DevOps Training
Many teams have rightfully identified continuous integration and continuous delivery, or CI/CD, as organizational goals they’re eager to achieve. However, there are potential roadblocks to achieving CI/CD success — choosing the right tools, following industry-standard best practices, understanding the cost of the technology, and training existing staff, to name a few.
If your team has identified CI/CD as a priority, OpenLogic’s DevOps training course is exactly what you need to ensure the success of your team’s journey to CI/CD.

About Our DevOps Training Course
This course is ideal for your development, operations, and QAC teams. It covers teams working on traditional applications, microservices, service mesh-enabled applications, teams delivering monolithic binaries, and even teams delivering an appliance model.
What Will You Learn?
The course is designed not only to align teams on their use of DevOps language, but also to put theory into practice by building a production-ready CI/CD pipeline through project-based labs.
Using a combination of pair programming and instructor-led classroom lectures, we help your team understand CI/CD fundamentals and then work on live systems to deliver a practical solution.
By the time this 5-day course is completed, your team will have a survey of the existing open source tools common in many large enterprises along with a custom CI/CD pipeline ready to deploy an application into your lower environment.

How is the Course Delivered?
The CI/CD course is delivered on-site or via online classroom as a 5-day intensive course (8 hours each day). The minimum class size is 5 participants, and we recommend 15 or fewer attendees due to its lab-heavy nature and collaborative objectives.
Before finalizing your training agenda, we schedule a 60-minute introductory call with you to ensure the recommended tool selection maps to your organizational goals as well as to establish any custom elements you may require. For example, your team may have already decided on using a particular tool such as Jenkins or GitLab elsewhere in the organization, and we will prepare our content accordingly.
