Unternehmen auf der ganzen Welt implementieren zunehmend DevOps-Praktiken, um die tägliche Systemadministration und Softwareentwicklung zu optimieren. Infolgedessen stellen branchenübergreifende Unternehmen IT-Experten ein, die DevOps effektiv einsetzen können, um Lieferzeiten zu verkürzen und die Qualität bei der Entwicklung neuer Softwareprodukte zu verbessern.
Um diesem wachsenden Bedarf an qualifizierten Fachleuten gerecht zu werden, hat das Linux Professional Institute (LPI) die DevOps Tools Engineer-Zertifizierung des Linux Professional Institute entwickelt, mit der die Fähigkeiten überprüft werden, die für die Verwendung der Tools erforderlich sind, die die Zusammenarbeit in Workflows während der gesamten Systemadministration und Softwareentwicklung verbessern.
Bei der Entwicklung der DevOps Tools Engineer-Zertifizierung für das Linux Professional Institute überprüfte LPI die DevOps Tools-Landschaft und definierte eine Reihe grundlegender Fähigkeiten für die Anwendung von DevOps. Daher konzentriert sich die Zertifizierungsprüfung auf die praktischen Fähigkeiten, die erforderlich sind, um in einer DevOps-Umgebung erfolgreich zu arbeiten - und auf die Fähigkeiten, die für die Verwendung der bekanntesten DevOps-Tools erforderlich sind. Das Ergebnis ist eine Zertifizierung, die die Schnittstelle zwischen Entwicklung und Betrieb abdeckt und für alle IT-Experten relevant ist, die im Bereich DevOps tätig sind.
Die Schulung setzt sich aus 2 Teilen a 4 Tage zusammen (nur komplett buchbar).
Voraussetzungen
Grundsätzliche Kenntnisse in DevOps-bezogenen Bereichen wie Software Engineering und Architektur, Container- und Maschinenbereitstellung, Konfigurationsmanagement und Monitoring.
Die Inhalte zum Beispiel unserer Linux Administrationsschulung bzw LPI-1-relevante Themen (LPI 1 Vorbereitung) sollten nicht fremd sein.

Kurszeiten
Wer möchte, reist bis 22 Uhr am Vortag an und nutzt den Abend bereits zum Fachsimpeln am Kamin oder im Park.
An den Kurstagen dann von 9-18 Uhr (mit 2 Kaffee- und 1 Mittagspause) etwa 60% Schulungen und 40% Übungen. Selbstverständlich arbeitet jeder Teilnehmer am von uns gestellten Notebook oft parallel zum Referenten mit.
Anschließend Abendessen und Angebote für Fachsimpeln, Ausflüge uvm. Wir schaffen eine Atmosphäre, in der Fachleute sich ungezwungen austauschen. Wer das nicht will, wird zu nichts gezwungen und findet auch jederzeit Ruhe.
