Key training modules
Comprehensive, hands-on modules designed to take you from basics to advanced concepts
- Module 1: Microsoft Copilot for DevOps (Where It Fits and Why It Matters)
- What Microsoft Copilot is (conceptual overview and capabilities)
- Where Copilot helps DevOps teams (speed, consistency, troubleshooting)
- Copilot usage across DevOps lifecycle (plan → build → deploy → operate)
- What Copilot cannot do (limitations, verification mindset)
- Hands-on: Activity: Identify 10 DevOps tasks you can accelerate using Copilot in your team
- Module 2: Using Copilot in Azure DevOps and GitHub Workflows
- Copilot in GitHub workflow (PRs, checks, collaboration)
- Copilot for Azure DevOps pipelines (YAML creation and fixes)
- Using Copilot to generate README and runbook documentation
- Structured output formats for DevOps deliverables (YAML, markdown, scripts)
- Hands-on: Lab: Generate a CI workflow and improve it for readability and maintainability using Copilot
- Module 3: Prompting for DevOps Outcomes (Context, Constraints, Output Specs)
- Prompt structure for DevOps tasks (requirements, inputs, assumptions)
- Adding constraints (tools, versions, environments, security rules)
- Requesting deterministic formats (YAML, bash, PowerShell, Terraform)
- Iteration workflow (draft → validate → refine)
- Hands-on: Workshop: Write 10 high-quality prompts for pipelines, scripts, IaC, and troubleshooting
- Module 4: Generating Automation Artifacts (YAML, Scripts, Starter IaC)
- Generating Azure DevOps YAML pipeline templates
- Generating automation scripts (bash, PowerShell, Python) for ops tasks
- Generating starter IaC templates (Terraform/Bicep concept)
- Refactoring output into reusable modules and scripts
- Hands-on: Lab: Generate Azure DevOps pipeline YAML + deployment script and validate it end-to-end
- Module 5: Troubleshooting DevOps Failures with Copilot (Real Scenarios)
- Debugging pipeline failures using logs and error patterns
- Fixing broken YAML (syntax, indentation, variables, conditions)
- Authentication and permission issues (service connections, tokens concepts)
- Deployment failures troubleshooting (timeouts, incorrect configs, missing artifacts)
- Hands-on: Lab: Break a pipeline intentionally and use Copilot to debug and fix it step-by-step
- Module 6: Enterprise Security Practices (Safe Defaults and Least Privilege)
- Secrets handling practices (never hardcode, use secret stores)
- Least privilege automation (scoped permissions for pipelines)
- Secure defaults in scripts and YAML (fail fast, validate inputs)
- Preventing insecure changes (review and approval patterns)
- Hands-on: Lab: Harden a pipeline by adding secrets best practices and restricted permissions
- Module 7: Reusable Templates and Standard Workflows (Scaling DevOps Automation)
- Building standardized pipeline templates for common workflows
- Parameterization strategy (env, versions, paths, approvals)
- Reusable steps and tasks (shared pipeline patterns concept)
- Governance and auditability (who changes templates and how)
- Hands-on: Workshop: Create a reusable pipeline template for build + deploy with approvals
- Module 8: Capstone Project (End-to-End DevOps Automation with Copilot)
- Capstone goal: Deliver a complete DevOps automation workflow with Copilot support
- Build pipeline (lint, test, artifact publish)
- Deploy pipeline (environment approval gate, rollout strategy)
- Troubleshoot and fix at least 2 injected failures
- Deliver documentation (pipeline README + runbook + troubleshooting notes)
- Hands-on: Capstone Lab: Build and demo the end-to-end workflow with evidence of Copilot-assisted improvements
