DevOps Training
Institute in Hyderabad

DevOps is a software development approach involving Continuous Development, Continuous Testing, Continuous Integration, Deployment and Monitoring.

The above process spans across the traditionally siloed teams of Development and Operations and DevOps tries to remove the barriers between them.

So, a DevOps Engineer works basically with the DEVelopment and OPerations team. It's the link between those 2 main parts.

Topics Covered

SDLC Model

DevOps Practises

DevOps won't have much value without the cloud, and the cloud won't have much value without DevOps.

The centralized nature of Cloud Computing provides DevOps automation with a standard and centralized platform for developing, testing and deployment.

As a DevOps engineer, you would be working with infrastructure on cloud environments. So, during the first week we are going to work on creating servers in the AWS environment along with some other basics in AWS Cloud.

AWS you should know the fundamentals of:

IAM service - managing users and permission

VPC service - your private network

EC2 service - virtual server

Introduction of Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing Significance in DevOps

Creating AWS Account

Understanding Global Infrastructure

Setting Up Remote EC2 Servers

Git Bash

Putty & Puttygen

Working With SSH Keys

Setting With Firewall - Security Groups

AWS has much more services, but you only need to learn the services you/your company actually needs. E.g. When the K8s cluster runs on AWS you need to learn the EKS service as well.

AWS is the most powerful and most widely used one, but also the most difficult one.

Linux is everywhere. Today, Linux runs many of the technologies that power up devices and services. From mobile phones, Google applications, social media networks, to GPS services, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) products etc.

Since DevOps teams share many responsibilities, A DevOps engineer who knows how to configure operating systems and networking technologies will potentially have few software delivery obstacles.

Knowing how to configure Linux for DevOps is essential to a continual and speedy software delivery process

You also need to know the basics of Networking & Security in order to configure the infrastructure, e.g.:

configure Firewalls to secure the application

understand how IP addresses, ports and DNS works

Load Balancers

Proxy Server

HTTP/HTTPS

However, to draw a line here between DevOps and IT Operations: You are not the SysAdmin. So you don't need advanced knowledge here.

As a DevOps Engineer, you'll work collaboratively with development and operation teams to deploy and operate our systems.

This week, we are going to understand how the application architectures work and we set up practically those applications in AWS EC2 Instances Manually. Also, will further proceed to set up our applications in an automated way using Ansible and streamline our operations and processes.

Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) are often cited as pillars of successful DevOps Implementation. To establish and optimize the CI/CD model and reap the benefits, companies need to build an effective pipeline to automate their build, integration and testing processes. At a high level, the pipeline “includes compiling, packaging, and running tests.

For the next three weeks, we are going to cover the tools which help in making the pipelines to deliver the code to production in a smooth manner. We will use GIT/GITHUB, Will talk about build tools like Maven, Will talk about testing tools using CodeQuality testing using SonarQube, Will talk about Nexus Manager.

Configuration management is important in DevOps because it helps you automate tedious tasks or take away complexity.

Without automation, building and maintaining large-scale modern IT systems can be resource-intensive and can lead to increased risk due to manual error.

Configuration management is important because it gives you consistency of systems and software enables the ability to scale infrastructure and software systems without having to correspondingly scale administrative staff to manage those systems.

Topics Covered - Ansible

Complexity in Infrastructure Management

Introduction to Configuration Management Tools

PULL vs PUSH Based Configuration Management

Nowadays it’s critical to get your releases out fast, which requires having an automated CI/CD pipeline that takes your code from text to binaries to a deployed environment.

Implementing an automated pipeline in the past has been challenging, especially when dealing with legacy applications. This is where Dockers and Kubernetes come in.

Kubernetes has revolutionized the way we deploy and manage our containerized applications.

Using Kubernetes, you gain simplified application deployment. Kubernetes is one of modern DevOps tools which reduces the deployments from days to minutes.

We are going to discuss containerization technologies and the basics of Docker. Then we are going to talk on kubernetes, where we will implement the Kubernetes Production Cluster and deploy the applications on the Production Cluster.
