DevOps Automation [GK840253]

OVERVIEW

Automate and streamline your DevOps processes with expert guidance and hands-on experience.

DevOps Automation is designed to equip IT professionals and DevOps practitioners who want to enhance their skills in automating and streamlining software development and deployment processes. This course covers a broad spectrum of topics, including Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), containerization, orchestration, monitoring, and security practices. Participants will learn to use tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Grafana to automate the creation, modification, and deletion of infrastructure resources, ensuring efficient and scalable deployments.

Through hands-on labs and real-world scenarios, participants will gain practical experience in implementing DevOps best practices and optimizing cloud automation strategies. This course also highlights the importance of integrating security into DevOps workflows, ensuring that automated processes are secure and compliant.

By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped to design and implement fully automated DevOps workflows that integrate CI/CD, IaC, monitoring, and security, ultimately improving the efficiency and reliability of their software development and deployment processes. This course is ideal for professionals aiming to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving field of DevOps and automation.
