Course Overview
DevOps is often seen as a challenging landscape that leaves many organizational leaders unsure of where to begin. For many enterprises, the DevOps journey is complex, with multiple layers of people, processes, and technologies that all contribute to a successful implementation. Unlike a product that can be bought off the shelf, DevOps is a continual journey of improvement.
This course delves into the engineering-specific elements of DevOps, offering actionable insights for both leaders and practitioners. While the DevOps Foundation course provides a general introduction, this course focuses more deeply on the practical aspects of engineering DevOps solutions. It offers a thorough technical perspective on the principles and practices necessary to build and maintain a successful DevOps strategy.
Participants will be prepared to take the DevOps Engineering Foundation certification exam upon completion.
