DevOps Foundations

Understand how software moves from an idea to a reliable service, and how product, development, operations, security, and governance collaborate throughout that lifecycle.

How this module works

From concept to production evidence

Begin with the business outcome, translate it into an incremental delivery model, automate repeatable controls, observe production behavior, and feed operational learning back into planning.

Learning outcomes

  • Compare lifecycle and delivery models
  • Explain CI, CD, IaC, monitoring, DevSecOps, and GitOps
  • Map feedback loops across teams
  • Select controls that improve flow without removing governance

Integrated hands-on lab

Map an enterprise DevOps lifecycle

  1. Choose a sample service
  2. Map actors and lifecycle stages
  3. Place CI/CD, security, and infrastructure controls
  4. Define evidence at each gate
  5. Review bottlenecks and feedback loops

SDLC

SDLC defines the major responsibilities, boundaries, and control flow that engineers use before selecting an implementation detail within DevOps Foundations. It is not an isolated definition: its value appears when it supports begin with the business outcome, translate it into an incremental delivery model, automate repeatable controls, observe production behavior, and feed operational learning back into planning.

CI/CD concepts

CI/CD concepts provides a concrete platform capability that must be configured, secured, validated, observed, and owned throughout its lifecycle within DevOps Foundations. It is not an isolated definition: its value appears when it supports begin with the business outcome, translate it into an incremental delivery model, automate repeatable controls, observe production behavior, and feed operational learning back into planning.
