Advanced Practical DevOps From theory to production: automation, scaling, and continuous improvement
This is an advanced course designed to strengthen basic knowledge on practice and confidently progress in your career.
You need skills in Linux and Windows operating systems, databases, and TCP/IP fundamentals to enroll. You should also be familiar with one programming language (Python, Java, .NET, Ruby, or Golang) and have
basic knowledge of writing automated scripts (BASH, CMD). You can acquire these skills in the "DevOps I: Linux and
Networks Fundamentals" and "DevOps II: CI/CD, Containers, and Cloud Fundamentals" courses.
WHY SHOULD YOU LEARN DEVOPS:
DevOps is an approach that brings together development and operations teams to deliver high-quality, reliable products faster. Process automation, continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), monitoring, and security all help businesses adapt to change and reduce risks.
That's why the demand for DevOps engineers is growing, and companies value specialists who can make processes more efficient.
AFTER THE COURSE, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:
- confidently manage server infrastructure, administer Linux, and automate tasks using Cron
- configure networks and firewalls, and ensure system security
- build efficient CI/CD pipelines, work with containers, and set up Jenkins and GitHub Actions for automated deployment
- use Docker and Kubernetes to ensure the scalability and stability of applications
- automate infrastructure with Terraform and configure servers with Ansible
- monitor and analyze systems, set up Prometheus and Grafana Loki for metrics collection and logging
- work with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and deploy services in the cloud
IT’S A MATCH IF YOU:
Have basic knowledge of one programming language (Python, Java, .NET, Ruby, Golang) and databases, understand the principles of writing automated scripts (BASH, CMD), and have a general understanding of working with Linux, Windows, and TCP/IP. You can acquire these skills in the "DevOps I: Linux and Networks Fundamentals" and "DevOps II: CI/CD, Containers, and Cloud Fundamentals" courses.
