DevOps: CP-DOF (Certified Professional - DevOps Foundation)

The course is applicable for all roles and knowledge, experience & certification is consciously designed all the roles in DevOps. CP-DOF is the only globally recognized certification program which has the following key advantages:

• Completely hands on.
• 100% Lab/Tools Driven
• Covers all the tools in entire lifecycle
• You will not only learn but experience the entire DevOps lifecycle.
• Practical Assessment to help you solidify your learnings
• The program covers end to end DevOps lifecycle using a complete tool chain. The program setup is provided through a sandbox where the participants get to learn the concepts by practicing exercises.

How is it useful?

Leading organizations have adopted the DevOps approach to deliver in-time software. DevOps has quickly become the most hyped, overused and ambiguous term in IT. It is being used to reference everything from job titles (DevOps is not a job title!) to technology practices, but the truth is that DevOps is more of a culture than anything else. It is about transformation, about building quality in, improving productivity and about automation in Dev, Testing and Operations.

CP-DOF is a one of its kind initiative to marry 2 distinct worlds of Agile andOperations together. Learn DevOps fundamentals along with Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery and deep dive into DevOps concepts and mind-set. CP-DOF is the first step in DevOps roadmap. Certified CP-DOF professionals are eligible for next level of certification called CP-DOF Advanced.

Am I eligible?

There are no pre-requisites for this certification. Any IT professional interested in truly understanding DevOps can do this course.

Duration

CP-DOF is designed specifically for corporates and working professionals alike. If you are a corporate and can’t dedicate full day for training, then you can opt for either 6 half days course or 3 full days course which is followed by theory and practical exams.

​Background

DevOps and Agile are they connected or are they different. There are other similar areas which are topics of discussion. Agile Testing Alliance keeps on publishing community blogs which make a good read for someone who wants to pursue CP- DOF certification.
