Where teams start
Most Popular DevOps Courses
Most teams start by assigning DevOps fundamentals to everyone who touches build and release work. A shared vocabulary comes first, then engineers branch into role-specific automation and deployment training.
Fundamentals
GitHub Training
This beginner GitHub training gives learners an understanding of GitHub and how to use it at a foundational level. Familiarity with GitHub is a prerequisite for many developer and DevOps positions, and this course prepares you to use GitHub and become a more effective developer by maximizing your efficiency and productivity.

Docker
Container adoption stalls when every engineer installs Docker differently, builds images by habit, and deploys to cloud services without a shared workflow. This Docker course gives DevOps teams a common baseline, from local setup on Linux, Windows, and WSL through image builds, multi-container workflows, and cloud deployment. IT Directors and Team Leads can assign it to DevOps professionals with roughly three to five years of experience. The team works through creating and managing containers, building Docker images for repeatable deployments, configuring Docker Compose and Docker Swarm, and deploying containerized applications to Kubernetes, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS with eksctl, AWS CodeBuild, and Azure. A dedicated module on Python and Docker-py shows how to automate Docker Engine tasks and cut repetitive manual container management. At about 13 hours per learner, the course fits a multi-week enablement plan rather than a one-day session. Training Managers can sequence it with Playlists alongside internal standards for image creation, deployment targets, and automation ownership, then use Team Reporting to track per-learner progress and completion and see who is ready for hands-on container work.

Certified Kubernetes Administrator
This Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) training takes systems administrators from cluster setup through scaling, security, and troubleshooting. Taught with real-world examples, it covers installing and configuring Kubernetes clusters for high availability, deploying and scaling workloads with ReplicaSets, Deployments, and autoscalers, securing clusters with RBAC, Pod Security, and access control, managing storage and networking with EBS, ClusterIP, Ingress, and network policies, and monitoring and debugging workloads with probes, the metrics server, and debugging tools, including on AWS EKS. For an IT Director whose platform team runs containerized applications, the CKA is the recognized way to confirm that administrators can keep the application lifecycle reliable and efficient. Individual administrators earn the same Linux Foundation certification.

Frequently asked questions about DevOps training
Common questions IT directors ask when evaluating DevOps training for their team.
Which roles on our team is DevOps training meant for?
DevOps training fits anyone who shares responsibility for building, releasing, and running systems. That includes platform engineers, systems administrators, developers moving into operations work, and network engineers adopting automation.
How should a Training Manager sequence a DevOps path for a team?
Start everyone on shared fundamentals so the team uses the same practices and terminology. Then assign role-specific training to the engineers who own pipelines, automation, or deployment.
Does the training include hands-on practice?
The CBT Nuggets platform pairs on-demand video training with virtual labs, practice exams, and pre- and post-assessments. Engineers can practice in a lab environment before applying changes to production systems.
How do managers track DevOps training progress across the team?
Team reporting shows per-learner progress and completion, with cohort and group views. Managers can export completion records, and reporting also shows IT Trainerbot usage, including top topics and the training the answers came from.
How does DevOps training fit into onboarding and compliance?
Managers can assign the same DevOps training to every new hire so new engineers become productive sooner. Completion exports provide audit evidence. Internal Training can turn your own runbooks and SOPs into courses you assign and track alongside catalog courses.
How does IT Trainerbot help DevOps engineers during daily work?
IT Trainerbot answers questions instantly from CBT Nuggets training, and each answer cites a timestamped link to the source video. Answers are backed by human IT experts, and when a question falls outside covered content, IT Trainerbot says so rather than improvising.
