After the course you automate recurring tasks in IT operations: you write and version scripts, manage configuration as code, call systems through REST APIs and build pipelines that test changes and roll them out in a controlled way. Along the way you work through the content of the CompTIA AutoOps+ (AT0-001) exam. The course is aimed at network, server and cloud administrators with a few years of practice who want to do less by hand and work more closely with DevOps teams.
What you’ll take away.
- Write and test automation scripts with variables, functions and loops, and version them with Git
- Manage configuration declaratively and detect and fix drift
- Control systems through REST APIs and narrow down failed calls and certificate problems
- Build CI pipelines with triggers, secrets and artefacts
- Choose deployment strategies and measure them against SLOs and MTTR
Your training in detail
- Who is it for?
- Network, systems and cloud administrators with a few years of operations experience who want to automate routine work and bring DevOps methods into their role.

Agenda: from understanding to application
Our independently developed agenda proposal. Focus areas, lab environment and scope are agreed before booking.
Structure of the AT0-001 exam and its four domains
Automation code: scripting basics, error types and debugging
Git in a team: branching strategies, merge conflicts and semantic versioning
Infrastructure as code: idempotency, reusability and immutable infrastructure
Configuration management: push and pull, declarative and imperative, state and drift
Continuous integration with Jenkins or GitHub Actions: hooks, triggers, secrets and artefacts
Continuous delivery: canary, blue-green, rolling updates, rollback and service levels
You automate the deployment of a small service: script and configuration live in Git, a pipeline checks each change and rolls it out step by step, and a faulty release is rolled back automatically.
