This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization.
This specialization offers hands-on experience with the full DevOps lifecycle, from version control to cloud infrastructure and containerization. You’ll work with industry tools like Git, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Prometheus, and ArgoCD, gaining the skills to automate and manage software development workflows. By the end, you’ll be ready to apply DevOps practices in real-world environments.
The journey starts with CI/CD concepts and progresses through cloud infrastructure with AWS and containerization with Docker. You’ll also learn Kubernetes orchestration and application deployment at scale, along with monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana to manage performance.
The specialization is ideal for software engineers, system administrators, and anyone looking to automate software deployment. Basic programming and cloud knowledge is helpful, but not required. By the end of the specialization, you will be able to automate CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, deploy applications with Kubernetes, manage AWS infrastructure, and monitor performance with Prometheus and Grafana.
Applied Learning Project
Throughout the specialization, you will engage in hands-on projects where you'll implement what you've learned in real-world scenarios. From setting up cloud infrastructure with AWS to deploying containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes, you'll automate CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions and monitor system performance with Prometheus and Grafana. These projects will not only enhance your technical expertise but also prepare you for real-life DevOps roles, allowing you to solve complex challenges and streamline the software development lifecycle.
