Continuous Delivery Ecosystem Foundation (CDEF)℠
This course is designed for participants engaged in designing, implementing, and managing DevOps deployment pipelines and toolchains that support Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Testing and potentially Continuous Deployment. The course highlights underpinning processes, metrics, APIs and cultural considerations with Continuous Delivery.
Key benefits of Continuous Delivery will be covered, including increased velocity to assist organizations in responding to market changes rapidly, thus being able to outmanoeuvre the competition, reduce risk and lower costs while releasing higher quality solutions. Increased productivity and employee morale by having more activities performed by pipelines instead of humans so teams can focus on vision while pipelines do the execution.
The course materials will include practical artefacts, templates, and lexicons to assist learners post-class.
This certification positions learners to complete the Continuous Delivery Ecosystem Foundation exam.
