Cloud Computing & DevOps
Introduction to DevOps
This course provides IT professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of DevOps. DevOps is a new approach to software and system development and delivery that strives to:
- accelerate the delivery of new software features
- enhance system quality and scalability
- drastically improve operational efficiency
The DevOps approach grew out of companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook who were challenged with building and operating systems at enormous scale, while evolving and competing at Internet velocity. DevOps derives many concepts from Agile Software Development, but breaks down the traditional barriers between developers and operations by including both throughout the entire system lifecycle, hence the name “DevOps”.
The DevOps approach is now being embraced by many IT organizations. But implementing DevOps requires organizations to learn many new concepts and tools and to modify established processes, patterns and cultures. This Intro course is the recommended starting point for organizations in their DevOps journey, or for individuals who are new to working in a DevOps organization.
