Basic DevOps Course Overview

To ensure a successful learning experience in the Basic DevOps course provided by Koenig Solutions, the following prerequisites are recommended for prospective students:

• Basic understanding of software development processes and methodologies.
• Familiarity with command-line interfaces (CLI) on Linux or Windows operating systems.
• Fundamental knowledge of operating systems and their environments.
• Introductory-level experience with any programming or scripting language (e.g., Python, Bash, or PowerShell).
• Awareness of system administration tasks such as installing software, managing files, and configuring network settings.
• An interest in automation tools and eagerness to learn about infrastructure as code.
