№ 01 / Overview

From commit to production. Without drama.

This DevOps Engineering on AWS course demonstrates how to use the most common DevOps patterns to develop, deploy, and maintain applications on Amazon Web Services. The course covers the core principles of the DevOps methodology and examines a number of use cases applicable to startup, small and medium-sized business, and enterprise development scenarios.

You'll learn to design and implement an infrastructure on AWS that supports one or more DevOps development projects — using CloudFormation and OpsWorks to deploy the development, test and production environments your software needs. CodeCommit, CodePipeline and CodeDeploy stop being acronyms and start being muscle memory.

Who this is for: System administrators, software engineers and SREs who want to move into a DevOps role; existing DevOps practitioners who want the AWS-specific tooling and a credential to prove it. This is an advanced course — prior AWS exposure (or our SAA-C03 course) is recommended.

№ 02 / Outcomes

What you'll walk away with.

  • 01Apply the principal concepts of DevOpsCulture, automation, measurement and sharing — the four pillars, made practical on AWS.
  • 02Design infrastructure that supports DevOpsUse CloudFormation and OpsWorks to deploy the dev, test and production environments your team actually needs.
  • 03Stand up Continuous Integration on AWSCodeCommit, build environments, branching strategies — the full CI surface area.
  • 04Ship Continuous Delivery pipelinesUse CodePipeline to design and implement end-to-end CI/CD pipelines on AWS.
  • 05Run advanced deployment patternsBlue/green, canary and A/B testing — implemented with CodeDeploy, Elastic Beanstalk and ECS.
  • 06Choose the right deployment technologyCodeDeploy vs OpsWorks vs Elastic Beanstalk vs ECS vs ECR — make the call with confidence.
  • 07Monitor and tune for high performanceCloudWatch, X-Ray and the rest. Fine-tune applications and find issues before customers do.

№ 03 / Curriculum

Ten weeks. Nine modules.

Curriculum aligned to AWS's official DevOps Engineering on AWS course and the DOP-C02 (Professional) exam blueprint. Each module includes hands-on labs in a live AWS environment.

The principal concepts and practices behind DevOps. CALMS, the Three Ways, and how AWS thinks about reliability engineering. We start by aligning your mental model with the AWS perspective.
Templates, stacks, change sets, nested stacks. StackSets for multi-account deployments. Drift detection. We build a production-style CloudFormation library you keep.
OpsWorks Stacks, OpsWorks for Chef Automate, OpsWorks for Puppet Enterprise. Systems Manager Parameter Store, Run Command, State Manager. When to reach for which tool.
Source control on CodeCommit, branching strategies, pull request workflows. CodeBuild specs, build phases, caching. Integration with GitHub and Bitbucket for hybrid teams.
Design and implement a CI/CD pipeline on AWS. Stages, actions, approval gates, parallel execution. Cross-account and cross-region pipelines.
Implement blue/green deployments with CodeDeploy and ALB target swaps. Canary releases with Lambda aliases. A/B testing with Route 53 weighted routing. Real labs you'll keep referring back to.
Distinguish between AWS CodeDeploy, OpsWorks, Elastic Beanstalk, ECS and ECR. Decide which technology best fits a given scenario. Container build, push and deploy workflows.
CloudWatch metrics, alarms, dashboards, Logs Insights. X-Ray for distributed tracing. AWS Config and CloudTrail for compliance evidence. Monitor your application and environment for potential issues before they become incidents.
Build a complete CI/CD pipeline for a containerised application — IaC, build, test, deploy, monitor. Two full-length DOP-C02 mock exams with proctored scoring and gap analysis.

№ 06 / Questions

The questions we hear most.

Yes — this is an Advanced-level course. We strongly recommend either a year of hands-on AWS experience or completing our AWS Solutions Architect (SAA-C03) course first. The DOP-C02 exam is Professional-level and assumes solid Associate-level foundations.
Yes. Live AWS account during the course for hands-on labs, plus an after-course computing sandbox so you can keep building pipelines after class ends.
Sit in on the next cohort free of charge. The Professional exam is genuinely tough — most students pass on first or second attempt with focused mentor review of any weak service areas.
No — AWS charges the Professional exam fee directly ($300 USD at time of writing, billed through Pearson VUE). We'll walk you through scheduling and proctoring options.
Two evening sessions per week (Tuesday and Thursday, 6:30–9:00pm CT) plus a weekly Saturday lab workshop. Designed for working professionals. All sessions recorded for lifetime access.
Yes — we partner with Mia-Share / Meritize for tuition financing with monthly payment plans. See Financial Aid for full details.
