Overview
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.

"Very impressed with the dedication from the instructor and how well structured the sessions are. The course is very intense since it's only 3 days long, however, the quality of the training makes it worthwhile. I'd recommend going in person since you will find it much easier to focus and likely get more out of the course overall."
Simon Brown, Softcat. (8/9/2023 (Friday) to 10/9/2023 (Sunday))

The interactive nature of the online sessions and the practical hands-on labs ensured that I gained a deep understanding of AWS solutions and best practices. I can confidently say that Firebrand Training played a pivotal role in helping me achieve AWS Solution Architect Associate certification. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to excel in AWS cloud architecture."

AB, Marketaxess. (31/7/2023 (Monday) to 1/8/2023 (Tuesday))
"Trainer was excellent, a lot of information, great experience"
Olawale Abdullahi, BPP University. (31/7/2023 (Monday) to 1/8/2023 (Tuesday))
"The trainer provided excellent delivery and commitment to enabling me to understand the AWS platform, services and how they interact with each other. the topics where discussed in great depth with live demos and real world analogies and examples to help embed the knowledge rather than just reading from a slide deck. the course is extremely intense but the way the content delivery was structured with a mix of slides, live demos, labs and open classroom discussions helped enable me to gain a great insight into the AWS platform."
