Discover DevOps, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and agile through practical examples, modular lessons, quizzes, and ongoing updates for beginners and returning learners.
Develop a clear overview of DevOps, continuous integration and delivery, and Agile; explore the modern software development cycle and tools such as GitHub, Jenkins, Docker, and Terraform.
Explore how DevOps unifies development and operations to speed feature delivery and improve software quality through automated, integrated processes. Understand adoption trends, benefits, and common challenges to plan effective implementation.
Learn how a software project evolves from idea to product through product management, development, integration, and quality assurance, guided by agile sprints and time-to-market focus.
Examine the traditional software development workflow without DevOps, with team-based organization, branch-driven development, code integration into a unified build, and documentation alongside development, staging, and production environments.
Expose the flaws of traditional software development, where end-of-sprint code integration creates bottlenecks and unstable environments; the lecture introduces DevOps, continuous integration, and continuous delivery to improve this process.
Define and align the objectives of the dev team and the ops team, as they collaborate in DevOps to design, test, deploy, and operate software quickly and reliably.
Explain how DevOps blends development and operations to accelerate delivery, automate builds and tests, and enhance collaboration across teams through continuous integration, continuous delivery, and monitoring.
Remove silos with DevOps by promoting collaboration, information exchange, and automated workflows across development and operations to improve software quality and continuous integration and delivery.
Boost software quality by continuously integrating code into a single shared repository with automated testing. This approach reduces risk, improves collaboration, and identifies integration issues early.
Learn how to implement continuous integration by using a single central repository, automated builds and tests, and frequent, small code commits that integrate into mainline.
Explore practical continuous integration using tools like Jenkins, CircleCI, TeamCity, and more, with branch strategies, pull requests, automated builds, and fast, parallel tests to ensure reliable mainline integration.
Explore how continuous delivery keeps the latest software ready for production with automated tests and manual release options, while continuous deployment releases automatically.
Explore how continuous delivery automates build and deployment pipelines, enabling automatic builds and manual deployment approvals, while fostering DevOps collaboration between development and operations teams.
Automate software distribution with continuous delivery and deployment by integrating CI in a single repository, building and testing code, and releasing updates via pipelines with tools like Jenkins.
Define infrastructure as code to automate resource creation and updates, and implement devops pipelines to build, test, and release software with tools like Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Jenkins, and CodePipeline.
Learn how to choose between continuous delivery and continuous deployment by weighing control, automation, risks, and context; implement robust testing, monitoring, and recovery strategies to ensure reliable software release.
Explore how DevOps complements agile methodology through iterative sprints, continuous delivery, and cross-team collaboration, highlighting agile principles and the shift from waterfall to iterative development.
Explore how DevOps and cloud technologies align to boost flexibility, scalability, and faster delivery by leveraging IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS in modern pipelines.
Compare virtual machines and containers, highlighting hardware-level virtualization versus lightweight, isolated containers. Explore use cases, isolation, and deployment speed for microservices and CI/CD pipelines.
Compare monolithic and containerized architectures, detailing how microservices enable modular, independently manageable components, scalable deployment, and maintainability with immutable infrastructure and zero-downtime updates.

In recent years DevOps, Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery/Continuous Deployment (CD) are revolutionizing the software development world. DevOps offers countless benefits to software development organizations, enabling them to implement new features faster and increase software quality, resulting in increased revenue and reduced time to market. To keep up with these new software development methodologies and tools, organizations have greatly increased the number of hired people with DevOps skills in recent years.
There are currently dozens of tools to implement DevOps, CI/CD in the workflow, and their application allows to modernize the entire software development cycle with countless benefits. Developing code for large software projects, with many teams working simultaneously, becomes easier. Designing, integrating different components, detecting errors and issues which can affect the stability of the software allow you to simplify the work process and increase the quality of the released software .
How can you understand DevOps without knowing the starting point? Before delving into the DevOps world and understanding how it works, it is important to have a clear idea of the traditional software design and development process before DevOps came along. This introduction provides an even better understanding of the critical points in the old working approach and an appreciation of the evolutions offered by DevOps, understanding how it changes the projects organization on a practical level.
The course is designed to provide a comprehensive view for those who are approaching DevOps for the first time, but also for those who already have an initial knowledge of these concepts to refocus on the key points and to better understand how DevOps methodology works in practice.
During the lessons you will learn the following topics:
Traditional software development cycle
What is DevOps and what benefits it brings
Software development cycle with DevOps
What are Dev teams and Ops teams
How to eliminate silos with DevOps
What is Continuous Integration (CI)
How to implement Continuous Integration
What are Continuous Delivery (CD) and Continuous Deployment (CD)
Choose between Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment
How to implement Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment
What are IaC (Infrastructure as Code) and pipeline
Relationship between DevOps and Agile methodology
Relationship between DevOps and the Cloud
Learning is simplified by a series of practical examples, diagrams, and animations offered during lessons to understand the application of DevOps, CI/CD, in real-world scenarios.
Understanding the application of these tools in the project scenarios proposed during the course allows you to understand why DevOps is so important and widespread today, and why it will be increasingly used in the coming years by all software development organizations .
