DevOps: Foundations and Tools
This course is part of DevOps Foundations: Software Development Optimization.
This comprehensive course addresses the common challenges between software development and operations teams by introducing the DevOps culture and its foundational tools. Designed for the modern digital era where businesses need to be agile in software delivery while maintaining platform stability, this course equips learners with practical skills to thrive in this environment. You'll begin with Linux fundamentals, mastering command-line operations in Ubuntu that are transferable to other distributions. The course then explores Git and GitHub for effective version control, considered industry standards for collaborative development. As you progress, you'll dive into the core pillars of DevOps: Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and containerization with Docker. These technologies enable faster, more reliable software delivery while maintaining system stability. By completing this course, you'll gain the competencies needed to manage software efficiently from Linux systems, implement effective version control strategies, and leverage containerization to ensure smooth deployment pipelines—whether working individually or as part of a development team.

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to DevOps philosophy and practices, addressing the growing need for streamlined collaboration between development and operations teams in today's fast-paced digital market. Participants will first establish a solid foundation in Linux fundamentals, focusing on the Ubuntu distribution while learning essential command-line operations that apply across different Linux environments. The curriculum then transitions to version control using Git and GitHub, the industry-standard tools for managing software development across individual contributors and teams. Students will master the GitFlow pattern for organizing branches and maintaining code quality. The course explores the core pillars of DevOps methodology, including Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines that automate testing and deployment processes. Participants will learn about Infrastructure as Code (IaC), which represents a paradigm shift in systems management by enabling infrastructure configuration through code rather than manual processes. Finally, the course covers containerization with Docker, teaching students how to package applications with their dependencies for consistent deployment across different environments. Throughout the learning experience, participants will understand how these technologies and practices collectively enable organizations to deliver software updates more frequently and reliably.
