DASA DevOps Fundamentals (inclusief examen)
Bij DevOps draait het om de samenwerking tussen ontwikkeling en beheer. Vandaar de naam: Dev staat voor Development en Ops voor Operations. Ofwel: DevOps!
200 Keer sneller software deployment, 30 keer hogere deployment frequentie en een change succesrate die 60 keer hoger ligt. Dit zijn de feiten! Organisaties als Netflix, Spotify en Facebook transformeren IT zeer succesvol door DevOps-pricipes te implementeren. U hoeft echter niet een hot internet- of een gigantische organisatie te zijn om DevOps te implementeren. Ook grote en kleine, jonge en oude bedrijven hebben hebben de transitie gemaakt en zijn zeer succesvol op dit vlak.
Onze cursus DASA DevOps Fundamentals is het begin van de ‘DevOps-reis’ voor elke organisatie. Verbeterde workflows en snellere deployment start met kennis van de fundamentele DevOps-concepten door iedereen die betrokken is in Agile- en/of DevOps-teams.
De tweedaagse cursus DASA DevOps Fundamentals biedt een uitgebreide introductie in Agile DevOps-principes, waarin de essentiële competenties worden behandeld die zijn gedefinieerd door de DevOps Agile Skills Association (DASA). In deze cursus leert u de DevOps-vocabulaire, -principes en -practices. Met behulp van key DevOps-concepten en -terminologie, real-life case studies, voorbeelden, groepsdiscussies en oefeningen krijgt u een fundamenteel begrip van DevOps.
