This provides the knowledge and skills to design and implement DevOps processes and practices. Students will learn how to plan for DevOps, use source control, scale Git for an enterprise, consolidate artifacts, design a dependency management strategy, manage secrets, implement continuous integration, implement a container build strategy, design a release strategy, set up a release management workflow, implement a deployment pattern, and optimize feedback mechanisms

The AZ-400 Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions certification training is designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to design and deploy DevOps solutions using Microsoft technologies. This course focuses on DevOps practices, Azure DevOps Services, and tools to streamline software development and delivery processes. Completion of this training will prepare individuals for the AZ-400 certification exam and enable them to take on roles as DevOps engineers or architects, responsible for designing and implementing efficient DevOps pipelines and practices to enhance software development and deployment.
