DevOps Engineering Training — CI/CD, IaC & Automation | 16 Modules, 32 Labs

Program Overview

This is our flagship DevOps program. You will learn to design, build, and operate production-grade CI/CD pipelines, manage infrastructure as code, containerize applications, orchestrate with Kubernetes, and implement monitoring — all through hands-on labs with real toolchains.

Course Modules

1. DevOps Fundamentals — Culture, practices, metrics. CALMS framework. DevOps vs. SRE vs. Platform Engineering
2. Linux & Shell Essentials — User management, processes, networking, systemd, bash scripting for automation
3. Git & Source Control — Branching strategies, merge vs. rebase, PR workflows, Git hooks, conventional commits
4. Build Automation — Maven, Gradle, Ant, MSBuild. Multi-module builds. Build caching and optimization
5. CI/CD with Jenkins — Pipeline as Code (Jenkinsfile), multibranch pipelines, shared libraries, Blue Ocean
6. CI/CD with GitHub Actions & GitLab CI — Workflows, jobs, runners, environments, secrets, reusable workflows
7. Artifact Management — Nexus, Artifactory. Snapshot vs. release repos. Promotion strategies. Cleanup policies
8. Docker Deep Dive — Multi-stage Dockerfiles, layer optimization, Docker Compose, registry management
9. Kubernetes Operations — Pods, Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps, Helm, Kustomize
10. Infrastructure as Code — Terraform — Providers, resources, state, modules, workspaces, Terraform Cloud
11. Infrastructure as Code — Ansible — Playbooks, roles, inventories, Ansible Vault, AWX/Tower
12. Automated Testing in CI/CD — Unit, integration, E2E, performance testing. Parallelization. Quality gates
13. Monitoring & Observability — Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager. SLO-based alerting
14. Release Strategies — Blue-green, canary, rolling deployments. Feature flags. Automated rollback
15. Security in CI/CD — SAST, SCA, container scanning, secrets management, pipeline RBAC
16. Capstone Project — Design and build a complete CI/CD pipeline for a microservices application on Kubernetes

Hands-on Labs (32 total)

Every module includes 2 hands-on labs. Lab environments are cloud-hosted — no local setup required. Examples: “Build a multi-stage Jenkins pipeline that tests, scans, and deploys to Kubernetes,” “Write Terraform to provision an EKS cluster with IAM roles,” “Configure Prometheus alerting based on SLO burn rate.”
