How does software get built, tested, and deployed? How does a team of multiple people work on a code base? When someone says DevOps, what does it mean? This course will help you answer all these questions and have some fun along the way! We’ll cover the basic steps you need to take to dive into the wonderful world of DevOps and product management. The course begins by answering the question: “What is a project?” We will then explore two different project management methodologies: Waterfall and Agile. The course ends with an introduction to DevOps concepts and the rest of the CI/CD pipeline.
How does software get built, tested, and deployed? How does a team of multiple people work on a code base? When someone says DevOps, what does it mean? This course will help you answer all of these questions and have some fun along the way! We’ll cover the basic steps you need to take to dive into the wonderful world of DevOps and product management.
In the first section of this course, we will focus on answering the question, “What is a project?”. We’ll break a project down into the individual pieces that need to be defined before talking about project management best practices. At the end of the section we’ll cover the Software Development Lifecyle process (SDLC) and we’ll see how this can be used to build new applications.
In the second section of this course, we’ll explore two different project management methodologies, Waterfall and Agile. It’s important to understand the use cases behind them so you can use them in the proper situations. We’ll end the section learning about Scrum, Kanban, and how DevOps can work with Agile to help you quickly build, test, and deploy your software.
In the third section of this course, we’ll expand on our DevOps concepts. Starting off with source control you’ll learn how to properly store your code and collaborate with your team members to make changes. Next, we’ll see how we can automate the building stage of our application with AWS CodeBuild and Jenkins. Finally, you’ll get a chance to go hands on in your own lab environment and practice using these best practices.
In the final section of this class, we’ll expand on our DevOps concepts and fill out the rest of our CI/CD pipeline. We’ll add in a testing stage and finally a deployment stage. By the end of the pipeline, you’ll have software that works and is ready to go to production. We’ll end things out with a hands-on exercise where you’ll get to combine all of the AWS Code services into your very own CI/CD pipeline.

Q. Are there any prerequisites for this course?
A. There are no required prerequisites for this course. However, we recommend that leaners have a general understanding of cloud computing and security concepts.
Q. Are there hands-on activities in this course?
A. Yes, this course includes hands-on lab exercises. However, these exercises are restricted to learners in the Verified Certificate Track.
Q. How much time will this course require?
A. If following the weekly schedule, learners should plan to spend 2-4 hours per week on this course. However, learners may complete the course at their own pace.
Q. Will I receive a certificate for this course?
A. Learners enrolled in the Verified Certificate path will receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course.
Q. What is the grading policy for this course?
A. All learners may take weekly quizzes, which are not graded and allow unlimited retries.
Learners in the Verified Certificate track are able to take the final course assessment in the course. Passing the final assessment is required to obtain the Verified Certificate.
Learners in the Audit track will not have access to the final assessment, and will not be able to earn a certificate.
Q. When will course content be available?
A. All course content will be available when the course opens. Since AWS frequently publishes service updates and new features/functionality, there may be a need to update the course content during its lifetime. If course content is updated, a notice will be placed on the course home page.
Q. Will this course help me prepare for an AWS Certification?
A. Earning an AWS Certification typically requires both knowledge and experience. While this course, if taken in isolation, will provide you with baseline information about cloud security, it will not equip you to earn an AWS Certification.
