Step by Step DevOps Project on AWS - Jenkins, Terraform, Git

Are you struggling to land a DevOps job because you lack hands-on experience? My step-by-step DevOps course teaches you how to build and architect your own pipelines from scratch, so you can finally break into the DevOps field.

This step-by-step DevOps course is intentionally designed for you to build your own DevOps pipelines from scratch because there’s no better way to truly learn than by doing. Research shows that actively creating something engages multiple areas of your brain, helping you not only learn faster but also retain the information more effectively. By constructing the pipeline from the ground up, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of each component and its role in the overall process, making the knowledge more intuitive and practical.

This approach goes beyond rote memorization—it trains you to think critically and adapt the principles you’ve learned to new scenarios. The process of problem-solving, troubleshooting, and making decisions while building a pipeline helps reinforce neural pathways, strengthening your long-term memory and understanding. By the end of the course, you’ll have built a fully functional pipeline that automatically builds, packages, and tests the Java Spring Boot Application – PetClinic.

Having built the pipeline yourself will prepare you for job interviews in a unique way. You’ll feel confident discussing your hands-on experience and be ready to answer technical questions with real-world examples. Knowing you’ve successfully implemented the pipeline yourself will not only boost your confidence but also help you stand out to potential employers as someone who can independently create and manage DevOps systems. This experience equips you with the skills and mindset to excel in any DevOps role.

What Past Students Are Saying

I liked this course on DevOps, because at work, we are in the process of establishing a DevSecOps and going through this course gave me hands-on experience, and I appreciate that very much.

- Derick

The best part was demystifying several DevOps tools and getting real experience using them. Having hands on access to the tools instead of watching someone else do it was good also.

-Shahram N Vaziri

The best part of the class is the various aspects of DevOps and the CI/CD pipeline. I learned a lot. Thank you!

-Kuowen

Just an outstanding instructor. Keenly knowledgeable in a cutting-edge field, yet available for consultation and approachable across the range of coding experience amongst a wide range of experience in the student group. The course is exceedingly well-organized, and gives great "bang-for the buck".

- Rafa

This class was fantastic for me! It helped to fill in gaps in my experience - I was familiar with some of the tools and practices, but not all, and putting together the final project facilitated my understanding of the mechanisms of a working CI/CD pipeline.

-Todd

I really liked that the course focused on the hands-on learning (labs) evenly with the theoretical. For this topic especially, the hands-on learning is critical and is something that is missing in other courses.

- Rick

Norma is an expert in the field of DevOps. She has a pleasant personality also. Whenever we encountered any problems, she would try to address it.

- Jacob

I really liked the approach the instructor took to help and assist my learning and development throughout the course. The instructor was very friendly and approachable. She has immense amount of knowledge and experience in DevOps and it shows. I will keep in touch with her for further coursework for myself as well as my team. I appreciate her hardwork and great attitude!

- Alex

The best part of the course is all the various aspects of DevOps and the CI/CD pipeline. I learned a lot!

- Rukhsana Matin

I like the hands on experience.

-Vidya Rangaswamy

I like the class materials - format in both videos and step by steps instructions.

-Tyng Kao

What you will learn:

In this course, you will learn techniques, processes, and tools to achieve continuous delivery by connecting and automating all phases of software delivery, including configuration management, automated acceptance testing, dependency management, and the creation and management of testing environments. These techniques are widely applicable to all sorts of different software projects—big, small, highly technical, or short sprints to early value.

Using a practical approach, the course covers the DevOps tools, strategies, and concepts that will allow you to complete your own DevOps Project in your own AWS Environment.  You will provision your own EC2 instance, install your own Jenkins Server and create your own Jenkins Pipelines to build, test and deploy jobs as well as integrate Jenkins with other DevOps tools such as Maven, JUnit, GitHub, JMeter, Packer, and Terraform on AWS.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of AWS Environment is desirable but not required. Students should have knowledge of basic System Integration and Test methods, tools, and terms.
