submit. theory left · simulator right · exact stdout match. login to save progress. shell tab = VFS lab (DB field still sql).

1 · language

RU content · EN terms in lessons (Pod, SLI/SLO, Terraform, least privilege…).

2 · AI assist

try yourself first · then ask explain
recalculate any LLM number in the course simulator
no secrets / tokens in prompts
prompt: role → data → check → format
never auto-apply AI shell / terraform / kubectl

3 · browser labs

Python tab — Pyodide stdout
Shell tab — mini VFS (pwd ls cat echo mkdir cd env …)
Extra Linux practice (v86, not graded): /linux-lab.html

/home/student  (cwd)
  README.txt · logs/api.log · logs/nginx.access · deploy/app.yaml
/etc/hostname · /etc/services · /tmp/
commands: pwd whoami hostname uname ls cat echo mkdir cd env help

4 · external labs

tool	mod	task
Docker Desktop	3–5	images · compose api/web/worker · save log
kind / minikube	5	local cluster · deploy · service
GitHub Actions	4 / 9	workflow · status checks · green CI
WSL2	1+	real bash · paths · env (Windows)

5 · checklists

$ docker desktop

install Docker Desktop · engine running
docker compose up for api/web/worker
copy one healthy log line into portfolio notes

$ kind / minikube

cluster up · kubectl get nodes
apply Deployment + Service for api
note: LMS uses dict/YAML strings — cluster is external proof

$ github actions

workflow: lint → test → build
PR shows green status checks
no secrets in workflow logs

$ wsl2

distro installed · uname = Linux
practice paths / chmod / env outside browser VFS
keep .env out of git

6 · glossary

Pod / Deployment / Service — K8s objects
SLI / SLO / error budget — SRE reliability math
IaC / HCL — infra as text (Terraform-like)
least privilege — минимальные права
redaction — маскирование секретов в логах
runbook — пошаговый регламент инцидента
