Learn DevOps with a PRODUCTION grade project.

Don’t just learn tools, Learn to implement them in Real Time.

Don’t just write “Hello world” programs. Write the automation code like a professional.
Do it like a Pro?

Learn the IT infrastructure from the scratch.

Implement the infrastructure on Cloud and Virtual machines.
Learn to integrate all the services together.
Automate the entire infrastructure implementation.
Learn Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery as it’s done in Real Time.

A glimpse of our OWN Web Application architecture | VPROFILE

VProfile is a web application written in Java by our Developers, it is a social networking website
like Facebook. This entire application is designed as it’s their in real time to train you on automating
all these components.

In the first place, you will learn different components and services in this application like Nginx,
Tomcat, Apache, Rabbit MQ, Elastic search, Mem cache, MySQL, Mongo dB etc.

Learn first to deploy them manually one by one on Virtual Machines and AWS cloud.
Then learn all the DevOps tools like Ansible, Jenkins, Puppet, Docker, and Kubernetes to
automate everything.

Along with these tools you will trained on tools which are used for Building software’s from
Developer’s code. Our Developers have written the code for Vprofile application.

You will learn how to build, test and deploy this application, by using tools like Git, Maven,
Nexus, jfrog Artifactory, SonarQube etc.

Also you will learn to automate the entire Build process by combining all these developers’ tools
with Jenkins. We call it Continuous Integration.

Learn how to secure your services by creating a secure infrastructure in AWS cloud.

 DevOps Training Content

In Real time you will have multiple services/servers working together to create a web service like
Facebook or Twitter or Amazon or Flipkart. To deliver features to the website, developers will code new
features and Operations team will deploy them into production servers. By using DevOps principals and
Tools we can deliver features more rapidly to production systems.
We have taken the same approach and will train you in the similar manner.
Q8. Do I need to have any background or prerequisite to join this course?
Ans: We are training you from the very scratch, we believe in building strong base. So we start the course
by Linux systems and basic networking. Then we train you on virtualization and Cloud computing. Once
you have the infrastructure knowledge we will setup our application on it manually. So you dont need any
background but you have to practice well.
Q9. Is it possible to cover all the topics in given time frame?
Ans: Yes it is very much possible and we are talking from all our past experiences. The course is well
structured and very well documented. Apart from the time you spend in the class you have to put your
own efforts in going through the exercises. SO that will add some more time in learning.
Q10. Will I be able to practice everything by myself?
Ans. Well we know no matter how much you concentrate in the class you still will have chances of
making mistakes while practicing by yourself. For that very reason we have written a Book Decoding
DevOps which you will get when you join the course. It’s a step by step guide of everything you need for
practicing. Along with that you will get few more Documents, Codes, Files and commands for practicing
on regular basis.
Q11. What if I am still getting errors while practicing?
Ans: Yes we know no matter how clear the documents you have, still you may make mistakes and we
have gone through such situation earlier. For that very reason we created a Facebook group “Heuristic
DevOps by Imran” only for the students. Here you can post any questions with all detail and that will be
answered ASAP.

Q12. Is this Facebook group open to all?

Ans: No, it’s a closed group and request will be accepted only after you get registered with us. As we dont
want any random posts from anybody else or any kind of spamming/advertisement etc. It’s only for our
Students and you will be a lifetime member of it.

Q13. What if I get some doubt or errors after the course?

Ans: As mentioned earlier you will be the lifetime member of the Facebook group, you can post any
questions or doubts anytime you want. You are also encouraged to post DevOps related topics and answer
questions of other students. In the group we have lot of DevOps engineers who are already working and
will share their knowledge with you.
