Continuous Delivery and Automation on AWS for DevOps Engineers
Deployment bottlenecks kill velocity—this course shows you how to automate the entire release pipeline on AWS. You’ll build production-grade CI/CD workflows, master infrastructure-as-code patterns, and eliminate manual handoffs that slow your team down.
AIU.ac Verdict: Essential for DevOps engineers and platform teams moving beyond manual deployments. Covers hands-on AWS automation with real-world pipeline architecture. Note: assumes foundational AWS knowledge; pure beginners should start with core AWS fundamentals first.
What This Course Covers
You’ll work through AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy to construct end-to-end continuous delivery systems. The course covers automated testing integration, deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, rolling), and infrastructure provisioning using CloudFormation and Infrastructure-as-Code principles. Expect practical labs where you configure actual pipelines, set up artifact repositories, and implement rollback mechanisms.
Beyond tooling, Fernando teaches the architectural decisions that separate brittle automation from resilient systems: how to structure your build stages, manage secrets securely, monitor deployment health, and scale automation across multiple environments. You’ll leave with patterns you can apply immediately to your organisation’s release process.
Who Is This Course For?
Ideal for:
- DevOps Engineers: Seeking to standardise CI/CD practices and reduce deployment friction across teams.
- Platform Engineers: Building internal developer platforms that require robust, automated deployment infrastructure.
- AWS-focused SREs: Needing hands-on expertise in AWS-native automation tools and pipeline orchestration.
May not suit:
- AWS Beginners: This assumes you’re comfortable with core AWS services; start with foundational AWS training first.
- Non-AWS Environments: Heavily AWS-specific; limited value if your infrastructure runs on GCP, Azure, or on-premises.
