Devops Master Courseware

'Besides the DevOps Master Courseware (ISBN: 978 94 018 313 7) publication you are advised to obtain the publication The DevOps Handbook: How to Create World-Class Agility, Reliability, and Security in Technology Organizations (ISBN: 978 19 427 8800 3).

The word DevOps is a contraction of 'Development' and 'Operations'. DevOps is a set of best practices that emphasize the collaboration and communication of IT-professionals (developers, operators, and support staff) in the lifecycle of applications and services, leading to:

*Continuous Integration: merging all developed working copies to a shared mainline several times a day

*Continuous Deployment: release continuously or as often as possible

*Continuous Feedback: seek feedback from stakeholders during all lifecycle stages



The DevOps practices covered in this certification are derived from the Three Ways:

-The First Way is to enable the work to move fast from left to right, from Development to Operations to the customer.

-The Second Way is to enable feedback to go fast from right to left, from all stakeholders back into the value stream.

-The Third Way is to enable learning by creating a high-trust culture of experimentation and risk-taking.



Moreover, the crucial subjects of security in all stages, and maintaining compliance during change are covered.

The certification has been developed in cooperation with experts in the DevOps work field.
