About this course
This course develops practical capability in GitOps Fundamentals. Its course-specific content covers GitOps operating model, Repository organisation, Reconciliation workflow, Promotion patterns, followed by an applied project focused on implement a repository-driven deployment workflow. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Learners starting in gitops & cloud native and professionals who want an organized foundation before more advanced work.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and comfort using the relevant operating system. No prior production experience is assumed; any lab accounts or software are confirmed before training.
Implement a repository-driven deployment workflow
Deliver implement a repository-driven deployment workflow. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
