Uptime Kuma is an accessible, self-hosted monitoring tool that tracks the availability of websites, services, and infrastructure. It replaces Pingdom, Datadog Synthetics, and UptimeRobot for teams desiring ownership over their monitoring data. This instructor-led live training (online or onsite) is designed for beginner-to-intermediate SREs and DevOps engineers who wish to utilise Uptime Kuma to transition from cloud uptime monitoring to a self-hosted, sovereign status tracking platform.

OpenVPN and WireGuard are the two dominant open-source VPN protocols. Running your own VPN server ensures that no third-party provider can log traffic metadata, inject advertisements, or comply with foreign data requests. This training covers both protocols for different threat models and performance requirements.
