CE Foundation Advanced – EN

2. The content

The CE Foundation Advanced introduces the core concepts of the 19 Continuous Everything domains. DevOps continues to gain ground in the world of development (Dev) and operations (Ops). Major speed gains are being achieved in developing and deploying new functionality that supports business processes.

This is made possible by using new methods and techniques such as Continuous Integration (developers collaborating on the same codebase) and Continuous Deployment (automating the release of new functionality into production as much as possible).

More and more, we see the word “Continuous” being added in front of existing terms—like Continuous Monitoring and Continuous Security. That’s why we now talk about Continuous Everything (CE).

This training focuses on these CE best practices. You’ll get familiar with the related terminology at an introductory level. No prior knowledge is required, and there are follow-up courses and exams available for those who want to dive deeper.
