Are you INTERESTED IN Becoming a certified DevOps Engineer both Locally and Internationally?

DevOps Engineers are already in high demand, and that demand is only expected to increase for the nearest future.

WHAT IS DevOps Engineering?

DevOps (a mix of “development” and “operations”) is the combination of practices and tools designed to increase an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services faster than traditional software development processes.

In simple terms, DevOps is about removing the barriers between traditionally siloed teams, development and operations. Under a DevOps model, development and operations teams work together across the entire software application life cycle, from development and test through deployment to operations

This Program will get you ready by launching you into the field of DevOps if you want to build a career in DevOps Engineering.

DevOps practices rely on effective tools to help teams rapidly and reliably deploy and innovate for their customers. These tools should automate manual tasks, help teams manage complex environments at scale, and keep engineers in control of the high-velocity pace that is DevOps.

The DevOps workflow consists of phases:

Planning the next iteration of the product’s development
Building the code
Testing and deploying to the production environment
Delivering product updates
Monitoring and logging software performance
Gathering customer feedback

Experience in software development or AWS is an added advantage of taking this program. However, even if you do not have experience in these, we will try our best to help you follow through.

This program will start preparing you and laying the foundation for exams like:

Live Intructor-led classes
3 months of hands-on session
Free extra 2 months of mentorship on completion
Certificate on completion

Replay available after each class
Mini tasks after each class
Group projects
Capstone projects
Interview preparation
Career roadmap

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN

WHO THIS PROGRAM IS FOR

People who want to transition into DevOps Career and succeed at it no matter the country you are.
People who have had interest in starting a career in the Tech Industry but do not want to code and who want to learn the process on how to build and configure cloud set-ups for companies
