DevOps embodies the swift and dependable delivery of applications or software, bridging the gap between development and operations.
The benefits of DevOps encompass enriched communication, collaborative teamwork, and the amalgamation of processes and tools throughout the IT lifecycle. This includes streamlining software delivery and infrastructure updates through automation, embracing agile and lean methodologies, IT service management (ITSM), and the ongoing refinement of DevOps practices.


DevOps Fundamentals

Fundamentals of DevOps

This course gives an introduction to Linux, a versatile and stable operating system used in business and on many of the servers on the internet. The course is suitable as preparation for the CompTIA Linux+ examinations. 

We concentrate on the command line rather than the graphical user interface (GUI) with the most commonly used commands and utilities described in detail as are the use of piping, redirection, wildcards and the vim editor.

The system is fairly easy to learn and use and we expect this course to be a fun and interesting way to master it.

Although based on Ubuntu, the commands and principles learnt may be applied to all other versions of Linux, including Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE and Arch and to all versions of Unix including Solaris and AIX.

The course takes the format of a workshop, with a mix of lecture, working examples and practical exercises. Although the content may be customised, at least 2 days are normally needed to cover the core elements.

Full course notes are provided along with sample files and free software tools for use in accessing a Linux server.


Linux Fundamentals

This course gives an introduction to the writing of Linux shell scripts using the Bash shell. The course is suitable as preparation for the RHCSA and CompTIA Linux+ examinations.

An editor will be used to create and test shell scripts which will cover the use of variables and arrays, select statements, loop constructs, sub-scripts and functions.

This course provides insight for non-technical stakeholders into Cloud-native computing, Microservices Architecture, Containerization (such as Docker), and Kubernetes. Its goal is to make you understand what they entail, what necessitated them, and the value they can add to your company. 


k8s Non Tech

Cloud native computing: MSA, Containers and Kubernetes for Non Technicals

Master container technologies like Docker, Podman, and CRI-O within the context of Kubernetes clusters. 
This course focuses on Kubernetes-specific implementations, omitting standalone features like networking, persistence, 
and resource/health management found in traditional Docker/Podman environments. Perfect for those using containers in Kubernetes. 


Docker/Podman For K8S

Docker/OCI Container for Kubernetes

For companies that have their sights set firmly on the future, Container technologies such as Docker and Podman are  the next step up that their teams need to take. With a solid grasp of the benefits Containers  has to offer, your department will be at the forefront, delivering outstanding efficiency and smooth, reliable performances. 

Book a course with us and your team will be led each step of the way, by one of our experienced and very talented instructors. They will be on hand to answer any queries your team has, and this level of attention is a given, whether your team gets to grips with Containers as an online course, or an onsite experience.



During the course students can either use **docker** or **podman**
