Course information

Course Summary

DevOps can be a key enabler for achieving high-level agility and quality in development projects. Its basic approach is to overcome functional silos by creating cross-functional, autonomous teams in an open working environment.

In this course, you’ll get an introduction to general DevOps approaches and key principles. The course will then outline the SAP offerings, such as best practices, services, and tools, that enable you to foster DevOps principles efficiently along the relevant phases of SAP development projects based on different programming languages and technologies. You’ll learn where to find more information and how to start using the outlined offerings, and you’ll understand why they are the right choice for your on-premise, hybrid, and cloud-native DevOps projects in SAP enterprise environments.


Here is what some participants are saying about the course:

  • "It was an amazing experience since last 6 weeks. I was waiting every Monday to access next week. There itself the course success is we can say. Going through course, I found it well structured and detailed one. It helped me to learn at my pace as I am a beginner." Read the original post

  • "I like the fact that the content is being explained by experts. It provides variance in the way things are presented, It exposes the folks in "the dungeons" to us out there (which is great!) and much less boring than e-learnings by native speakers who have no passion for or connection with the stuff they read out loud. Thanks all!" Read the original post
