Software containers are the future of app deployment—and an instrumental component of any DevOps strategy. They package everything a program needs to run, allowing developers to move applications from one environment to another relatively hassle free. In this course, cloud-computing luminary David Linthicum dives into the exciting world of software containers. David goes over the basics of containers, including an overview of the fundamental steps involved in building container-based software, followed by some examples of real-world applications that leverage containers. The course concludes with container standards and best practices, and the tools, processes, and skills a DevOps professional needs to work with them. Topics include: Containers vs. virtual machines When vs. when not to use containers Building new apps with containers Moving existing apps to containers Example container applications Standards, tools, processes, and skills Aanvraag indienen //

By automating configuration management, you can make your organization's systems more reliable, processes more repeatable, and server provisioning more efficient. In this course, learn the basics of infrastructure as code, including how to keep your configuration in a source repository and have it built and deployed like an application. Discover how to approach converting your systems over to becoming fully automated—from server configuration to application installation to runtime orchestration. Well-known DevOps practitioners Ernest Mueller and James Wickett dive into key concepts, and use a wide variety of tools to illustrate those concepts, including Chef, CloudFormation, Docker, Kubernetes, Lambda, and Rundeck. After you wrap up this course, you'll have the knowledge you need to start implementing an infrastructure as code strategy. Topics include: Testing your infrastructure Going from infrastructure code to artifacts Unit testing your infrastructure code Creating systems from your artifacts Instantiating your infrastructure from a defined model Provisioning with CloudFormation Immutable deployment with Docker Container orchestration with Kubernetes Aanvraag indienen //

DevOps is not a framework or a workflow. It's a culture that is overtaking the business world. DevOps ensures collaboration and communication between software engineers (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). With DevOps, changes make it to production faster. Resources are easier to share. And large-scale systems are easier to manage and maintain. In this course, well-known DevOps practitioners Ernest Mueller and James Wickett provide an overview of the DevOps movement, focusing on the core value of CAMS (culture, automation, measurement, and sharing). They cover the various methodologies and tools an organization can adopt to transition into DevOps, looking at both agile and lean project management principles and how old-school principles like ITIL, ITSM, and SDLC fit within DevOps. The course concludes with a discussion of the three main tenants of DevOps—infrastructure automation, continuous delivery, and reliability engineering—as well as some additional resources and a brief look into what the future holds as organizations transition from the cloud to serverless architectures. Topics include: What is DevOps? Understanding DevOps core values and principles Choosing DevOps tools Creating a positive DevOps culture Understanding agile and lean Building a continuous delivery pipeline Building reliable systems Looking into the future of DevOps Aanvraag indienen //

By applying lean and agile principles, engineering teams can deliver better systems and better business outcomes—both of which are crucial to the success of DevOps. In this course, instructors Ernest Mueller and Karthik Gaekwad discuss the theories, techniques, and benefits of agile and lean. Learn how they can be applied to operations teams to create a more effective flow from development into operations and accelerate your path of "concept to cash." In addition to key concepts, you can hear in-the-trenches examples of implementing lean and agile in real-world software organizations. Aanvraag indienen //
