Course Breakdown In 8 Easy Modules
Continuous Delivery Concepts
Collaborative management, design practices, continuous integration, continuous testing, infrastructures, toolchains, security, monitoring, and delivery / deployment practices, work on incremental changes frequently using automation and fast feedback loops.
Design Practices for CD
High-performance CD ecosystems use loosely coupled API-based modular service-oriented architectures (e.g. microservices) and 12-Factor Apps design practices, enable apps to be separately packaged, processed, tested and delivered in separate images or containers.
Continuous Integration and Testing
Code changes are committed frequently to a version-managed trunk branch. Images built from merged code are saved in an artifact repository. Tests conducted throughout the pipeline catch risky failures before release while completing tests quickly to avoid bottlenecks
Continuous Delivery & Deployment
Automated configuration management, release automation, modular packages deployed using orchestrated virtualized, containerized, applications enable deployable production-ready artifacts and are deployed safely using strategies such as Blue/Green, Feature Flag, and Canary

Infrastructure & Toolchains
Resilient, elastic infrastructures, such as virtual and cloud-based systems defined “as-code” and “as-a-service” support on-demand, auto-scalable, immutable deployment environments. Tests such as Chaos Monkey identify failure points for improving the reliability of infrastructure and toolchains.
Continuous Monitoring & Improvement
Real-time active monitoring and analytics make tests, processes, and application performance measures visible for real-time decision analytics at each stage of the pipeline to prevent bottlenecks and identify improvements.
Security Assurance
Vulnerabilities are identified and fixed as a part of the pipeline by integrating security practices into the team activities, processes, and toolchains, including automated security scans and monitoring of code, images, and deployments.
Collaborative Culture
Align cross-functional lean, agile teams around business goals. Embrace “The Three Ways of DevOps”. Master collaboration, affinity, effective tooling, and organization changes that support increasing scale with quality built-in.
