Overview

This accelerated Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps course, provides the knowledge and skills to design and implement DevOps processes and practices.

In just 3 days, you’ll learn how to plan for DevOps, use source control, scale Git for an enterprise, consolidate artifacts, design a dependency management strategy, manage secrets, implement continuous integration, implement a container build strategy, design a release strategy, set up a release management workflow, implement a deployment pattern, and optimize feedback mechanisms.

At the end of this course, you’ll sit the Microsoft exam, and achieve your Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps certification.

Through Firebrand’s Lecture | Lab | Review methodology, you’ll get certified at twice the speed of the traditional training and get access to courseware, learn from certified instructors, and train in a distraction-free environment.

Audience

This course is ideal for:

  • People interested in designing and implementing DevOps processes or in passing the Microsoft Azure DevOps Solutions certification exam.

Här är 8 skäl varför du ska genomföra din hos Firebrand Training:

  1. Du blir utbildad och certifierad på bara 3 dagar. Hos oss får du din utbildning och certifiering på rekordtid, en certifering du också genomför här på plats som en integrerad del av den intensiva, accelererade utbildningen.
  2. Allt är inkluderat. Ett engångsbelopp täcker alla kursmaterial, examen, boende och mat och erbjuder det mest kostnadseffektiva sättet att erhålla din kurs och certifiering på. Och detta utan några oannonserade ytterligare kostnader.
  3. Du klarar certifieringen första gången eller kan gå om kursen kostnadsfritt. Det är vår garanti. Vi är säkra på att du kommer klara din certifiering första gången. Men skulle du mot förmodan inte göra det kan du inom ett år komma tillbaks, delta i hela kursen igen, och bara betala för eventuella övernattningar och din examen. Allt annat är gratis.
  4. Du lär dig mer.Traditionella utbildningsdagar pågår kl. 09.00-16.00 med långa lunch- och fikapauser. Hos Firebrand Training får du minst 12 timmars effektiv och fokuserad kvalitetsutbildning varje dag tillsammans med din instruktör, utan vare sig privata eller arbetsrelaterade störande moment.
