SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Linux
Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation
through open source, and the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF),
the open-source software foundation that seeks to improve the
world's capacity to deliver software with security and speed, have
announced the immediate availability of a new DevOps Bootcamp to
provide participants with the knowledge and skills to utilize
DevOps principles and practices – including DevSecOps and GitOps –
in a variety of technology roles in as little as six months.

The recently released 2021 Open Source Jobs Report found that
88% of technology professionals surveyed use DevOps practices in
their work, reflecting that it is no longer optional to understand
these topics. This bootcamp starts with an introduction to DevOps
and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), then moves into specific
DevOps toolsets like Jenkins, and finishes with more advanced
topics including GitOps and DevSecOps principles and practices.
The program is designed for existing and aspiring developers,
operations personnel, engineers and others involved in software
development, delivery, deployment, and maintenance. While the
program does cover some specific tools such as Jenkins, it is not
intended to train users on specific toolsets. The DevOps space has
a wide variety of tools which are used in many combinations by
organizations. As a result, candidates are best served by taking
tool specific training as and when needed. This program instead
focuses on the overarching practices and competencies required to
operate in a continuously developed and deployed architecture.
The new bootcamp can be completed in around six months with
10-15 hours per week of effort. The courses included in the program
are:
- DevOps and SRE Fundamentals: Implementing Continuous Delivery
(LFS261)
- Jenkins Essentials (LFS267)
- CI/CD with Jenkins X (LFS268)
- GitOps: Continuous Delivery on Kubernetes with Flux
(LFS269)
- Implementing DevSecOps (LFS262) (content available late
2021)
Included in the DevOps Bootcamp is the all new Implementing
DevSecOps (LFS262) course, which will become available later in Q4.
It is recommended that this course be completed last in the
program, meaning it should be available before participants reach
that portion of the bootcamp. The new course, which will be
available standalone in addition to its inclusion in the DevOps
Bootcamp, is designed for software developers, site reliability
engineers, and DevOps practitioners looking to speed up delivery of
more secure code. It focuses on automating security and
incorporating it as part of the process, including continuous
delivery, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and observability. The goal
is to help participants deliver safer, more reliable code
faster.
Bootcamp participants will also have access to a
bootcamp-specific online forum to interact with other students and
instructors, as well as live virtual office hours with course
instructors four days per week. Candidates have unlimited access to
the program for 12 months. Upon completion of all five courses and
their final exams, participants will receive a verifiable
certificate of completion and shareable online badge.
"DevOps has become the standard way that software is developed
and deployed in production, making skills in DevOps essential for
anyone working in the industry," said Clyde
Seepersad, SVP, and general manager of training &
certification at The Linux Foundation. "There is a significant
shortage of technology talent worldwide, in addition to challenges
around upskilling existing professionals who are used to
traditional development methodologies. Our goal in creating this
bootcamp is to lower the barrier of entry for those new to the
technology industry and also provide a straightforward and
structured way for existing professionals to update their
skills."
"Implementation of continuous delivery techniques varies widely
by industry and requires case-by-case understanding of your own
unique development environment. The Linux Foundation continues to
provide high quality courses for software developers who want a
better understanding of the continuous delivery landscape, and this
DevOps Bootcamp is an excellent way to turbocharge your
understanding and proficiency," said Tracy
Miranda, Executive Director of the Continuous Delivery
Foundation. "By enrolling in the DevOps Bootcamp, within just a
half year, you will be able to better evaluate and implement a
solution that meets your DevOps needs."
The DevOps Bootcamp is available for immediate enrollment.
Through October 19, 2021, the new
bootcamp is being offered at an introductory price of $525 with offer code DEVOPS30, a 30% discount
over standard pricing of $750.
