AWS DevOps Course by Nirav Desai

This AWS DevOps course is designed for learners who want to build strong, job-ready expertise in modern DevOps practices using Amazon Web Services. The program focuses on real-world implementation rather than just theory, helping students understand how development, operations, cloud infrastructure, automation, and deployment pipelines work together in professional environments. Whether you are a beginner to DevOps or already working in IT and want to upgrade to cloud-native DevOps workflows, this course provides structured, practical guidance.

The training is conducted online, making it suitable for learners from any location who prefer flexible and interactive learning from home. Students will be guided through the complete DevOps lifecycle, starting from source control and CI/CD pipelines, moving into infrastructure as code, Docker containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, AWS cloud services, and production-grade monitoring and reliability practices. The course also includes a capstone project to help learners apply their knowledge in a realistic industry-style environment.
