DevOps Engineering 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 andservices 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/CDpipelines that build and deploy applications on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), serverlessapplications, and container-based applications. Labs for multi-pipeline workflows and pipelines that deployto multiple environments are also included.

Course objectives:

  • 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
  • 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
