About the course

Thank you for your interest in this course. Unfortunately, this content is no longer being supported, and some of it may be out of date. Search for AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional to find the most up-to-date content for your learning journey.

This course can be used as a stand-alone learning module but is also a mini-course and the first in a learning path that will prepare the student for the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional exam.

The mini-course has 3 sections, and the first section defines DevOps and the DevOps engineer professions. Section 1 goes on to define CI/CD automation, Disaster Recovery techniques, and Blue/Green Deployments. These are key concepts the DevOps Engineer must master for both the profession and the certification exam.

The second section of the course takes a deep dive on the AWS Developer Tools suite and its core components: CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline. These services are covered heavily in the DevOps Pro certification exam and warrant the detail and attention given in this section.

The final section revisits Blue/Green deployments in greater detail, as the topic is heavily covered on the exam, and also covers key topics related to Blue/Green deployments: Canary Deployments and A/B Testing.
Again, this course is designed to stand on its own or be the first in a series of mini-courses in preparation for the DevOps Pro exam.

What you will need

  • AWS has remove the prerequisite of having at least one of the AWS Associate level certifications. However, this is a very challenging exam and it is highly recommended to have gotten at least one Associate level certification prior to sitting for the DevOps Professional exam.

What are Hands-on Labs

What's the difference between theoretical knowledge and real skills? Practical real-world experience. That's where Hands-on Labs come in!
