Amazon Web Services (AWS) DevOps Engineering on AWS

On this accelerated AWS: DevOps Engineering on AWS course, you’ll learn how to use DevOps philosophies, practices, and tools to develop, deliver, and maintain applications and services at high velocity on AWS.

DevOps Engineering on AWS teaches you how to use the combination of DevOps cultural philosophies, practices, and tools to increase your organization’s ability to develop, deliver, and maintain applications and services at high velocity on AWS. This course covers continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), infrastructure as code, microservices, monitoring and logging, and communication and collaboration. Hands-on labs give you experience building and deploying AWS CloudFormation templates and CI/CD pipelines that build and deploy applications on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), serverless applications, and container-based applications. Labs for multi-pipeline workflows and pipelines that deploy to multiple environments are also included.

The final module is an AWS Jam, a gamified event, with teams competing to score points by completing a series of challenges according to established best practices based on concepts covered in the course.

You get to experience a wide range of AWS services in a series of real-world scenarios that represent common operational and troubleshooting tasks. The end result is developing, enhancing, and validating your skillsets in the AWS Cloud through real-world problem solving, exploring new services, features, and understanding how they interoperate.

In just 3 days, you’ll learn use DevOps best practices to develop, deliver, and maintain applications and services at high velocity on AWS . You’ll also learn how to:

• List the advantages, roles and responsibilities of small autonomous DevOps teams
• Design and implement an infrastructure on AWS that supports DevOps development projects
• Leverage AWS Cloud9 to write, run and debug your code
• Deploy various environments with AWS CloudFormation
• Host secure, highly scalable, and private Git repositories with AWS CodeCommit
• Integrate Git repositories into CI/CD pipelines  Automate build, test, and packaging code with AWS CodeBuild
• Securely store and leverage Docker images and integrate them into your CI/CD pipelines
• Build CI/CD pipelines to deploy applications on Amazon EC2, serverless applications, and container-based applications
• Implement common deployment strategies such as “all at once,” “rolling,” and “blue/green”
• Integrate testing and security into CI/CD pipelines
• Monitor applications and environments using AWS tools and technologies
• Work in a team environment to solve real AWS use-case challenges in an AWS Jam
• Use DevOps best practices to develop, deliver, and maintain applications and services at high velocity on AWS List the advantages, roles, and responsibilities of small, autonomous DevOps teams Design and implement an infrastructure on AWS that supports DevOps development projects.
• Leverage AWS Cloud9 to write, run, and debug your code DevOps Engineering on AWS
• Use the combination of DevOps cultural philosophies, practices, and tools to increase your organization’s ability to develop, deliver, and maintain applications and services at high velocity on AWS.
