<h1>DevOps Tools Engineer (Exam 701) Online Training</h1>

DevOps teams can lose speed and reliability when source control, CI/CD, containers, infrastructure automation, and monitoring are handled as separate tool silos. This intermediate course gives IT Directors a structured way to standardize a DevOps toolchain around Git, GitHub, Docker, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Vagrant, cloud-init, Packer, Ansible, Prometheus, and the Elastic Stack. It is best assigned to DevOps engineers or platform-focused IT Practitioners with roughly three to five years of experience, especially teams preparing for the DevOps Tools Engineer (Exam 701) certification path.

The time investment is about 22 hours per learner, making it practical as a multi-week team enablement plan rather than a one-off workshop. For change management, Team Leads can sequence the skills from version control and build automation into deployment, infrastructure as code, and monitoring so teams adopt shared practices before altering production workflows. CBT Nuggets Playlists and Team Reporting can help Training Managers assign the path and track completion across the team.

This training helps DevOps teams connect everyday engineering work to repeatable delivery practices. The curriculum moves from Git and GitHub fundamentals into Jenkins build and test stages, then expands into Docker images, Kubernetes delivery, VM automation, Ansible configuration, and monitoring with Prometheus and the Elastic Stack.

• More consistent code collaboration: Teams standardize Git operations, branching, GitHub workflows, and repository practices.
• Faster, safer delivery: Jenkins build, test, and delivery stages help reduce manual release steps and improve pipeline consistency.
• Repeatable environments: Docker, Kubernetes, Vagrant, cloud-init, Packer, and Ansible support more predictable app and infrastructure deployments.
• Better operational visibility: Prometheus and Elastic Stack training helps teams monitor applications and infrastructure after deployment.

Knowledge

• How Git and GitHub support source control, collaboration, branching, merging, and advanced repository operations.
• Core DevOps concepts that connect development, testing, deployment, and operations.
• How Docker images and Kubernetes orchestration fit into containerized application delivery.
• How Jenkins pipelines organize build, test, and continuous delivery stages.
• How VM automation and infrastructure as code are supported by Vagrant, cloud-init, Packer, and Ansible.
• How Prometheus and the Elastic Stack contribute to application and infrastructure monitoring.

Ability

• Manage Git repositories and apply advanced Git operations in team workflows.
• Build container images and orchestrate containerized applications.
• Create Jenkins pipelines that include build and test stages.
• Connect Jenkins, GitHub, and Kubernetes for continuous delivery workflows.
• Automate VM deployments and base image creation.
• Use Ansible basics, facts, loops, templates, handlers, and roles to manage infrastructure as code.
