STUDY

Web & Cloud Server Lab

Learn how websites are served and what the cloud really is. Twenty lessons: requests and responses, status codes, methods, headers and cookies, caching and CDNs, domain names and DNS, server blocks, locations and try_files, redirects and error pages, reverse proxies to apps, HTTPS and certificates, a faster site, logs and monitoring, security headers and rate limits, containers, serverless and static hosting, deploying safely with CI/CD, regions, zones and uptime, cloud service models and regions, scaling with load balancers and CDNs, and security, backups and cost. Then run a bakery’s website on a simulated web server: edit an nginx-style configuration, test and reload it, start the app, get a certificate and send requests to see the status, headers, page and how the server decided – eight missions from the first page to forcing HTTPS.
