Implementing DevOps Practices with Azure Training is an intermediate-level, hands-on course designed to help learners implement modern DevOps workflows using Microsoft Azure and Azure DevOps services. The course focuses on building automated, secure, and scalable CI/CD pipelines that support efficient application delivery in cloud environments.
Learners begin by understanding how DevOps principles align with Azure and how cloud-native DevOps practices improve collaboration, deployment speed, and system reliability. The course then explores Azure DevOps services, including Azure Boards, Repos, Pipelines, Artifacts, and Test Plans, and demonstrates how these tools work together to support the full DevOps lifecycle.
The training also covers Infrastructure as Code using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates and introduces Terraform for Azure-based deployments. Learners gain practical experience with monitoring and logging using Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics, along with integrating security and compliance checks into CI/CD pipelines.
By the end of the course, learners will have hands-on experience designing and managing Azure-based DevOps pipelines and applying best practices for automation, monitoring, and security, preparing them for real-world Azure DevOps and cloud engineering roles.
