Capability Development / DevOps

DevOps Solutions with Azure (AZ-400)

This course provides a comprehensive, certification-aligned path through Microsoft's AZ-400 DevOps Solutions curriculum, covering source control and Git workflows in Azure Repos, build and release pipeline design, and container build strategies. Learners implement continuous integration and continuous delivery practices, including release strategy design, deployment patterns such as blue-green and canary releases, and dependency and package security management. The program also covers infrastructure as code and configuration automation using ARM templates, Azure CLI/PowerShell, and third-party tools like Terraform, Ansible, Chef, and Puppet, alongside Azure compute services and compliance controls. Continuous feedback topics — including telemetry analysis, monitoring dashboards, and Site Reliability Engineering practices — round out the program, along with strategic modules on DevOps transformation planning and tool migration. By the end, learners are prepared to plan, implement, and optimize enterprise DevOps solutions on Azure.
