The primary goal of DevOps is to overcome the limitations
of traditional enterprise development by bridging the gap
between programmers, testers and QA, and IT operations.
The DevOps engineer is someone who understands all facets of the
software development lifecycle and works with these teams to
streamline the delivery process and improve the quality of software.
Do you want to speed up time to market, minimize software bugs and
shorten the lead time between fixes?
Skillsoft Aspire Learning
Journeys are designed to move people forward within their organizations.
These intentionally designed courses start by providing
traditional software developers – who are interested in
utilizing the full capabilities of the DevOps approach –
with the tools and skills they'll need to become enterprise developers.
They will start by immersing themselves in the DevOps
mindset and gain an understanding of DevOps vocabulary
and the DevOps Principles & Implementation Approach.
From there, enterprise developers may move into the DevOps developer
role that focuses on identifying and mastering key DevOps tools.
Next up is the DevOps lead, who designs best practices
and implements automation and continuous testing.
Eventually, if they aspire to, they can become a DevOps engineer who
brings together all the insights and knowledge acquired throughout their
journey to scale and integrate DevOps into their business strategy.
Let's take a look at what your Enterprise
Developer to DevOps Engineer Journey will entail.
The Enterprise Developer track is the first step
in the journey towards becoming a DevOps engineer.
Traditional developers often work on one aspect of the software development
lifecycle and may not have input into other teams within the enterprise.
Because of this, there may not be a clear flow of information
between programming, testing and QA, and IT operations.
This can affect quality and productivity.
Your journey will begin with the key concepts of getting started
in DevOps, including examining the role of people, processes,
and technologies in implementing DevOps, along with the tools that
can be used to facilitate team-driven DevOps development.
It also covers DevOps Agile development and
using tools for DevOps collaboration.
DevOps developers are typically focused on choosing and using a variety of
DevOps tools to implement continuous delivery, provisioning and automation.
Track 2 of your journey covers working with Git, Docker,
Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Jenkins, and SaltStack with DevOps.
The third step in becoming a DevOps engineer is the DevOps
lead role, which deals with working on best practices for
DevOps, cloud automation, and continuous testing.
The training in this track progresses towards the final role of the DevOps
engineer by using Docker to create and deploy containers for DevOps,
building pipelines using Docker in Jenkins, and implementing CI/CD for DevOps.
The fourth and last step to becoming a DevOps engineer
will bring together key learnings from your journey.
DevOps engineers at this stage can take their understanding of
DevOps and deepen it by concentrating on scaling DevOps for
the enterprise, incorporating continuous feedback, and
establishing success metrics and security protocols for DevOps.
So where will your journey take you?
All of our Aspire Journeys for
Technology and Developer are created based on a proven approach to
learning design, which takes advantage of multimodal learning tools.
From videos to books, learners have access to a multitude of resources
that will orient them to key work functions and daily challenges.
Learners can also apply concepts and implement DevOps best practices
with hands-on practice labs – done virtually using real equipment
and applications – so that each learner can practice and develop
their skills without compromising their own company's systems.
At the end of each track within a journey, users must
demonstrate their newfound knowledge by passing a rigorous final exam.
Once a journey is fully completed, learners can continue
their growth and move on to another area of study.
DevOps engineer can move on to Business & Leadership for DevOps Engineer track,
or the Project Lead to Senior Software Project Manager, or Software
Project Lead to Advanced Scrum Master journeys, at their own pace, enabling
employees to continually learn, evolve, and develop their skills.
