Course description
As the Fundamentals level course, candidates will be introduced to basic concepts, terms, principles and tools used for DevOps as well as why DevOps is needed in modern enterprises, Scrum methodology, people and culture implications as well as the practices, processes, automation and technology used for adapting DevOps within an organization.
DevOps is a software development methodology that combines software development (Dev) with information technology operations (Ops). The goal of DevOps is to shorten the systems development life cycle while delivering software releases frequently in close alignment with business objectives in a faster, better, and cheaper fashion. The DevOps approach to work covers three critical success factors: cultural shift, improvement of practices and processes, and leverage of automation technologies.
