DevOps is the union of people, processes, and products that enables  the continuous delivery of value to end–users.  DevOps aims to create a culture and environment where building, testing, and releasing software can take place rapidly, frequently, and reliably, so the company can innovate like a startup and scale like an enterprise. 

Wawiwa’s DevOps Program enables graduates to understand why organizations need DevOps and to learn how to get started with DevOps. Trainees will learn the key ideas and techniques to bring development and operations together, resulting in high-quality, high-speed software development and delivery.

Bridge the Gap in Software Development & Operations
