Course Description:
DevOps is how modern companies ship software faster, safer, and at scale — and AWS is the platform most of them build it on. From Netflix to Airbnb to thousands of startups, DevOps engineers are the ones automating deployments, keeping systems reliable, and turning infrastructure into code. This course takes you from zero DevOps experience to confidently building and running real-world CI/CD pipelines, containerized applications, and automated infrastructure on AWS.
Whether you’re a developer wanting to own your own deployments, a sysadmin pivoting into DevOps, or someone preparing for an AWS DevOps certification, this course is structured to build your skills progressively — starting with core cloud and Linux fundamentals and moving into hands-on, production-style implementation.
