Why Choose This Course
DevOps and SRE fundamentals: implementing continuous delivery LFS261 is an instructor-led training course that builds practical skills in continuous integration and continuous delivery across modern, cloud-native toolchains. Learners work through CI/CD concepts while applying them with Git for version control, Jenkins for CI, Docker for containerization, Docker Compose for local multi-service workflows, Kubernetes for scalable deployment, and GitOps practices using Argo CD for continuous delivery. The curriculum emphasizes how reliable automation shortens release cycles while maintaining availability, reliability, scalability, and security requirements common to production systems.
The course is positioned for engineers who need to ship changes safely and often: developers implementing pipelines, quality analysts building automated test gates, operations and site reliability engineers deploying and operating services, and build or release engineers standardizing packaging and rollout. The focus is on repeatable workflows such as enforcing code reviews and branch policies, writing pipelines as code, managing container images, and promoting releases with Git-centric change management. This approach helps teams improve software delivery performance without compromising production stability.
By the end of the course, you will have hands-on experience designing and running pipelines, packaging and scanning applications, deploying to Kubernetes, and operating GitOps-based delivery flows with Argo CD. The content stays tool-agnostic where appropriate while giving you concrete experience with widely adopted open-source technologies. A certificate of course attendance is included.
