CSDO1010 The DevOps Toolchain in Practice

This course will build upon the concept of DevOps, and its importance in modern software development through application of various tools that enable effective DevOps strategies. Students will work with source code management (Git) to integrate and build continuous integration and deployment pipelines enabling automated deployments of software that meets the quality rigour defined by a software team. The use of a modern build server such as GitLab will help students apply the concepts. In addition, students will learn about Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and Configuration Management (Ansible), and the implications of declarative and imperative management of infrastructure. In addition, students will work within the context of containers (Docker), and container orchestration (Kubernetes). Lastly, while it is important to enable development teams through speedy and robust deployment systems, it is imperative that in the event something does go wrong, there is visibility and tooling to enable the concepts of observability and reliability to build resilient systems.
