DevOps/CICD Training

3-month DevOps Engineering Course

As a DevOps Engineer, your role encompasses bridging the gap between software development and IT operations, utilizing a suite of traditional DevOps tools to streamline the software development lifecycle. This involves automating processes for continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI; managing infrastructure as code with tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef; implementing containerization and orchestration through Docker and Kubernetes; monitoring system performance and logging using tools like Nagios, Prometheus, or ELK stack; and ensuring security and compliance with tools like SonarQube and OWASP ZAP. By effectively leveraging these tools, DevOps Engineers facilitate collaboration between development and operations teams, accelerate software delivery, and enhance the reliability and scalability of software systems.
