DevOps CI/CD Pipeline Training Overview
Developers don’t use isolated software tools, so why learn tools in isolation? This DevOps CI/CD Pipeline training teaches attendees Git from the ground up, allowing them to securely push code to a remote Git repository. Next, attendees learn how to configure servers using a Configuration Management tool from code stored in Git. Finally, they integrate Git and Configuration Management with a CI/CD tool to build, test, and deploy their code into Test, Staging, and Production environments, creating an automated end-to-end DevOps pipeline.
The outline below can use your specific combination of technologies to create a custom class with the all tools you need and nothing you don't. For example, build a class covering Bitbucket-Ansible-CircleCI.

In addition, some courses are available as live, instructor-led training from one of our partners.
Objectives
- Leverage the fundamentals of Git so they can effectively share, collaborate, backup, and version any code.
- Use Configuration Management to spin up dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of servers and get exactly what is desired from each one, every time.
- Apply Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment to automatically download code and test it, and then make code approval requests from the larger dev team to be delivered to the end location.
Prerequisites
- Understanding the purpose of infrastructure servers, such as web servers, load balancers and database servers
- Familiarity with scripting of any kind
- Experience with working at the command line of either Unix, Linux or Windows PowerShell
- Experience with a text editor of any kind
