Course requirements

The beginning of the course will focus of familiarizing oneself with the technologies used in building and delivering high-volume services. This will include containers and similar technologies, load balancing, automated testing and revision control systems. The students will put these technologies to the test in exercises in our lab environment. Towards the middle of the course, we will start to cover more of the organizational aspects of a lean and agile software delivery pipeline and how the technologies from the beginning of the course fit in.

During this phase, case studies will be used. The last phase of the course will cover advanced topics, such as site-reliability engineering and service discovery.
