AZ-400 teaches how to design and implement DevOps processes, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, container strategies, security, and feedback mechanisms.
AZ-400 is designed around the responsibilities of a DevOps Engineer responsible for implementing and operating DevOps practices. The course covers planning, tooling, automation, and feedback across the full software delivery lifecycle.The program starts with planning for DevOps, including transformation planning, team structures, tool integration, and traceability. It then addresses source control using Git, Azure Repos, and GitHub.Build and continuous integration topics include Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions, agent management, and build strategies. Release and deployment modules cover release pipelines, deployment patterns such as blue-green and canary, and release quality controls.The course also includes infrastructure as code using ARM templates, CLI, and third-party tools, containerization with Docker, and Kubernetes with AKS. Security, compliance, and secrets management are integrated into pipeline design.Finally, the course addresses monitoring, feedback mechanisms, and system reliability practices. Together, these topics align with the AZ-400 exam and real-world DevOps responsibilities.
AZ-400 is effective when approached as a systems course rather than a tooling course. Focus on how pipelines, infrastructure, and feedback work together.Security and compliance should be designed into pipelines early. Retrofitting controls later increases risk and complexity.The course supports certification, but the real value is being able to design repeatable, observable delivery systems.
