3-Day Intensive Course for Developers, IT Ops, and Automation Engineers

3 Intense Days
7 Hours per Day (Split into two 3.5-hour sessions)

Learning Path Visual

Your hands-on journey from manual delivery to automated, scalable DevOps workflows:

Day 1: Foundations of DevOps & CI/CD Pipelines
Understand the culture, tools, and practices behind DevOps. Learn how to build, test, and deploy code faster using CI/CD workflows and version control.

Day 2: Infrastructure as Code & Containerization
Automate your infrastructure using Terraform and Docker. Deploy consistent environments across development and production with container-based strategies.

Day 3: Monitoring, Scaling & Secure DevOps (DevSecOps)
Integrate security, logging, and monitoring into your pipelines. Explore observability, automated rollback, and scalable deployment patterns using cloud-native tools.

Course Overview

DevOps is more than tools — it’s a way of working that increases delivery speed, reliability, and scalability. This workshop teaches engineers how to build modern DevOps pipelines, automate infrastructure, and deploy resilient systems using industry-standard tools and practices.

You’ll learn by doing: configuring CI/CD, writing deployment scripts, working with containers, and applying DevSecOps principles to build pipelines that scale — securely.

You’ll learn how to:

• Set up CI/CD workflows using Git, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins

• Automate environment provisioning with Terraform or similar IaC tools

• Containerize applications using Docker and deploy using Docker Compose

• Apply DevSecOps principles to secure and audit your pipelines

• Implement logging, metrics, and alerting for observability

• Integrate cloud tools (AWS, Azure, GCP) into DevOps workflows

• Build workflows that minimize downtime and increase agility

• Collaborate across dev and ops using shared tooling and automation

This course bridges code delivery, infrastructure automation, and site reliability practices, making DevOps approachable and actionable for technical professionals.

What’s Inside Each Day

Day 1 — Foundations of DevOps & CI/CD Pipelines

• DevOps principles: culture, feedback loops, automation

• Version control best practices (Git branches, PRs, tags, hooks)

• CI/CD workflows: build, test, release cycles

• Setting up pipelines in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI

• Secrets management and environment variables

• Hands-on: Build a basic CI/CD pipeline with automated testing

Tools: Git, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, YAML
Focus: Automation • Delivery Pipelines • Versioning

Day 2 — Infrastructure as Code & Containerization

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): intro to Terraform

• Writing declarative infrastructure: networking, compute, policies

• Docker essentials: images, containers, volumes, networks

• Compose files for local multi-container development

• Deploying staging environments with repeatable scripts

• Hands-on: Provision cloud resources and deploy Docker containers

Tools: Terraform, Docker, Docker Compose, VS Code
Focus: IaC • Environments • Containerized Delivery

Day 3 — Monitoring, Scaling & Secure DevOps (DevSecOps)

• Integrating security scanning into pipelines (SAST, DAST, secrets scanning)

• Monitoring and observability: logs, metrics, alerts (Prometheus, Grafana)

• Cloud-native deployment patterns: blue/green, canary, rolling updates

• Automated rollback and fault recovery strategies

• Hands-on: Implement alerting, dashboards, and a secure pipeline

Tools: Prometheus, Grafana, Trivy, AWS CLI/GCP SDK
Focus: DevSecOps • Observability • Reliability Engineering

Course Goals

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Build robust DevOps pipelines that integrate code, infrastructure, and security

• Automate deployments across environments and teams

• Use containers and IaC to create scalable, consistent delivery systems

• Monitor your systems using modern observability stacks

• Shift left on security and incorporate risk mitigation into CI/CD

• Reduce time-to-release and increase production confidence

Who Should Take This Course?

• Developers seeking to deploy faster with CI/CD and automation

• Sysadmins and IT engineers transitioning to DevOps workflows

• Cloud engineers looking to provision and monitor infrastructure as code

• Security and SRE professionals implementing DevSecOps and observability

• Startup and platform teams building delivery pipelines from scratch

• Students and career changers entering the DevOps or cloud space
