About this course
This course prepares you for the AZ-400 Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert exam. It covers the specific tools and techniques needed to design and implement processes and communications, set up source control, build and release pipelines, and design security and monitor strategies in Azure. The course is built by Whizlabs and is offered through Coursera.
The course takes a structured approach to the AZ-400 exam objectives. You will work through modules that map directly to the exam skills, including designing and implementing processes and communications, designing and implementing a source control strategy, designing and implementing build and release pipelines, and designing security and monitor strategies in Azure. Each module builds the practical knowledge required for the certification.
By the end of the course you will be able to sit the AZ-400 exam with confidence. The concrete outcomes include understanding how to set up end-to-end DevOps pipelines in Azure, managing source code with Git-based controls, automating builds and releases, and applying security and monitoring practices that meet enterprise standards.
The course does not cover hands-on Azure infrastructure setup beyond what is needed for the exam, nor does it provide deep training in coding or server administration. Learners who need practical, day-to-day Azure administration skills would be better served by a broader Azure administration course, while those focused purely on the AZ-400 certification path will find this the most direct option.
This course is offered by Whizlabs on Coursera. It is self-paced and delivered in English. A certificate is available upon completion. The provider states the price is not published; financial aid may be available for eligible learners.
