    What Is AWS DevOps and What Will You Learn?A Practical, Hands-On Skills Course

    AWS DevOps Training in South Africa is a practical, hands-on skills course that teaches you how to implement DevOps practices on Amazon Web Services (AWS). You learn to build continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, automate infrastructure as code, deploy containerised applications and monitor cloud systems using AWS-native tools. The programme follows the full DevOps lifecycle on AWS, from source control with CodeCommit and automated builds with CodeBuild, through deployment with CodeDeploy and CodePipeline, to infrastructure as code with CloudFormation and the AWS CDK, containers on Amazon ECS and EKS, and observability with Amazon CloudWatch. Grounded in the CALMS framework, the Three Ways of DevOps and the four DORA metrics, it connects the tools to the culture and measurement that make DevOps work. It suits developers, cloud engineers, system administrators and operations professionals across South Africa who want job-ready automation skills as banks, fintechs, insurers and retailers migrate to the AWS Africa (Cape Town) Region. Delivered in live virtual, classroom and onsite formats, the training turns manual, error-prone delivery into fast, repeatable and secure software delivery.

    You will gain the full set of practical skills to implement DevOps on AWS, from building CI/CD pipelines to automating infrastructure, deploying containers, monitoring systems and embedding security. By the end you can design and operate automated software delivery on Amazon Web Services.

    Build CI/CD Pipelines on AWS

    Design and run end-to-end delivery pipelines using AWS CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy and CodePipeline, so every code change is automatically built, tested and deployed with approval gates where needed.

    Automate Infrastructure as Code

    Provision repeatable, version-controlled AWS environments with CloudFormation templates and the AWS CDK, using change sets and drift detection to keep development, test and production consistent.

    Deploy Containerised Applications

    Build Docker images, store them in Amazon ECR, and deploy and scale containers on Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS, including rolling and blue/green deployment patterns on AWS.

    Monitor and Observe Systems

    Set up Amazon CloudWatch metrics, logs, alarms and dashboards and use AWS X-Ray tracing, then track the four DORA metrics to measure and improve delivery performance.

    Integrate Security into Delivery

    Apply DevSecOps by shifting security left: scan builds in CodeBuild, enforce IAM least privilege, manage credentials with Secrets Manager and Parameter Store, and monitor compliance.

    Apply DevOps Culture and Practices

    Put the CALMS framework and the Three Ways of DevOps into practice, from breaking down silos and blameless post-mortems to continuous improvement across your AWS delivery lifecycle.
