AWS DevOps and Cloud Automation Training

AWS DevOps and Cloud Automation

Course overview

Cloud-first delivery is now the norm across UK organisations, and teams are under pressure to release secure features faster without inflating cost. This hands-on programme helps you master AWS DevOps practices and cloud automation from the ground up, so you can design resilient pipelines, automate infrastructure with code, and operate production systems confidently. You will explore real AWS services, build CI/CD workflows, apply cloud application automation patterns, and prepare for the AWS DevOps certification path toward becoming an AWS certified DevOps engineer. Coach2Reach UK’s focus is practical, exam-aware, and aligned to business outcomes, so you leave with automation you can use on day one.

Why AWS DevOps and cloud automation matter ?

  • UK public sector and regulated industries continue to adopt a cloud-first stance aligned with the Government’s Cloud First policy
  • Modern delivery hinges on automation. DevOps practices reduce lead time, raise deployment frequency, and improve reliability.
  • AWS remains a dominant platform in the UK market, powering startups, fintechs, retailers, and large enterprises alike.
  • Cloud automation solutions help teams control spend, enforce security baselines, and standardise environments across regions.
  • Employers value engineers who can combine software delivery with operational excellence, especially those on the AWS DevOps certification track.

What is AWS DevOps?

  • A culture and set of practices that bring development and operations together on AWS to deliver software quickly and safely.
  • Core capabilities include CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, security automation, and operational excellence.
  • Tooling and services you will encounter include CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodePipeline, CodeDeploy, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, IAM, CloudWatch, X-Ray, ECR, ECS, EKS, Lambda, and more.

Learning objectives

  • Understand the foundations of AWS DevOps, the shared responsibility model, and how cloud automation supports fast feedback.
  • Design and implement CI/CD on AWS using native services and pipeline patterns that fit your applications.
  • Use infrastructure as code to standardise environments and enable repeatable, audited change.
  • Apply cloud automation solutions for deployments, security checks, testing, and operations.
  • Implement observability to detect, diagnose, and resolve issues before customers are impacted.
  • Prepare effectively for the AWS DevOps certification journey toward AWS certified DevOps engineer status.

Learning outcomes

  • Create a production-grade pipeline with build, test, security scan, and deployment stages across multiple environments.
  • Author reusable IaC templates that provision compute, networking, databases, and container platforms on AWS.
  • Containerise services and roll out progressive deployments with automated verification and safe rollback.
  • Instrument services with logs, metrics, and traces, plus alerts that align to service level objectives.
  • Embed security into delivery using identity controls, scanning, and compliance checks inside the pipeline.
  • Confidently approach scenario-based questions and practical tasks relevant to the AWS certified DevOps engineer certification.
