About this course
Automate IT operations end to end. Over five days you will use scripting and automation coding concepts, manage system configuration with infrastructure as code, and build continuous integration and delivery pipelines.
What you'll learn
- Use scripting and automation to streamline IT workflows and manage enterprise systems efficiently.
- Automate configuration, provisioning, and maintenance using infrastructure-as-code and modern toolchains.
- Build and manage CI pipelines to automate testing, ensure quality, and improve collaboration between teams.
- Implement secure, compliant delivery pipelines that enable rapid, reliable deployment and operational efficiency.
Curriculum
4 modules
- Use code to support automation: Write, test, and maintain automation scripts using variables, functions, and loops to streamline IT operations.
- Apply source control techniques: Version and manage code using Git commands, branching strategies, and semantic versioning.
- Explain concepts related to Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define and apply IaC principles such as reusability, immutability, and idempotency.
- Troubleshoot common issues with the code life cycle: Identify and resolve syntax, runtime, and merge errors that occur during development and deployment.
- Use configuration management techniques: Deploy solutions and manage configuration drift using automation tools and state management.
- Compare and contrast approaches to automation: Distinguish between remote vs. local, declarative vs. imperative, and push vs. pull methods.
- Interact with RESTful systems: Perform create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations using REST APIs and associated tools.
- Troubleshoot common configuration issues: Resolve API communication failures, certificate problems, and syntax errors in configuration files.
- Explain environmental factors related to CI management: Apply concepts of secrets management, artifact management, and task runners.
- Explain workflow management concepts in CI: Use orchestration, dependency handling, and automated rollback techniques to manage CI pipelines.
- Analyze configurations to manage basic automation pipelines: Configure hooks, triggers, and pipeline definitions using CI tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
- Implement techniques of continuous delivery: Apply deployment strategies such as canary, blue-green, rolling, and in-place releases.
- Explain concepts related to application service levels: Interpret SLOs, SLAs, uptime, MTTR, and feedback loops in delivery environments.
- Compare and contrast methods to secure connections to providers: Configure CLI, SDK, and Identity & Access Management (IAM) settings to protect automated delivery pipelines.
Who it's for
System administrators and IT operations staff moving into automation.
Before you start
- 2–3 years in a core IT operations role (e.g., network, cloud, or systems administrator); Network+, Linux+, Cloud+, or Server+ recommended, or similar certifications.
