Overview

Learn how to adopt and use the DevOps methodology in your organisation - in just 2 days. On this accelerated Introduction to DevOps course, you’ll study the fundamental capabilities of the methodology to provide continuous software delivery, testing, development and monitoring.

You’ll also learn how to:

  • Adopt DevOps in your organisation
  • Use continuous testing, development and monitoring
  • Identify bottlenecks in a delivery pipeline
  • Use cloud to accelerate DevOps
  • Assemble a DevOps team and establish executive roles

Make DevOps work in your organisation as you expand agile practices, leverage test automation, build a delivery pipeline and experiment rapidly. On this accelerated course, you’ll be immersed in this agile methodology as you learn more with Firebrand’s Lecture | Lab | Review methodology.

This accelerated 2-day course is ideal for members of QA and development teams.

Six reasons why you should sit your DevOps course with Firebrand Training

  1. You'll be DevOps trained in just 2 days.
  2. Our DevOps course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. You’ll learn more DevOps. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  4. You’ll learn DevOps faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  5. You’ll be studying DevOps with the best. We’ve been named in Training Industry’s “Top 20 IT Training Companies of the Year” every year since 2010. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 134561 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  6. You'll do more than study DevOps courseware. We use practical exercises to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

  • Intensive group instruction
