Optimize Software Development and Deployment with DevOps
The Introduction to DevOps Engineering course is an intensive 9-week, hands-on program designed to prepare learners for modern cloud and automation roles. Starting with DevOps foundations, Linux administration, and Git workflows, students progressively build real-world skills in Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD automation, containerization, Kubernetes, and serverless application delivery. Through practical labs and projects, learners gain the ability to design, automate, and deploy applications using industry-standard tools and cloud-native architectures. Graduates leave with the confidence and capability to support high-performance engineering teams and modern software delivery pipelines.
Course Details
DevOps Engineering integrates software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to enable organizations to deliver applications and services rapidly and reliably. By fostering collaboration among teams, automating repetitive tasks, and implementing Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), DevOps facilitates frequent and safe code changes. It also emphasizes continuous monitoring and feedback to drive improvement while treating infrastructure management as code through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for consistency and scalability. Overall, DevOps helps organizations deliver better software faster, respond quickly to market demands, and enhance customer satisfaction.
