IBM Applied DevOps Engineering

Hands-on DevOps beyond the buzzwords

This IBM Professional Certificate is aimed at engineers who already have some development background and want to move specifically into DevOps — the practices and tooling that connect writing code to shipping it reliably. It's set at an intermediate level, so it assumes some prior comfort with software development rather than starting from zero.

Core practices covered

• Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines
• Test-Driven Development and Behavior-Driven Development approaches
• Microservices architecture and cloud-native computing patterns
• Agile and Scrum practices as they apply to DevOps culture

It also spends real time on the organizational side — culture transformation and team performance — acknowledging DevOps is as much about how teams work together as which tools they run. With 19,900+ students enrolled, it's a focused option for developers ready to specialize in delivery.
