Platform Engineering Foundations

About The Course

Many teams have asked us for prescriptive guidance on how to adopt Platform Engineering practices within their organization and make the leap from manual cloud management to:

  • Automating deployments with Infrastructure as Code delivered as part of a CI/CD pipeline.
  • Securing infrastructure by following best practices, enforcing policies, and centralizing secrets management.
  • Managing resources at scale by enabling self-service and continuous monitoring

The course has three (3) modules, each with hands-on, on-demand workshops designed to teach you practical platform engineering best practices and examples. Demo code and slides are provided in each workshop video.
