In 2022, Christ College of Engineering took on
an
exciting venture – a new program in SRE DevOps. It drew in 50 eager participants keen on Site
Reliability Engineering and DevOps. The journey kicked off at 5 am, with 21 students diving into
Python and DevOps training. The program wasn't just a class; it was an immersive experience,
carefully designed for focused learning.
Understanding the value of guidance, a mentorship program was introduced. Each student had a
mentor, offering support through regular one-on-one sessions. The 21 participants formed three
teams, each specializing in a DevOps topic. Collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and evening sync
sessions became the norm. Beyond tech, the program emphasized soft skills through personality
training and healthy habits sessions.
Collaboration was key. The program seamlessly
integrated with college management, forming strategic partnerships with internal organizations
for real-world applications. The peak was an immersive bootcamp led by industry experts – Vivek,
Arvind, Aromal, and Ramdev – bridging theory with industry demands.
A team-building trip added a chapter of memories. The outcome: a knowledgeable cohort, a
mentorship model fostering camaraderie, and holistic development. The SRE DevOps Batch of 2022
wasn't just an academic success; it was a story of learning, collaboration, and personal growth
– a testament to the college's vision, industry expertise, and the participants' spirit in the
world of SRE and DevOps.
