DevOps Course with Certification Prep — CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes & Terraform

❇️ Skills & Tools You Will Learn

• DevOps Fundamentals & Culture: Understand the DevOps lifecycle, CI/CD principles, and how development and operations teams collaborate to ship software faster and more reliably.
• Linux & Shell Scripting: Spin up cloud-based Linux systems with SSH/SFTP key access, write shell scripts, and manage packages with Yum, apt, and dpkg.
• Version Control with Git: Apply Git branching strategies, manage pull and merge requests, and integrate GitLab CI into your workflow.
• CI/CD Pipelines with Jenkins: Install and configure Jenkins with master/slave setups and build pipeline-as-code for Java and web applications on AWS and GCP.
• Containerization with Docker: Build images with Dockerfiles, run multi-container apps with Docker Compose, use registries, and cluster with Docker Swarm.
• Orchestration with Kubernetes: Deploy and scale microservices with pods, services, auto-scaling, and rolling updates - plus OpenShift with Ansible playbooks.
• Infrastructure as Code with Terraform: Provision and manage cloud resources on AWS and GCP using repeatable, version-controlled Terraform workflows.
• Monitoring & Observability: Track systems in production with Grafana, Datadog, Nagios, Splunk, and the ELK stack.
• Cloud Capstone Project: Design and run a blue/green deployment on Kubernetes end-to-end - the kind of project you can walk through in interviews.
• Career Preparation: Get resume support, mock interviews, and portfolio guidance built around DevOps and cloud hiring in Canada and the US.
