DevOps Pipeline: CI/CD & Cloud Deployment

DevOps is not just toolsβ€”it is a culture of automation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. This intensive course trains you to build complete CI/CD pipelines that take code from commit to production automatically. Master Docker for containerization, Kubernetes for orchestration, and Infrastructure as Code with Terraform. Learn to set up CI/CD with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins. Implement automated testing, security scanning, and code quality checks in your pipeline. Deploy to AWS and GCP with blue-green deployments, canary releases, and rollback strategies. Configure monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, logging with ELK stack, and alerting for production issues. Understand GitOps principles, implement secret management with HashiCorp Vault, and automate infrastructure provisioning. Master Kubernetes: pods, services, deployments, ingress, persistent volumes, and operators. Learn service mesh with Istio, implement horizontal pod autoscaling, and configure multi-region deployments. Study DevOps at scale: how Netflix, Spotify, and Google do continuous deployment. By graduation, you will build pipelines that deploy hundreds of times per day with confidence.
