DevOps Course Description:

A SAFe 4 Certified DevOps Practitioner (SDP) is a SAFe professional responsible for improving the complete flow of value through a Continuous Delivery Pipeline from idea to operational solution. This two-day course [version 4.5 based] provides a comprehensive overview for understanding the DevOps competencies needed to accelerate time-to-market by improving the flow of value through the Continuous Delivery Pipeline, and addresses the following:

• Describe what DevOps is and why it is important

• Build a culture of shared responsibility across the value stream

• Continuously explore user needs

• Describe architectural considerations for continuous delivery

• Build and integrate the system continuously

• Improve the quality of the system with continuous testing

• Deploy systems to staging and production environments continuously

• Release systems to customers and manage recovery as necessary

• Maintain security by inspecting continuously for vulnerabilities

• Measure the flow through the Continuous Delivery Pipeline

• Support a SAFe DevOps transformation in the enterprise

Attendees will map the current value stream through their delivery pipeline from idea to cash, and identify practices that will eliminate bottlenecks to flow. Attendees will explore SAFe’s CALMR (Culture, Automation, Lean, Measure, Recover) approach to DevOps, which helps create a culture of shared responsibility for the full spectrum of Solution delivery. During the course, they will gain the tools they need to execute an implementation plan for improving their delivery pipeline, and the knowledge they need to support the plan. The course also prepares students for the optional SAFe® 4 DevOps Practitioner (SDP) certification exam. Attendees must attend both days of the course in order to qualify for the exam.
