Course Preparation:
- Students will be emailed a short document to review before class. Understanding the content of this pre-course reading is required before class, so more in-class time can be devoted to implementing DevOps.
- This course exposes students to different tools employed by DevOps practitioners, including:
- Git for configuration management
- Maven for build automation
- Jenkins for continuous integration orchestration
- SonarQube for code analysis
- Docker for application containerisation
