What you'll learn

This learning path helps you develop the technical and collaborative skills needed to work effectively in DevOps environments. You will cover core practices including version control, CI/CD, containers, configuration management and cloud-related tools, with emphasis on applying these skills to software delivery, release activity and team-based engineering work.

DevOps delivery culture

Explore how DevOps changes the way technical teams plan, build, test and release software. You will look at the working practices that support closer alignment between development and operations, including shared ownership, feedback, communication and continuous improvement. This gives you a stronger foundation for contributing to delivery environments where reliability, speed and collaboration all matter.

Release and pipeline control

Develop your understanding of how code moves from development into release. You will examine the role of CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, deployment activity and monitoring within the delivery process. This helps you support more structured release practices, identify where manual work can be reduced and contribute to a more controlled flow of software changes.

Engineering tools in practice

Build familiarity with tools used across DevOps roles, including Git, Docker, Jenkins, Puppet and cloud-related technologies.
