OTUS launches open lessons on AI agents, Kubernetes and Go in May

OTUS is preparing an intensive block of open lessons for May 18–28. Over 10 days, you can participate in 9 different tracks — from Kubernetes to AI-agents — and understand which topics to explore in more depth.

9 tracks in the program

The schedule covers topics relevant for 2026. Each lesson is an introduction, after which you can decide whether to go deeper.

• Kubernetes and container orchestration
• Go — a language for high-load systems
• LLM and AI-agents — working with language models
• Load testing
• Observability, logging and metrics
• API Gateway and traffic management
• Application security
• CTE (OTUS specialized topics)
• Architecture and system design

When and how

Open lessons run from May 18 to 28 almost twice a week. Format: evening online sessions of 1.5–2 hours. You can just show up without pre-registering for a full course. OTUS instructors conduct each lesson like a regular class — with code examples, questions, and sometimes assignments for those interested. Against the backdrop of free content, this is a good way to feel the learning style on the platform and talk with an instructor before making a decision about a course.

Who this is useful for

It's ideal for those who:

• Want to try a new language or technology without major investment
• Are considering a full course and want to see it live first
• Work in a related field and want to expand your skill set
• Simply curious about how IT is developing in 2026

There are no barriers — you only need a browser and a free evening.

What this means

When an educational platform opens classes to everyone, it signals: we're ready to attract beginners, not just those already studying with us. For learners, it's low risk; for the platform, it's an opportunity to demonstrate teaching quality and understand which topics resonate with the audience.
