AZ‑400T00 Microsoft DevOps Solutions Training

AZ-400T00: Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions is an instructor-led training course designed for professionals who want to implement modern DevOps practices using Microsoft Azure, Azure DevOps, GitHub, and cloud-native automation technologies. Aligned with the Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert certification pathway, the course teaches participants how to design, implement, secure, and optimise DevOps processes that improve collaboration, accelerate software delivery, and increase the reliability of applications and infrastructure.

As organisations continue adopting cloud platforms, Agile methodologies, and continuous delivery practices, DevOps has become a critical capability for delivering software quickly and reliably. This course provides practical guidance on integrating development, operations, security, and governance practices across the software development lifecycle. Participants learn how to establish repeatable delivery processes that support innovation while maintaining control, quality, and compliance.

A major focus of the course is planning and collaboration within DevOps environments. Participants learn how to use Azure Boards and GitHub Projects to support Agile planning, backlog management, work item tracking, sprint management, and team collaboration. The training demonstrates how organisations can improve visibility, traceability, and alignment between business objectives and software delivery activities.

The course explores source control management and collaborative development practices using Git and GitHub. Participants gain practical experience implementing branching strategies, managing repositories, conducting pull requests, performing code reviews, and supporting inner-source development practices. These capabilities help teams improve code quality, increase collaboration, and maintain effective governance throughout the development lifecycle.

Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) are covered extensively throughout the curriculum. Learners develop hands-on skills using Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions to automate application builds, testing processes, package creation, validation workflows, and deployment pipelines. The course demonstrates how automation improves consistency, reduces manual effort, and accelerates software delivery across development environments.

Participants also explore advanced deployment strategies including blue-green deployments, canary releases, progressive exposure models, and rollback techniques. These approaches help organisations introduce new features and updates safely while minimising operational risk and maintaining service availability for end users.

Security, governance, and compliance are integrated throughout the DevOps lifecycle. Participants learn how to manage secrets and configuration settings securely, govern software packages and dependencies, implement policy controls, and introduce security checks into automated workflows. These practices support modern DevSecOps initiatives while helping organisations meet regulatory and governance obligations.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is another key component of the course. Participants learn how to provision and manage Azure infrastructure using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates and Bicep. Through practical exercises, learners develop the ability to create consistent, repeatable, and scalable infrastructure deployments that support cloud-native environments and operational efficiency.

Monitoring, observability, and continuous improvement are explored through Azure Monitor, telemetry collection, dashboards, alerting systems, and performance analysis tools. Learners gain practical experience using operational insights to improve application performance, enhance reliability, and support evidence-based decision-making within DevOps teams.

Through extensive hands-on labs, real-world scenarios, and guided exercises, participants build the capabilities needed to implement enterprise DevOps practices across Azure and GitHub environments. The course aligns with the Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400) certification objectives while providing practical skills that can be applied immediately within software engineering, cloud engineering, and platform operations roles.

This course is ideal for DevOps Engineers, Cloud Engineers, Software Developers, Platform Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), Release Managers, Automation Engineers, Azure Administrators, and IT professionals responsible for implementing modern software delivery practices. Training is available across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Canberra, as well as through live online delivery throughout Australia. A Certificate of Attendance is included upon completion.
