    The Capabilities You Will BuildIn DevOps Master Training

    DevOps Master training builds advanced delivery, measurement and transformation skills mapped to the six EXIN DevOps Master topic areas. By the end of the programme, you can design continuous delivery pipelines, measure performance and lead DevOps change with confidence.

    Implement Continuous Delivery Pipelines

    Skills covered in DevOps Master start with building continuous delivery: design CI/CD pipelines, apply infrastructure as code, automate testing, and use deployment strategies such as blue/green, canary and feature flags for fast, reliable releases.

    Design a Scalable DevOps Architecture

    Select and integrate the DevOps toolchain, apply Git branching strategies, and design for containers, Kubernetes, cloud-native delivery, DevSecOps and observability so delivery scales safely across teams.

    Improve Products and Processes

    Apply continuous improvement through value stream mapping, PDCA, feedback loops and blameless post-mortems to remove waste, reduce technical debt and shorten the path from idea to production.

    Measure with Lean and DORA Metrics

    Use Lean principles, monitoring and the four DORA metrics, deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate and MTTR, alongside SLIs, SLOs and error budgets to make delivery performance visible.

    Lead DevOps Cultural Change

    Apply the Three Ways of DevOps and the CALMS framework to break down silos, design cross-functional teams and lead transformation that balances delivery speed with reliability.

    Assess DevOps Maturity

    Use maturity models and assessments to benchmark teams, identify high-impact improvement priorities, and build a practical roadmap that tracks progress against industry benchmarks over time.
