Course Overview
With the widespread adoption of cloud platforms by organisations, there is a growing demand for IT managers and leaders who possess a thorough understanding of DevOps principles, fundamentals, and operational mechanics.
When DevOps frameworks are not properly implemented, managed, and operated, organisations fail to reap the full benefits of cloud technologies. This can lead to increased operational costs, manpower wastage, inefficiency in resource optimisation.
Tailored for IT leadership teams, project directors, and project managers, this course covers essential topics such as cloud computing, Agile project management processes, Continuous Deployment (CD) and Continuous Integration (CI) methodologies, DevOps principles and lifecycle, implementation strategies and roadmap, as well as challenges and solutions. The course will also explore the tools essential for successful DevOps execution and provide insights into the future trends of DevOps.
