— Kubernetes orchestration: Pods, Deployments, Services
— CI/CD for Kubernetes-based applications

Monitoring and Feedback Loops
— Logging, tracing, and metrics (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana)
— Integrating feedback into the pipeline
— Ensuring reliability and observability

Security in DevOps (DevSecOps)
— Vulnerability scanning in code and container images
— Secrets management (HashiCorp Vault, Kubernetes Secrets)
— Security policies and compliance within pipelines

Hands-on Projects
— Building a complete CI/CD pipeline from scratch
— Migrating a legacy application to cloud infrastructure
— Automating infrastructure provisioning and deployment using real-world scenarios

Course Outcome:

Upon completion, you’ll be able to confidently design and implement scalable, secure, and resilient CI/CD pipelines aligned with industry best practices. You’ll emerge as a skilled DevOps engineer ready to streamline software delivery in modern engineering teams.
