This topic lays the foundation for the course by introducing what DevOps actually is, going beyond just tools to cover the cultural shift it represents. Students understand the overall lifecycle and why organizations adopt DevOps practices.
This topic introduces Git, the foundational tool for tracking code changes and enabling collaboration, which underpins almost every DevOps workflow, especially CI/CD pipelines.
This topic introduces Continuous Integration, a core DevOps practice where code changes are automatically built and tested frequently, helping teams catch issues early and maintain a stable codebase.
This topic builds on Continuous Integration by covering how tested code is automatically prepared for release and deployed to production, completing the CI/CD pipeline.
This topic introduces Docker, a foundational containerization tool in DevOps that packages applications and their dependencies together, ensuring consistency across different environments.
This topic introduces Kubernetes, the industry-standard platform for managing containerized applications at scale, helping students understand how it automates deployment, scaling, and operations.
This topic introduces Infrastructure as Code, a practice that allows teams to manage and provision infrastructure through code rather than manual processes, making environments consistent and repeatable.
This topic covers how DevOps teams keep track of application and infrastructure health, ensuring issues are detected early and system performance stays reliable in production.
This final topic helps students understand the certification landscape in DevOps and prepares them for the next steps in building a career in this field.
This lesson introduces the core building blocks of Kubernetes — pods (smallest deployable units), nodes (machines running pods), and clusters (groups of nodes) — giving students the vocabulary needed to understand Kubernetes architecture.
