In recent years DevOps, Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery/Continuous Deployment (CD) are revolutionizing the software development world. DevOps offers countless benefits to software development organizations, enabling them to implement new features faster and increase software quality, resulting in increased revenue and reduced time to market. To keep up with these new software development methodologies and tools, organizations have greatly increased the number of hired people with DevOps skills in recent years.
There are currently dozens of tools to implement DevOps, CI/CD in the workflow, and their application allows to modernize the entire software development cycle with countless benefits. Developing code for large software projects, with many teams working simultaneously, becomes easier. Designing, integrating different components, detecting errors and issues which can affect the stability of the software allow you to simplify the work process and increase the quality of the released software.
How can you understand DevOps without knowing the starting point? Before delving into the DevOps world and understanding how it works, it is important to have a clear idea of the traditional software design and development process before DevOps came along. This introduction provides an even better understanding of the critical points in the old working approach and an appreciation of the evolutions offered by DevOps, understanding how it changes the projects organization on a practical level.
The course is designed to provide a comprehensive view for those who are approaching DevOps for the first time, but also for those who already have an initial knowledge of these concepts to refocus on the key points and to better understand how DevOps methodology works in practice.
In the lessons you will learn the following topics:
- Traditional software development cycle
- What is DevOps and what benefits it brings
- Software development cycle with DevOps
- What are Dev teams and Ops teams
- How to eliminate silos with DevOps
- What is Continuous Integration (CI)
- How to implement Continuous Integration
- What are Continuous Delivery (CD) and Continuous Deployment (CD)
- Choose between Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment
- How to implement Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment
- What are IaC (Infrastructure as Code) and pipeline
- Relationship between DevOps and Agile methodology
- Relationship between DevOps and the Cloud
Learning is simplified by a series of practical examples, diagrams, and animations offered during lessons to understand the application of DevOps, CI/CD, in real-world scenarios.
Understanding the application of these tools in the project scenarios proposed during the course allows you to understand why DevOps is so important and widespread today, and why it will be increasingly used in the coming years by all software development organizations.
