DevSecOps with Azure
The DevSecOps with AWS course trains you to integrate robust security practices into your development and deployment pipelines. It prepares you for future development by combining automated security controls with AWS cloud services, ensuring resilient and secure applications.
Flow Chart
For a DevSecOps with Azure Cloud course, the flow chart for learning skills could look like this
