## What it is
Ops School is a comprehensive open-source curriculum that teaches people how to become operations engineers, covering systems administration, networking, security, and DevOps skills from beginner to expert. The content is written in reStructuredText and built into a documentation site with Sphinx, hosted on Read the Docs.

## Use cases
- learn to become an operations engineer
- study systems administration fundamentals
- learn unix fundamentals and shell usage
- understand active directory and networking basics
- find a free devops and sysadmin curriculum
- contribute documentation to an ops education project

## When to choose
- you want a structured, free curriculum for learning operations engineering from scratch
- you need reference material covering sysadmin, networking, and security fundamentals
- you want to contribute to or fork an open-source ops education resource

## When to avoid
- you need hands-on labs or interactive exercises rather than written documentation
- you want up-to-date coverage of modern cloud-native tooling, as much content reflects older practices
- you need a video course or guided mentorship instead of text-based learning
