Program Objective

This course enables participants to better understand “DevOps”, a contraction of ‘Development’ and ‘Operations’. DevOps is a set of best practices that emphasize the collaboration and communication of IT-professionals (developers, operators, and support staff) in the lifecycle of applications and services, leading to:

  • Continuous Integration: merging all developed working copies to a shared mainline several times a day
  • Continuous Deployment: release continuously or as often as possible
  • Continuous Feedback: seek feedback from stakeholders during all lifecycle stages

Also, the DevOps practices covered in this certification are established around the knowledge associated with DevOps Three Ways:

  • The First Way is to enable the work to move fast from left to right, from Development to Operations to the customer.
  • The Second Way is to enable feedback to go fast from right to left, from all stakeholders back into the value stream.
  • The Third Way is to enable learning by creating a high-trust culture of experimentation and risk-taking.
    Moreover, the crucial subjects of security in all stages, and maintaining compliance during change are covered.
