AWS DevOps Engineer

This AWS DevOps with Open Source Tools course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to leverage open-source tools and the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform to implement efficient DevOps practices. This course equips participants with the knowledge and skills required to automate and streamline software development and deployment processes using a combination of AWS services and popular open-source tools.

This course covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Introduction to DevOps: Understanding the principles, benefits, and practices of DevOps and how it helps in achieving continuous integration, delivery, and deployment.

• AWS Fundamentals: A high-level overview of essential AWS services, including EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud), S3 (Simple Storage Service), IAM (Identity and Access Management), and more, to establish a foundation for building DevOps workflows.

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Introduction to tools like Terraform or CloudFormation for automating the provisioning and management of infrastructure resources on AWS, enabling the implementation of infrastructure as code.

• Continuous Integration (CI): Configuring and utilizing popular CI tools such as Jenkins, or CircleCI to automate the build, test, and integration processes for software development.

• Configuration Management: Using tools like Ansible, Chef, or Puppet to manage and automate the configuration of infrastructure resources, enabling consistent and scalable deployments.

• Containerization and Orchestration: Leveraging Docker for containerization and Kubernetes for container orchestration to create portable and scalable environments for deploying applications.

• Continuous Deployment (CD): Implementing continuous deployment pipelines using AWS CodePipeline and other open-source tools to automate the deployment of applications into different environments.

• Monitoring and Logging: Utilizing tools such as Amazon CloudWatch, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana), or Prometheus and Grafana to monitor and gain insights into the performance and health of applications and infrastructure.

• Security and Compliance: Understanding best practices for securing AWS resources and implementing security controls, as well as addressing compliance requirements in a DevOps environment.

Throughout the course, students will engage in hands-on labs and exercises to reinforce the concepts learned. By the end of the course, students should have a solid understanding of how to combine AWS services and open-source tools to implement effective DevOps practices, enabling them to improve the efficiency, agility, and quality of software development and deployment processes.
