Introduction
Hands-on certification for DevOps, SREs, and engineering managers that covers key platform engineering principles and practical frameworks like Platform as a Product, adoption strategies, best practices on selling platform initiatives internally.
Unlike other programs, this certification blends technical, product, and business frameworks so you can actually build and scale a successful platform initiative, not just understand the tech.
As Platform engineering has matured over the last few years, it has evolved into the foundational operating system of the modern enterprise. Much like software fundamentally reshaped nearly every industry, platform engineering is now transforming software development itself, streamlining operations, and redefining traditional IT roles at an unprecedented pace.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledge you need to get a job as a platform engineer, ensure that you understand the best practices and fundamentals of platform engineering to build a successful platform engineering initiative and get yourself promoted or successfully lead your platform engineering team and initiative You’ll also gain all the knowledge and resources you need to convince your boss, and other key stakeholders of the benefits of platform engineering.
