AZ-2008 DevOps Foundations: The Core Principles and Practices
Delivering software fast is no longer enough – it needs to be reliable, secure, and collaborative too. DevOps provides the frameworks, practices, and culture to make all of this happen in a consistent way.
Key topics
- Core DevOps values and how they shape modern IT structures.
- Working across development, operations, testing, and security as one team.
- CI/CD pipelines: from integration to delivery and deployment.
- Automating builds, tests, and releases to reduce manual effort.
- Observability, monitoring systems, and closing feedback loops.
- Managing risk, security requirements, and compliance within DevOps workflows.
Prerequisites
Some background in IT systems, software development, or operations is helpful – as is an openness to collaborative ways of working.
Target audience
Practitioners from development, operations, testing, infrastructure, security, and project management who want to understand DevOps as a discipline and apply it in their own context.
A strong DevOps foundation supports better decisions, clearer ownership, and faster delivery – and prepares teams for AI-augmented IT services and increasingly automated operating models.
