DevOps Essentials

DevOps bridges development and operations, enabling teams to ship software faster and more reliably. This essential course teaches core DevOps practices used by successful tech teams worldwide. Master CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins to automate testing and deployment. Learn Docker for containerization: Dockerfiles, images, containers, volumes, networks, and optimization. Understand Kubernetes basics for container orchestration: pods, services, deployments, and scaling. Implement Infrastructure as Code with Terraform to provision cloud resources automatically. Master version control with Git: branching strategies, pull requests, code reviews, and Git workflows. Learn cloud deployment on AWS and GCP: EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, and Cloud Functions. Implement monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, logging with ELK stack. Study security practices: secret management, vulnerability scanning, and compliance. Learn configuration management, automated testing in pipelines, and deployment strategies (blue-green, canary). Understand the DevOps culture: collaboration, automation, measurement, and continuous improvement. By graduation, you will build automated pipelines that take code from commit to production with confidence.
