FAQs

What is DevOps in simple terms?

DevOps is a way of working that combines software development and IT operations. Traditionally, companies would keep the development of a software product separate from the management and maintenance of the network infrastructure that supports the delivery of that product to customers. DevOps is a process for a company to bring those two silos under one roof. DevOps as a practice emphasizes automation, communication and shared responsibilities to deliver better software, faster.

Can anyone get into DevOps?

Yes, DevOps is a process and ideology that's available to professionals at any point in the software delivery and at any point in their careers. Developers, sysadmins, testers, managers and executives can all improve not just their job prospects, but also their company's development and operations by learning even a little bit about DevOps. It's worth noting, however, that DevOps is a process, mindset and culture that spans the entire company.

How do you get a job in DevOps?

Landing a job in DevOps starts with a course like this that helps you understand its principles and processes, but it doesn't end there. Remember, DevOps applies to both sides of the IT house, so having software development and IT operations skills and training are all important to landing a DevOps job. Skills in coding, automation, cloud computing and systems administration often lead to a career in DevOps.

How do you start integrating DevOps into your company?

Integrating DevOps into a company is a long process that isn't accomplished by any one person. DevOps starts with a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement, which has to be adopted by technicians and management. Leadership has to encourage shared responsibility between developers and operations, and employees have to embrace it. It takes thoroughly trained DevOps professionals at all levels of the hierarchy working together to produce a company that integrates DevOps.

Who should take this DevOps course?

This course covers many different topics in DevOps, Git and automation, so the potential audience for it is large. Obviously software developers who want to deepen their knowledge and experience with GitLab should take the course. Software engineers who want to expand or help improve their organization's pipeline should take it. DevOps practitioners and engineers will be prepared to expand CI/CD and automation processes with GitLab after this course, and managers or decision-makers for companies will benefit as well.
