Who is this training for?
Students in this course are interested in designing and implementing DevOps processes or in passing the Microsoft Azure DevOps Solutions certification exam.
Training objectives
- Design and implement end-to-end DevOps practices and processes that improve collaboration, automation, and software delivery across the development lifecycle.
- Implement and manage source control, continuous integration (CI), and continuous delivery/deployment (CD) using Azure DevOps, Git, GitHub Actions, and Azure Pipelines.
- Develop secure, scalable, and reliable deployment strategies by managing artifacts, secrets, dependencies, infrastructure as code, and release workflows.
- Monitor, optimize, and continuously improve DevOps performance through feedback mechanisms, automation, and operational excellence practices.
Summary

Approach and methodology
Practical and structured approach combining focused theory and guided workshops. Participants gradually discover how to design and manage analytics solutions with Power BI through hands-on exercises inspired by real-world business scenarios, promoting immediate application of the learnings.
They learn how to prepare and model data, create impactful visualizations, develop interactive reports and dashboards, and apply analytical techniques to support data-driven decision-making.
Led by a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), the training emphasizes interactivity and the development of practical, transferable skills for effectively using Power BI in a professional environment.
