Bringing It All Together: A Day in the Life of a DevOps Project
DevOps is a continuous journey of collaboration, automation, and improvement. Follow a fictional project from code commit to deployment, learning how each DevOps practice – from CI/CD to monitoring and security – plays a role in delivering great software.
Ethical DevOps: Automation with a Conscience
Ethical DevOps means building automation with a conscience. It’s about ensuring fairness, protecting privacy, and making thoughtful choices about the impact of your software. Learn how to add ethical checks to your DevOps pipeline without sacrificing speed or innovation.
DevSecOps: Putting a Security Seatbelt on Your Code
Learn how DevSecOps adds a security seatbelt to every stage of your development process. Discover why shifting security left, automating checks, and treating security as everyone’s responsibility leads to safer, faster software releases.
Continuous Improvement: The Never-Ending DevOps Journey
Continuous improvement is the secret to DevOps success. Learn how small, ongoing tweaks and regular reflections help teams adapt, innovate, and stay ahead in the fast-paced world of software development. Like leveling up in a game, every iteration brings you closer to better code and happier users.
Fail Fast: Why DevOps Teams Embrace Mistakes
DevOps teams encourage failing fast – learning from mistakes and improving systems quickly. Discover why this mindset is key to innovation, and how blameless post-mortems, canary deployments, and continuous learning make teams stronger, more resilient, and better prepared for the next challenge.
DevOps Team Culture: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
DevOps isn’t just about tools – it’s about people. Learn how effective DevOps teams break down silos, share responsibilities, and foster a culture of collaboration, communication, and continuous improvement. It’s teamwork that makes the DevOps dream work, creating faster, more reliable software for happier teams and users.
DevOps Toolbox: Meet the Tools of the Trade
DevOps relies on a powerful set of tools to automate, streamline, and simplify software delivery. Meet the sidekicks of the DevOps world – Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, and Prometheus – and learn how they work together to make software teams faster, more efficient, and more reliable.
Monitoring & Observability: Sherlock Holmes for Your Systems
Monitoring and observability are like detective work for your systems – they help you catch issues early, understand performance, and prevent outages. Learn how to use logs, metrics, and traces to solve tech mysteries and keep your applications running smoothly.
Infrastructure as Code: Building Servers with Lego Blocks
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is like building servers with Lego blocks – clear, reusable instructions make every deployment consistent, predictable, and easy to replicate. Learn how IaC tools like Terraform and CloudFormation let you build scalable, version-controlled infrastructure without the chaos of manual setup.
Containers & Docker: Shipping Your App in a Box
Containers, like Docker, bundle an application and its dependencies into a portable, self-contained unit. This playful analogy compares containers to lunchboxes, explaining how they solve the “works on my machine” problem and make deployments consistent from development to production. Learn why containers are essential for modern software development.
