Duration : 3 Days

DevSecOps Practitioner introduces a range of practices for advancing to a more comprehensive
understanding of DevSecOps practices. Explore practical outcomes through finding the right
mix of people, building processes to accelerate value, and comparing technological options
available today. Tailored for recently transformed organizations that are looking to enhance
DevSecOps skills and awareness.

Overview

The DevSecOps Practitioner course is intended as a follow-on to the DevSecOps Foundation
course. The course builds on previous understanding to dive into technical implementation.
Each section highlights useful metrics as well as integrates new techniques into differing
practices. These modules offer suggestions on how to overcome people, process, and
technological issues to develop better DevSecOps outcomes. Beginning with a deeper dive into the
surrounding concepts, the course then considers either using existing metrics or developing
unique expressions suitable to each DevOps experience. The middle section looks at architecture
transitions, building infrastructure, and tuning the CI/CD pipeline to the best effect. Finally, the
course offers ways to get the best from your experimentation practices and considers where the
future of DevSecOps may lead.

The DevSecOps Practitioner course introduces more advanced ways to explore DevSecOps in your
organization. Each section covers practical maturity guides and then discusses how people,
processes, and technology can be combined to improve outcomes.

The course aims to equip participants with the practices, methods, and tools to engage people
across the organization involved in reliability through the use of real-life scenarios and case
stories. Upon completion of the course, participants will have tangible takeaways to leverage when
back in the office such as implementing DevSecOps practices in their organizational structure,
building better pipelines in distributed systems, and having a common technological language.

The course is developed by leveraging key DevSecOps sources, engaging with thought-leaders in
the space, and working with organizations to extract real-life best practices and has been designed
to teach the key principles & practices necessary for successful DevSecOps practices.

This course positions learners to successfully complete the DevSecOps Practitioner certification
exam.

It is highly recommended that learners complete the DevOps Institute DevSecOps
Foundation course and certification prior to taking the DevSecOps Practitioner course and exam.
