Don't use a VPN. 2. Delete your current browser's cookies and cache. 3. Please try another browser like Firefox or Chrome. I request that you try opening the lab on your personal machine, as office machines (laptops) generally have certain security barricades that hinder the lab from functioning smoothly. 4. Please check the date and time on your local system and see if it's the same date and time mentioned in your timezone. If it isn't the same, please change it to the correct date and time and try logging into your lab. 5. To work at maximum speed in the lab, ensure that your internet connection has a speed of at least 30 Mbps. 6. If the above doesn't help, we suggest that you please stop your instance, relog in to your LMS, and try again after 5–10 minutes. This should resolve your issue. ::: ### Course Outline :::warning - Introduction - Git and VCS - CICD using Jenkins - Configuration Management using Ansible - Terraform - Containerization using Docker - Kubernetes - Monitoring - Nagios - ELK - Amazon CloudWatch :::
