Abstract

DevOps is a set of software development practices that combine software development (Dev) and information-technology operations (Ops) to shorten the systems development life cycle, while frequently delivering features, fixes, and updates in close alignment with the given business objectives. Graduates often lack practical skills and experience required for professional success in the IT industry. The DevOps course will give you an opportunity to develop and polish relevant skills needed for large-scale complex projects, including system design, system deployment, support, version control systems, virtualization, etc. This valuable hands-on experience will allow you to start working on your own industrial-level projects and effectively collaborate with your team members if you are hired by an IT company. During the course, you will have an opportunity to solve many practical problems focused on various aspects of a product life cycle. In cooperation with МТС.Тета and МТС Cloud.
