Course Overview

DevOps is a set of practices, tools, and a cultural philosophy that automates and integrates the processes between software development and IT teams. The market size for DevOps exceeded $7 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 20% from 2022 to 2028 to a value of over $30 billion.

In 2019, the unemployment rate for DevOps engineers was less than 2% (1.88%), down from a peak of 4.56% in 2010. With the increasing demand for DevOps engineers, the unemployment rate of DevOps engineers is going to further reduce in the coming years.
