Welcome to the advanced course on how to set up a deployment automation that’s capable of handling millions of users! In this course you will learn some of the most in-demand skills in the marketplace today by creating automated workflows to deploy and manage a scalable and secure infrastructure.

The demand for DevOps engineers is skyrocketing because few people have these skills and the value they add to a business’s bottom line is so high. Software development is expensive, and DevOps saves money by automating and streamlining the process. It also makes it easier to deploy more frequently, so you can catch issues early and improve the reliability of your product or service. Not to mention it saves hundreds of hours of manually administering servers and running deployments (like the good old days).

People in DevOps roles are some of the highest earners in the industry, are looking for work the least, and are the most sought after by companies. (Source: Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019 and Indeed).

Needless to say, mastering the technologies and skills used for DevOps is a great return on investment.

Whether you’re a developer, system administrator, or tech entrepreneur - this course will give you the tools to advance your skills in some of the most in-demand DevOps technologies in the marketplace today.

In this course, you’ll be deploying a sample Django REST API to AWS using Terraform, GitLab, Docker and a suite of AWS technologies, including:

  • Elastic Container Registry (ECR)

  • Relational Database Service (RDS)

  • Elastic Container Service (ECS)

  • Application Load Balancer (ALB)

  • Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2)

  • Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

  • Subnets

  • Gateways

  • Simple Storage Service (S3)

  • Route53

  • Identity and Access Management (IAM)

  • and AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)

Who teaches DevOps Deployment Automation with Terraform, AWS and Docker? Udemy

Udemy thumbnail

Udemy is the largest open marketplace for online courses on the internet. Founded in 2010 by Eren Bali, Oktay Caglar, and Gagan Biyani and headquartered in San Francisco, the company went public on the Nasdaq in 2021 under the ticker UDMY. The platform hosts well over two hundred thousand courses across software development, IT and cloud, data science, design, business, marketing, and creative skills, taught by tens of thousands of independent instructors. Roughly seventy million learners use it worldwide, and the corporate arm — Udemy Business — supplies a curated subset of that catalog to enterprise customers.

Because Udemy is a marketplace rather than a single editorial publisher, the catalog is uneven by design. The strongest material lives in the long-form, project-based courses authored by working engineers — full-stack JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python data science, AWS, Docker and Kubernetes, mobile development with Flutter and React Native, and cloud certification preparation. The CourseFlix listing under this source is the slice of that catalog that has been mirrored here for offline-friendly viewing, organized by topic and updated as new releases land. Pricing on Udemy itself swings dramatically with the site's near-permanent sales, which is why the platform is best treated as a deep reference catalog: pick instructors with strong reviews and a track record of updating their material rather than buying on the headline price alone.

What kind of project will I be building during the course?
Throughout the course, you will build and configure an automated deployment system capable of handling high user traffic. This includes setting up an NGINX proxy server, creating and testing CI/CD pipelines on GitLab, deploying infrastructure using Terraform, and managing scalable infrastructure on AWS.
Who is the target audience for this course?
The course is designed for IT professionals, DevOps engineers, and software developers who want to enhance their skills in deployment automation. It is particularly suitable for those interested in using Terraform, AWS, and Docker to manage scalable infrastructures.
How does this course compare to other DevOps courses?
Unlike introductory DevOps courses, this advanced course focuses on deploying and automating a scalable infrastructure using Terraform, AWS, and Docker. It offers practical exercises like setting up an NGINX proxy and configuring CI/CD pipelines, which provide hands-on experience in managing real-world infrastructure.
What specific tools and platforms will I learn to use?
The course covers several key tools and platforms, including AWS for cloud infrastructure, Terraform for infrastructure as code, Docker for containerization, and GitLab for CI/CD pipelines. You will also work with NGINX, uWSGI, and AWS-vault for secure access management.
What topics are not covered in this course?
The course does not cover basic AWS setup or Docker installation from scratch, as it assumes some foundational knowledge in these areas. Additionally, it does not delve into Kubernetes orchestration or other cloud providers beyond AWS.
How much time should I expect to commit to this course?
With 98 lessons in total, the course requires a significant time commitment. While the runtime is not specified, the practical and hands-on nature of the lessons, including setting up AWS accounts and configuring CI/CD pipelines, will require dedicated effort and time outside of the lesson videos.
