Learner Outcomes

At the end of this course, the learner will be able to:

• Identify what stakeholders require in order to agree to going down this path.
• Ensure the necessary technical and team practices are in place so that we can start this journey.
• Explain the target architecture.
• Describe what pipeline we are going to build.
• Implement a repeatable and reliable way to deploy systems with a self-service model.
• Implement the pipeline and see it in action.
• Identify bottlenecks in the delivery pipeline.
• Collect log data to help identify problems and enable triage.
• Make deployments safe by collecting measurements to confirm services are operating correctly, make it possible to identify problems, and make informed decisions on how to resolve them.
• Ensure that after software is developed it can be deployed, maintained, and monitored during its operational lifetime.
• Ensure that software which is deployed is delivering real value for the customers and adapting to evolving customer needs.
• Increase deployment and operational flexibility and scalability.
• Build confidence in the software delivery such that manual inspection is not a requirement prior to production deployment.
