AWS DevOps Course Syllabus: 12 Modules from Linux to a Live Project

All 12 modules of the ASTI AWS DevOps course, from Linux to a live project, and how they map to the DOP-C02 exam.

By admin Updated 4 min read

Short answer: The ASTI AWS DevOps course in Bangalore has 12 modules. It runs from DevOps and cloud basics, Linux and scripting, through Git, core AWS services, CI/CD, Docker and Kubernetes on AWS, infrastructure as code, monitoring and security, and ends with a live project and interview preparation. The course is 70% practical and 30% theory, and you can take it in the BTM 1st Stage classroom or live online.

This page explains what each module covers and how the modules fit together. It follows the syllabus on the AWS DevOps course page, which is the current version if anything here differs. If you are still deciding whether DevOps is right for you, start with the AWS DevOps roadmap for beginners.

12 Live Project & Interview Preparation End-to-end pipeline project, mock interviews

How the modules build on each other

  1. Foundations (modules 1–3). Almost every DevOps task runs on Linux and is automated with scripts, so these come first.
  2. Source control (module 4). Every pipeline starts when code is pushed to a repository. The course teaches Git with GitHub. AWS also offers its own Git service, AWS CodeCommit, which AWS reopened to new customers in November 2025.
  3. AWS infrastructure (modules 5–6). You learn the services your applications run on, and how to keep them running when a server fails or traffic grows.
  4. Delivery (modules 7–9). You automate build, test and deployment, then package applications as containers and run them on ECS and EKS.
  5. Operations (modules 10–11). You define infrastructure as code so environments can be rebuilt the same way every time. Then you monitor, secure and troubleshoot what you have deployed.
  6. Proof (module 12). A live project ties every stage together into something you can demonstrate and explain in an interview.
  1. CodeGit and GitHub
  2. BuildJenkins or AWS Code services
  3. PackageDocker image
  4. DeployECS or EKS
  5. MonitorCloudWatch
The live project follows this pipeline from the first commit to monitoring in production.

How the syllabus maps to the AWS certification

The course is not an official AWS training programme, and AWS certification exams are booked directly with AWS. The topics overlap with the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional (DOP-C02) exam. AWS recommends two or more years of hands-on experience before you attempt it. The exam has 65 scored questions and needs a scaled score of 750 out of 1,000 to pass.

DOP-C02 domain (weight) Where it appears in the course
SDLC Automation (22%) Modules 4, 7, 8, 9
Configuration Management and IaC (17%) Module 10
Resilient Cloud Solutions (15%) Module 6
Monitoring and Logging (15%) Module 11
Incident and Event Response (14%) Modules 11 and 12
Security and Compliance (17%) Modules 5 and 11

If you are a fresher, an associate-level AWS exam may be a more realistic first step, with DOP-C02 later once you have work experience. Always check the current exam guide on the AWS website before you book.

Who this syllabus suits

  • Freshers and graduates with basic computer skills
  • System administrators, support engineers and testers moving into DevOps
  • Developers who want to own deployment and operations

Knowing basic Linux helps but is not required. Module 2 starts from the commands. If you are also comparing development tracks, see which software course to choose.

What changed in this syllabus

We rewrote this page in October 2026 to match the current 12-module course. The older version leaned heavily on AWS-only tools. The current course also teaches Jenkins, GitHub, Kubernetes on EKS and Ansible, which are widely used alongside AWS in real DevOps teams.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the ASTI AWS DevOps course?

The course page lists 4.5 months, Monday to Saturday. A career advisor can confirm current batch timings, including weekend options.

Do I need programming knowledge?

No. Basic computer skills are enough. Shell and Python scripting are taught in module 3.

Is this course enough to pass DOP-C02?

The course covers the main exam domains, but DOP-C02 is a professional-level exam and AWS recommends two or more years of hands-on experience. Treat the course as your foundation, not a guarantee of passing.

Does the course include a project?

Yes. Module 12 is a live project with interview preparation, and every topic has assignments.

Is placement guaranteed?

No. ASTI provides placement assistance, including resume building, interview preparation and job opportunities. Placement assistance does not guarantee a job.
