ACMP 2400 DEVOPS AND PLATFORM ENGINEERING (3 credits)
DevOps, a portmanteau moniker short for software development and IT operations, is a collaborative methodology that enables faster and more reliable software delivery by combining development and operations activities into a single lifecycle. Platform Engineering is the process of designing, building, and maintaining toolchains and infrastructure that supports applications. In this course, students will learn how DevOps practices and methodologies, like build automation and continuous integration, can be used to improve software delivery and quality. Students will also develop skills focused on deploying, managing, and testing applications using cloud-based platforms, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The course will also feature an overview of relevant agile techniques for incremental delivery and hands-on labs with tools such as Docker, Jenkins, Git, and more.
