This intensive, instructor-led bootcamp teaches engineers how to provision, operate, and manage distributed systems on AWS with a DevOps mindset. The course is directly aligned with the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional (DOP-C02) Exam Guide and focuses on practical skills: building CI/CD pipelines, authoring IaC, automating security and compliance, instrumenting observability, and implementing resilient architectures.

Key Learning Outcomes (as course module titles)

Automated CI/CD Pipeline Design & Deployment — Build end-to-end pipelines that compile, test, and deploy applications using AWS Code* services, GitHub Actions, or comparable tools; implement blue/green and canary releases.

Infrastructure as Code with CloudFormation & AWS CDK — Create reusable, secure, and CI-driven IaC artifacts (Stacks, StackSets, CDK constructs) for multi-account environments.

Resilient & Scalable Architecture Design for AWS Workloads — Design architectures that meet RTO/RPO goals using multi-AZ/Region patterns, autoscaling, and container orchestration (ECS/EKS/Fargate).

Monitoring, Logging & Observability Implementation — Implement CloudWatch, X-Ray, OpenSearch pipelines, dashboards, and alerting with actionable runbooks.

Automated Incident Detection & Response — Use EventBridge, Step Functions, SNS/SQS, and Systems Manager to detect, triage, and remediate incidents automatically.

Security & Compliance Automation at Scale — Apply least-privilege IAM, manage secrets (Secrets Manager/KMS), automate compliance checks and remediation (Config, GuardDuty, Security Hub).
