FAQs
Explore common questions about foundation-level DevOps and AIOps study, including what these subjects cover, who they are for and how they relate to modern IT roles.
What is DevOps and why is it used?
DevOps is an approach that brings development, operations and other contributors into closer alignment across software delivery. It uses shared working practices, feedback, automation and measurement to reduce friction between delivery stages and support more consistent ways of building, releasing and operating software.
What is AIOps and how does it relate to DevOps?
AIOps applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to IT operations data to help teams identify patterns, interpret alerts and assess operational issues. It can complement DevOps by providing information that supports monitoring, reliability and decision-making across increasingly complex technical environments.
Which DevOps Essentials course should I choose?
Choose DevOps Foundation if you want a broad introduction to DevOps principles, collaboration, delivery practices, security and automation. Choose AIOps Foundation if your priority is understanding how AI, machine learning and operational data can be applied within IT operations and related DevOps environments.
Can DevOps training help me move into a DevOps role?
Foundation training can give you the terminology, principles and working context needed to understand DevOps environments and discuss them with greater confidence. For a hands-on DevOps role, you may also need practical experience and more specialised learning in the tools, platforms and technologies used by technical teams.

Testimonial
An informative and enjoyable course
"Good structure to course. Each aspect broken down by instructor and theory explained with practical examples, which aided understanding and provided guidance on best practice when applying in real life scenarios. Pace was good - fast enough to keep engaged, and not too overwhelming. Documentation provided by instructor was very good, keeping each day's progress separate and providing notes, tips and links throughout the course. Thanks for an informative and enjoyable course. I feel like I've learnt a lot over the last few days."
