DevOps & Automation Basics

Course Description

This hands-on course introduces the core concepts and tools of DevOps, equipping learners with practical skills in version control, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, cloud deployment, infrastructure as code, and monitoring. Using widely adopted open-source tools like Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Ansible, participants will gain real-world experience in building and automating modern software delivery pipelines. The course includes labs and a capstone project, making it ideal for IT professionals aiming to develop job-ready DevOps capabilities.

Course Objectives

Explain the DevOps lifecycle, core principles, and how it contrasts with traditional development models like Waterfall and Agile.

Use Git for version control, collaborate on codebases, and resolve merge conflicts using platforms like GitHub or GitLab.

Design and implement CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions to automate build, test, and deployment workflows.

Provision infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform and manage configuration using Ansible.

Deploy and manage containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes in a local lab environment.

Understand cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and deploy simple applications using public cloud storage and compute services.

Set up basic monitoring and logging stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) to observe system performance and application logs.

Apply security best practices in DevOps workflows, including vulnerability scanning, secrets management, and compliance as code.
