The course is a collection of DevOps practices and exercises that will teach learners how to use three of the most important DevOps tools: Docker, Git, and Jenkins. Each set of katas will introduce the learners to the tool and its usage. 

The katas build on each other, so that after you're finished, you will have created a complete Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery pipeline. Through these katas, you will learn to tackle common challenges, optimize workflows, and enhance collaboration between development and operations teams. 

Each katas focuses on specific DevOps practices, enabling readers to gain valuable insights and proficiency in implementing DevOps methodologies effectively. With its interactive approach, the course empowers learners to build a solid foundation in DevOps and foster continuous improvement within their organizations.

DevOps Katas: Mastering DevOps Practices

We’ve all probably learned to ride a bike, drive a car, play an instrument, or acquire some similar skill that required us to practice. What were those experiences like?  To those who learned to ride a bike: what did you do first?  Did you attend a class?  Did your parents spend a few hours explaining gyroscopic forces? 

Not likely. It’s far more likely that they got up on the bike, pedaled a few times, and stopped. They probably did that many times. They may have even fallen off, got back up, dusted themselves off, and tried again.  Essentially, they practiced first.

In this course, katas are designed around this practice-first principle. Rather than spending whole chapters on the theory, we’ll dive straight into the commands, then immediately explain those commands. Each kata is short, usually about 10 to 15 commands.  This allows us to practice them quickly, which means we can practice often.  The regular repetition of the commands has a reinforcing effect, helping us retain the lessons the katas are designed to teach.

A **kata** is a short exercise, broken into steps.  Katas are designed to be quick to learn and practice. The purpose of these katas is to help us not only learn how to use DevOps-related tools, but to retain that learning. Even experienced DevOps engineers don't use every tool every day. Regular practice with katas will help us keep learning while we get on with other daily tasks.
