Introduction to DevOps

What the module is for

This is a short introduction for anyone new to DevOps who needs the vocabulary and the organizational side before the tooling. It treats DevOps as a change in how teams are arranged and how they agree on goals, with tools arriving afterwards.

What you will come away with

• A working definition of DevOps and the stages a team typically moves through.
• How transformation teams and agile structures are set up, and how shared goals and timelines get defined.
• An overview of source control, working with Git locally, then Azure Repos and GitHub.

Where it leads

The module takes about 42 minutes, which makes it a sensible first step before the longer learning paths on pipelines and automation. Its coverage of a license management strategy is less common in introductory material and is worth a look if you are planning a tooling rollout.
