During this DevOps Engineer course you will learn the skills of a DevOps professional. DevOps professionals streamline delivery by optimizing practices, improving communications and collaboration, and creating automation. They design and implement strategies for application code and infrastructure that allow for continuous integration, continuous testing, continuous delivery, and continuous monitoring and feedback.
Your course package is designed to provide maximum learning and convenience. This is included in the price of your course:
Your expert instructor will get you ready for the following exam and certification, which are included in your course package and covered by the Certification guarantee.
You´ll have the perfect starting point for your training with these prerequisites:
We recommend delegates to be proficient with Agile practices. Delegates must be familiar with both Azure administration and Azure development and experts in at least one of these areas.
To earn the Microsoft Certified Azure DevOps Engineer Expert certification, you must earn either the Azure Administrator Associate or Azure Developer Associate certification and pass the AZ-400 exam.
Using our engaging learning methodology using a variety of tools, we’ll cover the entire curriculum.
