Introduction
The Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices using Cisco Platforms (DEVOPS) training teaches you how to automate application deployment, enable automated configuration, enhance management, and improve scalability of cloud microservices and infrastructure processes on Cisco® platforms. You will also learn how to integrate Docker and Kubernetes to create advanced capabilities and flexibility in application deployment. This training prepares you for the 300-910 Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices using Cisco Platforms (DEVOPS) certification exam. This training also earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.
