DevOps is a growing movement that encourages closer collaboration of developers and system operations to help business goals to be achieved efficiently and on time. Software development and infrastructure scaling are very fast-paced nowadays. That brings a necessity of larger automation, measurement and information sharing for all involved processes.

Description
This 3-day workshop focuses on solving challenges that organisations face when implementing DevOps initiatives. It introduces principles of DevOps and tools that help reach full automation of infrastructure provisioning and software delivery. Theoretical background as well as practical hands-on examples of tools like Ansible, Docker, AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Serverless and many others are given during this workshop.
The course runs in a small group with a lot of discussion and experience exchange. Attendees will receive references to documents, books, videos and GitHub projects for continuous, independent self-development. You will also receive the optional coding assignment for skill polishing. Homework will be reviewed and supplemented by constructive feedback.
