Introduction
As Platform engineering has matured over the last few years, it has evolved into the foundational operating system of the modern enterprise and is fast becoming a board-level priority.
After launching the Practitioner and Professional certifications, many of you asked for something deeper, more technical, and hands-on. That’s why we built the Architect certification.
This course is for architects, platform engineers, and DevSecOps professionals who want to move beyond running clusters or building pipelines. It’s about learning how to design scalable platform foundations, embed security and compliance from day one, and enable developers through automation and clear interfaces.
Audience Profile
- Practitioners: DevOps and SREs who want to integrate AI into their workflows, automate complex tasks, and future-proof their careers for the AI-native era
- Platform Engineers: Individual contributors looking to build next-gen AI platforms, manage AI/ML workloads at scale, and lead AI infrastructure best practices within their organization
- Leaders: Head of platforms and product owners, tasked with driving the AI transformation strategy and want to manage architectural shifts towards AI-native platform setups
Pre-requisites
You’ll need to have completed the Platform Engineering Certified Practitioner course before joining. You should already be comfortable working with Kubernetes, using kubectl, deploying workloads and managing namespaces. Experience with Git, GitHub and Docker is expected, along with some familiarity with Policy as Code tools such as OPA, Gatekeeper, or Kyverno. If you’ve run CI/CD pipelines and know your way redeploying workload sound tools like VS Code, JetBrains, curl, or Postman, you’re good to go.
Course Objectives
By the end of this certification, you’ll be able to:
- Design the AI-native SDLC: Accelerate everything from agentic coding to self-healing CI/CD pipelines
- Unlock conversational observability and AI-driven root cause analysis
- Define requirements for hosting data and AI workloads
- Design reference architectures AI/data reference architectures with focus on compliance and Finops
- Transition to the next evolution of platform engineering
- The certification includes eight modules combining self-paced lessons and live expert-led sessions
Platform engineering now enables enterprise AI. This course teaches you to apply AI-native capabilities to supercharge the SDLC, streamlining everything from builds to complex operations and compliance. You will then learn to design specific “platforms for AI” infrastructure, preparing you for the next evolution of the platform engineering role. The course is delivered instructor-led, live, and on-demand, allowing flexibility while maintaining deep, interactive learning.
