Description

Objective:

This course is offered through Coursera, which is an ACE Authorized Instructional Platform.

The course objective is to develop skill sets in a variety of DevOps philosophies and methodologies including Agile Development, Scrum Methodology, Cloud Native Architecture, Behavior and Test-Driven Development, and Zero Downtime Deployments.

Students will learn to program with the Python language and Linux shell scripts, create projects in GitHub, containerize and orchestrate applications using Docker, Kubernetes & OpenShift, compose applications with microservices, employ serverless technologies, perform continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), develop testcases, ensure code is secure, and monitor and troubleshoot cloud deployments.

Learning Outcomes:

Employ tools for automation, continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) including Chef, Puppet, GitHub Actions, Tekton and Travis
Develop a DevOps mindset, practice Agile philosophy and Scrum methodology -essential to succeed in the era of Cloud Native Software Engineering
Create applications using Python language, using various programming constructs and logic, including functions, REST APIs, and libraries
Build applications composed of microservices and deploy using containers (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift) & serverless technologies
