What do I get?

• 1. Intro & Tooling: To give you context on the journey you're going to go on and how to participate, we'll walk you through the course, how it will work and what you will cover, and introduce you to your Virtual Machine and the tools and systems you'll need to know. 2. Build a Start-up: To enable you to understand the architecture and requirements of web applications, and the Software Development Life Cycle, you're going to simulate creating a start up by building and managing 2 websites, one for internal users and one for external customers. 3. Automate Tasks: Automation is central to DevOps. It speeds up processes and reduces human error. In this module you'll learn how to construct CI/CD pipelines and use Kubernetes to automate processes that you'll later apply to your start-up to progress code through the DevOps lifecycle. 4. Migrate with K8S: Having learnt how to use Kubernetes (aka K8S), you'll now practice applying that learning to your start-up by migrating from deploying unmanaged containers, to containers deployed with Kubernetes. 5. Scale-up Phase: Business growth is limited by the physical limitations of a local or on-premises infrastructure. To scale up, you'll need to harness the capacity of the cloud to respond to user demand, and use Infrastructure as Code to programmatically express and document the provisioning of your infrastructure requirements. 6. Completion: Apply what you learnt in the Scale-up Phase to your simulated company to move all the infrastructure and CI/CD processes from local servers, to GCP, provisioning infrastructure with Terraform.
