavaScript, or another language that interests you.

For Mentors:

• Create a new copy of repo and update as needed based on the skillset of your incoming-SRE.

For Apprentice-Level SREs

• Fork and clone this repo, and start working through the plan starting with 01-Git. Note the deliverables, and work with your mentor to setup times to meet and review your work.
