Master DevOps: CI/CD, Automation & Monitoring

This specialization is designed to equip professionals with the essential skills needed to implement and manage end-to-end DevOps workflows. Through a blend of foundational theory and hands-on labs, this specialization prepares you to tackle the challenges of modern cloud-based software delivery pipelines. The specialization includes four courses: DevOps Essentials and Version Control with Git – Establish a strong base in Git fundamentals, branching strategies, GitHub workflows and team collaboration best practices. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment – Learn to build, secure, and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins pipelines, integrating automated testing, artifact management, and rollback strategies. Infrastructure as Code and Monitoring – Master Ansible roles and playbooks, Terraform modules, and AWS CloudFormation templates for reliable, repeatable scalable provisioning. Containerization and Orchestration – Gain hands-on experience with Prometheus and Grafana for cloud monitoring, metrics and alerting, and with Docker and Kubernetes (including Helm) to deploy and scale containerized applications. By the end of this specialization, you will be prepared to design and operate fully automated CI/CD delivery pipelines, provision and manage cloud resources programmatically, implement proactive monitoring and alerting, and orchestrate containerized workloads, ensuring high velocity, reliability, and observability in any cloud-native environment.
