What is DevOps?
DevOps (development and operations) is a software development phrase used to describe a type of agile relationship between Development and IT Operations. The goal of DevOps is to improve communication, collaboration, and processes between the various roles in the software development cycle in order to improve and speed up software delivery.
DevOps emphasizes integration between software developers and IT operations: Rather than seeing these two groups as silos who pass things along but don’t really work together, DevOps recognizes the interdependence of software development and IT operations, and this approach helps an organization produce software and IT services more rapidly, with frequent iterations.
DevOps Institute is dedicated to advancing the human elements of DevOps success. The role-based approach to certification focuses on the most modern competencies and hireable skills required by today’s organizations adopting DevOps.

Generale, and Disney that engage and inspire learners, leveraging multimedia and
interactive exercises that bring the learning experience to life, including the Three Ways
as highlighted in the Phoenix Project by Gene Kim and the latest from the State of
DevOps and DevOps Institute Upskilling reports.
Learners will gain an understanding of DevOps, the cultural and professional movement
that stresses communication, collaboration, integration, and automation to improve the
flow of work between software developers and IT operations professionals.
This certification positions learners to successfully complete the DevOps Foundation examination.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Foundation – scheduled March 21-22, 2024
The Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Foundation℠ course is an introduction to the principles &
practices that enable an organization to reliably and economically scale critical services.
Introducing a site-reliability dimension requires organizational re-alignment, a new focus on
engineering & automation, and the adoption of a range of new working paradigms. The course highlights the evolution of SRE and its future direction, and equips participants with
the practices, methods, and tools to engage people across the organization involved in
reliability and stability evidenced through the use of real-life scenarios and case stories. Upon
completion of the course, participants will have tangible takeaways to leverage when back in
the office such as understanding, setting and tracking Service Level Objectives (SLO’s).
This course positions learners to successfully complete the SRE Foundation certification exam.
DevOps Leader – scheduled February 15-16, 2024
The DevOps Leader (DOL) course is a unique and practical experience for participants who want to take a transformational leadership approach and make an impact within their organization by implementing DevOps. Leading people through a DevOps evolution requires new skills, tools, innovative thinking, and transformational leadership. Leaders up, down and across an organization must align and collaborate to break down silos and evolve the organization.
The course highlights the human dynamics of cultural change and equips participants with practices, methods, and tools to engage people across the DevOps spectrum through the use of real-life scenarios and case studies. Upon completion of the course, participants will have tangible takeaways to leverage when back in the office such as understanding Value Stream Mapping.
This certification positions learners to successfully complete the DevOps Leader exam.
DevSecOps Foundation
The DevSecOps Foundation (DOSF) course explains how DevOps security practices differ from other security approaches and provides the education needed to understand and apply data and security sciences. Participants learn the purpose, benefits, concepts, and vocabulary of DevSecOps; particularly how DevSecOps roles fit with a DevOps culture and organization. At the end of this course, participants will understand using “security as code” with the intent of making security and compliance consumable as a service. The course is designed to teach practical steps on how to integrate security programs into DevOps practices and highlights how professionals can use data and security science as the primary means of protecting the organization and customer.
This course positions learners to successfully complete the DevSecOps Foundation exam.
Continuous Testing Foundation scheduled May 27-28, 2024
The Continuous Testing Foundation (CTF) is a comprehensive course addressing testing in a DevOps environment and covers concepts such as the active use of test automation, testing earlier in the development cycle, and instilling testing skills in developers, quality assurance, security, and operational teams. The course is relevant for every modern IT professional involved in defining or deploying a DevOps testing strategy for their organization, as test engineering is the backbone of DevOps and the primary key for successful DevOps pipeline to support digital transformation.
This certification positions learners to successfully complete the Continuous Testing Foundation exam.
Certified Agile Service Manager (CASM) – scheduled April 25-26, 2024
This course provides an introduction to Agile Service Management, the application, and integration of agile thinking into service management processes and process design projects. Agile thinking improves IT’s effectiveness and efficiency and enables IT to continue to deliver value in the face of changing requirements.
As Dev and Ops have been working in parallel with Dev focused on Agile/Scrum and Ops focused on ITSM/ITIL®, this course strives to bring together individual achievements to deliver full business value. The course cross-pollinates Agile and ITSM practices to support end-to-end Agile Service Management so Dev starts to manage services instead of products and Ops and ITSM become more agile by scaling to “just enough” process leading to improved flow of work and time to value.
Agile Service Management helps IT to meet customer requirements faster, improve the collaboration between Dev and Ops, overcome constraints in process workflows by taking an iterative approach to process design that will improve the velocity of process improvement teams to get more done.
This course positions learners to successfully complete the Certified Agile Service Manager exam.
