As part of your role as a DevOps technical support engineer, you'll need to work with popular applications to carry out release management in the cloud.

In this course, you'll explore the solutions and services provided by AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform to enable stable and scalable releases. You'll recognize the differences between releases on-premise and in the cloud and examine the deployment and release management workflows adopted in hybrid environments and the hybrid solution features that help deliver consistent release experiences.

Next, you'll create automated continuous integration and release management workflows using AWS, plan releases using AWS CodeStar, and automate deployments to release enterprise applications. You'll configure Azure DevOps Server to automate the deployment of applications in the cloud and use the Deployment Manager to manage deployments and release cycles. Finally, you'll configure IncrediBuild Hybrid Cloud to enable automatic releases.
