LPI DevOps Tools Engineer 701-200
When code changes, builds, deployments, and production troubleshooting are handled with different tools and terms across teams, releases slow down and root causes take longer to find. This intermediate DevOps Tools Engineer (Exam 701-200) course gives IT Directors one shared toolchain to align developers, systems engineers, network engineers, and DevOps practitioners. Learners start with source control as the source of truth, then progress through Git branching, GitHub collaboration, Docker, Kubernetes, enterprise container operations, and Podman. The Jenkins lessons move code from a laptop to running applications in dev, test, staging, or production, ending with a working CI/CD pipeline prototype across build, test, and delivery stages. Closing skills cover cloud security posture and observability with metrics, logs, traces, Prometheus, and Grafana. At about **13.7 hours per learner** across 16 skills, the course fits a quarterly upskilling plan or an LPI certification push. Training Managers can use CBT Nuggets Playlists to assign the skills in sequence, so team members who already know Git or containers and those who need the full path build toward the same CI/CD and container delivery outcomes.
