DevOps Fundamentals Training
This DevOps Fundamentals training course provides a comprehensive introduction to DevOps's core principles, tools, and practices, designed for developers, system administrators, and IT professionals who want to embrace modern software delivery processes.
Participants gain hands-on experience in key areas such as version control with Git, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform, containerization with Docker, orchestration with Kubernetes, and automated configuration management using Ansible. In addition, they learn best practices for integrating security into DevOps workflows and setting up monitoring and logging for a robust DevOps environment.
By the end of the course, participants have a solid understanding of how to implement and manage DevOps practices within their organization, enabling faster delivery, more efficient collaboration, and a higher level of operational excellence.
