New Certification Course Alert: DevOps Engineer and Why This Role Is Critical for Effective ITSM
As the digital era dawned just over a decade ago, the DevOps movement rose out of a need to deliver business value better, faster, and cheaper than ever before.
The DevOps amalgamation of IT best practices from Lean and Agile into a development and operations approach that supports automation and continuous delivery – as well as encouraging a culture of collaboration and learning – has created more streamlined processes, faster deployments, and more successful releases.
Because DevOps supports an organization’s capacity to better achieve digital transformation, Pink Elephant has not only evolved our comprehensive DevOps training portfolio, but we’re also expanding it. Currently, we offer DevOps Essentials and DevOps Leadership and are pleased to introduce our DevOps Engineer certification course. And, in the next few months, we will be launching DevSecOps Essentials and DevOps Site Reliability Engineering Essentials certification courses.
The Importance of the DevOps Engineer Role
Highly effective DevOps comprises collaboration, effective communication, the removal of barriers, and, wherever possible, the introduction of automation. The DevOps engineer role is a crucial contributor who is integral to establishing a culture of experimentation. The role also participates in creating an environment of learning that enables the building, testing, and release of software to happen more rapidly, frequently, and reliably.
The DevOps engineer is responsible for managing the output of software development as well as introducing processes, tools, and methodologies to balance the needs and requirements throughout the entire deployment pipeline. Bottomline: An organization can’t succeed with DevOps without talented DevOps engineers.
