Module 1 - Understand and Apply "DevOps Fundamentals"

The first module establishes a strong foundation in DevOps principles, tools, and practices. Participants will explore the evolution and significance of DevOps in modern IT and software development, emphasizing the cultural shift required for successful adoption. Key concepts include Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD), Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and Monitoring.

Participants will gain hands-on experience with essential DevOps tools like Git, Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes, understanding how they integrate within a DevOps pipeline. Best practices for version control, automated testing, and fostering continuous improvement will be covered. Real-world case studies and group discussions will provide practical insights, preparing participants for advanced topics in the next session.

Content

Introduction to DevOps:
Overview of DevOps, its evolution, and why it is critical in today’s technology landscape. Discussion of the cultural changes DevOps necessitates, promoting a mindset of collaboration and shared responsibility.

Understanding DevOps Principles and Practices:
Delve into core DevOps principles like Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD), Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and Monitoring. Understand how these principles translate into practices that streamline software development and operations.

DevOps Tools and Technologies:

Introduction to key DevOps tools such as Git for version control, Jenkins for CI/CD pipelines, Docker for containerization, and Kubernetes for orchestration. Hands-on demonstrations to illustrate how these tools integrate within a DevOps pipeline.

DevOps Best Practices:
