Scaler, today launched a new upskilling programme for IT professionals looking to specialise in DevOps and cloud computing. The curriculum has been carefully designed after research conducted with more than 100 senior DevOps leaders in the industry, as per the press release.
The press release from the company further mentioned that the curriculum covers topics essential to these roles, including Python, Data Structures and Algorithms, DevOps Tools and AWS and provides numerous real-world assignments to facilitate hands-on learning.
Further enrollment in the programme requires no prior coding experience and is open to beginners with an interest in entering the industry as a DevOps engineer or a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE). The course will run for a duration of 12 months and will equip learners for positions across the following categories: DevOps Engineer, Cloud Engineer and Cloud Associate. The programme also offers optional electives that will prepare learners for SRE, Infrastructure and Platform Engineering roles.
The role of DevOps in the tech landscape has only grown in significance in the years since its inception. In the last phase of 2023 alone, India saw a 60% surge in demand for DevOps roles, with 75% of companies in the industry hiring for these roles. A 70% increase in developer productivity was also witnessed in this time period. Noting these market trends, Scaler has designed the DevOps & Cloud Computing program to equip learners with the relevant skills that will help them become proficient and competitive in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
“A DevOps engineer serves as the vital bridge between software development and IT operations. The growing demand for DevOps and SRE is a testament to its necessity in modern technology environments, with companies willing to pay between INR 8 Lakhs and INR 15 Lakhs per annum and beyond to competent experts. We are pleased to offer this program, crafted in consultation with senior professionals, to help learners progress in their careers. At Scaler, it is our mission to empower learners and bridge the gap between industry demand and talent scarcity. We are confident that the introduction of our new DevOps and Cloud Computing program will do just that by training engineers to thrive and flourish in this critical and rapidly evolving field,” Abhimanyu Saxena, co-founder, InterviewBit and Scaler, said.
