AWS DevOps Training Overview
Accelebrate's DevOps Engineering on AWS training course teaches attendees how to use DevOps cultural philosophies, practices, and tools to increase their organizations’ ability to develop, deliver, and maintain applications and services at high velocity on AWS.
This AWS course covers continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), infrastructure as code, microservices, monitoring, logging, communication, and collaboration. Participants gain experience building and deploying AWS CloudFormation templates and CI/CD pipelines that build and deploy applications on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), as well as serverless applications and container-based applications.
Accelebrate is an AWS Training Partner (ATP) and this hands-on official AWS Classroom Training course is taught by an accredited Amazon Authorized Instructor (AAI).
