Important Course Information

Requirements

  • Prior to attending this course, attendees should have attended:
  • Work experience in Agile software development
  • Knowledge of system administration, and source code versioning

Recommended Experience:

  • Work experience as an DevOps Engineer, DevOps Manager, Tester, Hands-On Test Manager, or other roles that ensure the development cycle on software projects is achieved through optimized schedules, costs, and quality.

Course Materials:

  • While the course qualifies for an ICAgile certificate, the class is not written like an exam prep course. The material is designed for hands-on training in DevOps.

Course Preparation:

  • Students will be emailed a short document to review before class. Understanding the content of this pre-course reading is required before class, so more in-class time can be devoted to implementing DevOps.
  • This course exposes students to different tools employed by DevOps practitioners, including:
    • Git for configuration management
    • Maven for build automation
    • Jenkins for continuous integration orchestration
    • SonarQube for code analysis
    • Docker for application containerization
