The DevOps Way (ICP-FDO)

The DevOps Way is a practitioner’s guide to understanding DevOps and how it helps you, and the enterprises you are part of, succeed at scale.

We’ll also explore the various technologies which enable DevOps at scale and how DevOps plays a vital role in the enterprise. On completing this DevOps course you will have gained comprehensive knowledge of the beliefs and behaviours that underpin DevOps, enabling you to provide a greater and more rewarding contribution towards the mission of your enterprise.

“DevOps is more than meets the eye, ie Developments and Infrastructure Operations: it is the about optimizing the whole. Through exhaustive and well organized content, explanations and open discussions, Barry helped me understand this ethos and how this knowledge can complement Agile to enable teams to reach their full potential and help companies become more effective.”
