Azure Kubernetes Service with Azure DevOps and Terraform Course Syllabus
Full curriculum breakdown — modules, lessons, estimated time, and outcomes.
Overview (80-120 words) describing structure and time commitment. This course provides a hands-on, project-driven learning experience focused on deploying and managing containerized applications on Microsoft Azure using Kubernetes, DevOps pipelines, and Terraform for infrastructure automation. Designed for beginners with foundational cloud knowledge, it spans approximately 15-20 hours of content across six modules. Learners will progress from core concepts to real-world implementation, gaining practical skills in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), CI/CD with Azure DevOps, and infrastructure as code using Terraform. Each module combines theory, interactive labs, and guided exercises to reinforce learning. The course concludes with a capstone project that integrates all tools and workflows, preparing students for real enterprise cloud environments.
