Month 1: Agile and DevOps Foundations

1. Introduction to Agile

• Agile Manifesto: Values and Principles for iterative development.
• Comparison of Agile with Traditional Models (Waterfall).
• Overview of Agile Frameworks:
  • Scrum: Focuses on sprints and iterative feedback loops.
  • Kanban: Visualizes work progress and limits work-in-progress (WIP).

2. Scrum Framework in Detail

• Scrum Roles:
  • Product Owner: Manages the product backlog and prioritizes user stories.
  • Scrum Master: Facilitates Agile practices and removes impediments.
  • Development Team: Delivers the increment within the sprint.
• Tools for Scrum:
  • Jira: Sprint planning, backlog refinement, and progress tracking.
  • Trello: Simple Kanban-based task tracking.

3. DevOps Fundamentals

• Key DevOps Tools Overview:
  • Git: Distributed version control system for source code management.
  • Jenkins: Continuous Integration server for automated pipelines.
  • Docker: Containerization platform for consistent app deployments.

Month 2: Agile Planning and DevOps Practices

1. Agile Project Planning

• Using Tools Effectively:
  • Jira: Managing epics, user stories, and sprint burndowns.
  • Confluence: Collaborative documentation for Agile teams.

2. Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)

• Detailed Tool Features:
  • Jenkins: Automates builds, tests, and deployments with plugins.
  • GitLab CI/CD: Built-in CI/CD capabilities with GitLab repositories.
  • CircleCI: Cloud-native CI/CD pipelines for fast integrations.

Month 3: Infrastructure Automation and Orchestration

1. Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

• Key Tools:
  • Terraform:
    • Provision cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
    • Declarative syntax and modular configurations.
    • State management for tracking deployed resources.
  • CloudFormation: AWS-specific IaC tool for resource provisioning.

2. Configuration Management with Ansible

• Key Features of Ansible:
  • Agentless configuration management.
  • YAML-based playbooks for infrastructure automation.
  • Reusable roles for simplifying complex workflows.

3. Containerization and Orchestration

• Deep Dive into Tools:
  • Docker: Building and managing lightweight containers.
  • Kubernetes:
    • Orchestrates container deployments and scaling.
    • Manages secrets and configurations with ConfigMaps.
    • High availability with multi-node clusters.

Month 4: Advanced Agile DevOps Techniques

1. Monitoring and Logging

• Tool Highlights:
  • Prometheus: Time-series metrics collection and alerting.
  • Grafana: Dashboards for visualizing Prometheus data.
  • ELK Stack:
    • Elasticsearch: Stores and indexes logs.
    • Logstash: Processes and forwards logs to Elasticsearch.
    • Kibana: Visualizes logs in an interactive interface.

2. DevSecOps: Integrating Security into Agile DevOps

• Security Tools:
  • SonarQube: Static code analysis and security scanning.
  • OWASP ZAP: Identifies vulnerabilities in web applications.
  • Trivy: Scans Docker images for vulnerabilities.
