Theory gets you a degree. Deployment gets you a job.
DeployU is where engineering students and early-career engineers learn cloud, DevOps and AI by building on real infrastructure — and every step is checked against what they actually built.
Publish a port and reach the app
Start an nginx container in the background and map host port 8080 to container port 80. Then prove it answers.

Built for proof. Most platforms measure watching. DeployU counts what you built — and turns it into something you can show.
Labs, not lectures.
Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, databases, React, Node.js and AI. Each course is 5–10 tasks in a live environment, 45 minutes to two hours, with a verifier behind every task. Browse 117 labs →

Sign in with Google or GitHub. Pick a course, a project or a sandbox. The environment opens in your browser; you work; the verifier tells you the moment it's right — and exactly what's wrong when it isn't.

CineList is a full-stack MERN app built across eight modules on a live dev server — screens, routing, API, database, auth, uploads, deploy. Then five one-sitting builds on a real AWS account. See the projects →

No guided steps, no setup. Six AWS playgrounds on real accounts — EC2, Lambda, S3, VPC, ECS, RDS — and eleven container playgrounds for Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, databases, languages, Git and Terraform. Sessions are 60 minutes and extendable. The bill is ours. All 17 sandboxes →

Resources are torn down when the session ends. Guardrails keep the account inside the lab budget, so you can't run up a bill by mistake.
A readiness score you can't fake.
A DSA roadmap of 404 problems across 16 patterns, 145 AI & Data questions, the same bank grouped by 100 companies, and AI mock interviews on what you've actually solved. Code runs against hidden tests; viewing the solution doesn't count. How placement prep works →

Do I need my own AWS account or a credit card?
No. Cloud labs and playgrounds run in accounts DeployU provisions, and we cover the cloud costs. You never enter card details to run a lab.
Are the environments real?
Yes. Playgrounds open real AWS accounts and real containers. Course labs run a VS Code IDE with a terminal in your browser; projects run on a live dev server. A few cost-heavy labs use LocalStack to emulate AWS — the lab says so when it does.
How is my work verified?
Each task has an automatic check against what you built — a running container, a deployed resource, a passing test. For placement problems, only code that passes the hidden tests counts as solved.
What does it cost?
Creating an account is free. Running labs and playgrounds needs a yearly plan — from $240 a year. Students at partner colleges get access through their college.
Do I get a certificate?
Every completed course issues a certificate with a public verification link. It records which labs you completed, not just that you enrolled.
How long does a lab take?
Most course labs take 45 minutes to two hours. CineList is eight modules of 45–60 minutes. Playground sessions are 60 minutes and extendable.
