Intro to DevOps

Course Overview

This course provides an introduction to DevOps, a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). It covers the CAMS (Culture, Automation, Measurement, Sharing) principles, the different perspectives of Dev and Ops, and how to solve problems with different approaches and tools. It also covers tools that enable Continuous Integration and Delivery workflows, as well as tools that help with measurement and how it helps IT and business.

[Applications]
After completing this course, students should be able to apply the CAMS principles to their own DevOps environment. They should be able to identify and resolve conflicts between Dev and Ops teams, and understand how to use tools to enable Continuous Integration and Delivery workflows. Additionally, they should be able to use tools to measure the success of their DevOps environment and understand how this measurement can help IT and business.

[Career Paths]
