Learn the basic concepts, technology, use cases, and benefits of implementing DevOps on AWS. DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increase an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. This speed enables organizations to better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market.

DevOps process can be visualized as an infinite loop, comprising these steps: plan, code, build, test, release, deploy, operate, monitor. Throughout each phase, teams collaborate and communicate to maintain alignment, velocity, and quality.
This course in the DevOps on AWS series focuses on code, build and test parts of the workflow. We will discuss topics such as source control, best practices for Continuous Integration, and how to use the right tools to measure code quality, by identifying workflow steps that could be automated.
This course is part of the DevOps on AWS XSeries program.

Prerequisites:
This course is part of the 4-course DevOps on AWS XSeries. The first course introduces you to essential AWS products, services, and common solutions. The second course covers the first three steps of DevOps philosophy: "Code, Build, Test". The next two steps, "Release and Deploy" are covered in the third course. And then finally, the fourth course of the series covers the final steps "Operate and Monitor".
We recommend taking all four DevOps on AWS courses in the prescribed order for a logical and thorough learning experience.
Syllabus
Week 1
This week, you will be introduced to DevOps cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that you can use to deliver applications and services faster and at a higher quality. Building off this knowledge, you will get hands-on with AWS services, such as AWS Cloud9, by setting up a development environment for a sample application.
Week 2
In the second week, you will discover why it’s important for teams to incorporate testing into the software development lifecycle at different stages of the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. You will get hands-on with AWS solutions by performing various application tests with AWS CodeBuild, automate your release process with AWS CodePipeline, and automate code deployments with AWS CodeDeploy.
