Course Information

-----

This course is up-to-date with the latest (May 2 2023) AZ-400 exam.

-----

The Microsoft Certified DevOps Expert exam provides you with a massive wealth of knowledge and skill about DevSecOps tools and processes.

This is NOT just a course about Azure DevOps.

You'll learn about Azure DevOps, GitHub, Git, Git management tools, security scanning tools (like OWASP ZAP, and Mend Bolt), and much more.

Throughout this course I'm confident you'll gain all the knowledge and skills needed to pass the AZ-400 exam. But more importantly, I've designed the content to help you understand what DevSecOps is. So you can apply this knowledge, even if you go on to use other tools and technologies.

Who Can Take This Course?

This course has been designed for students of all different backgrounds. You do not need to be a developer. We will progressively build your knowledge and experience working various DevSecOps tools and concepts. You'll start out with source control, and progressively build your own CICD pipelines, adding more and more capabilities like automated testing, and automated security.

Throughout a lot of this course you'll use resources like the Aus-E-Mart web application to help you gain a real hands-on understanding. You'll learn to work with real code, and build custom app packages, add libraries, and deploy to services like Azure Container Instances and Azure Web Apps. We'll do this with as many of the free tier services as possible, so you can own and showcase your own lab environment, while still keeping costs very low.

Please do be sure you've completed the free Getting Started with Microsoft DevOps course first. As this will give you an understanding of important fundamentals, and help you to setup some free accounts (GitHub and Azure DevOps) that you'll use throughout this course.

AZ-104 + AZ-400 = DevOps Expert Certification


Did you know that passing both the Azure Administrator (AZ-104) and DevOps Engineer (AZ-400) exams will reward you with the Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert certification? You can take these exams in any order you like, but passing both rewards you with the expert cert.


To help those aiming for the expert certification, I've created the DevOps Expert bundle below. You can buy this bundle for cheaper than it costs to buy each course individually.

If you already own AZ-104 and would like to upgrade, please contact me and I'll create an upgrade coupon so you only have to pay the difference in price.
