Infrastructure-as-Code: Path to DevOps

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.

Overview of the following tools will be given during the workshop:

• Bash|Capistrano|Sshoogr|Fabric

• Puppet|Chef

• VirtualBox

• Vagrant

• AWS EC2

• Jenkins

• Graphite

• LogStash

• Kibana/Grafana.

This course is suited both for developers who want to know more about operations and infrastructure world, and for operations people who want to get new ways of automating software delivery and maintenance. Suits for system administrators or developers who are responsible for the environment.
