Description
An 8-day, hands-on DevOps program covering the full delivery toolchain: containers , Kubernetes , automation with Ansible , plus essential engineering skills - Bash , Git/GitHub , and CI/CD with Jenkins . The course connects the dots from building and packaging applications to deploying, automating, and continuously delivering them using practical labs.
What You'll Learn
- Core DevOps workflow and how teams structure build -> test -> deploy pipelines.
- Containers fundamentals and how to build/run images and workloads.
- Kubernetes basics: deploying apps, services, configs/secrets, and storage concepts.
- Automating routine tasks with Ansible , and using Bash for scripting and operational efficiency.
- Using Git/GitHub for version control and collaboration, and building Jenkins pipelines to orchestrate CI/CD using common plugins.
Prerequisites
- Comfortable with Linux basics (CLI, users/permissions, processes/services, basic networking).
- Basic understanding of software/app deployment concepts is helpful.
- No prior Kubernetes/Ansible/Jenkins experience is required (it’s a plus if you have it).
