Aim & Summary

The aim of this course is to equip participants with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in monitoring, logging, and securing DevOps environments. Through a structured curriculum, participants will learn the importance of monitoring infrastructure, applications, and networks, and will gain hands-on experience with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK Stack for effective logging and visualization. The course also emphasizes DevSecOps practices, infrastructure security, compliance, and incident management, ensuring participants can integrate robust security measures into their CI/CD pipelines. Additionally, the course covers performance optimization and introduces chaos engineering principles to help participants enhance system resilience and reliability.
