Hands-on learning

What you'll build

3 industry capstone projects · built from scratch · yours to keep

01

Enterprise CI/CD Platform with Multi-Account Deployment

Build a CodePipeline that builds a Docker image, runs SAST scans with CodeBuild, publishes to ECR, and deploys across Development, Staging, and Production accounts using CloudFormation StackSets and cross-account IAM roles. Implement canary deployments with CodeDeploy and automatic rollback on CloudWatch alarm thresholds.

CodePipeline CodeBuild CodeDeploy ECR ECS CloudFormation IAM CloudWatch
02

Automated Incident Response System

Design an auto-remediation framework: EventBridge rules detect CloudWatch alarms and Security Hub findings, trigger Lambda functions to take corrective actions (restart unhealthy instances, rotate credentials, isolate compromised EC2), and publish incident tickets to Systems Manager OpsCenter. Implement runbook automation with SSM Documents.

EventBridge Lambda SSM Automation CloudWatch Security Hub SNS Step Functions
03

Policy-as-Code Governance Platform

Implement a governance framework using AWS Config custom rules (Lambda-backed) to enforce tagging, encryption, and region restrictions across 3 AWS accounts. Use CloudFormation Guard for pre-deployment template validation, and set up Config Aggregator to report compliance status centrally.

AWS Config Lambda CloudFormation Guard Organizations SCP CloudWatch SNS

Plus 16 guided mini-projects across the curriculum — Q&A bots, resume screeners, SQL helpers, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which certifications should I have before attempting DOP-C02?

AWS recommends holding either the Developer Associate or SysOps Administrator Associate before the Professional exam. 2+ years of hands-on AWS DevOps experience is strongly recommended.

What makes this a Professional-level exam?

The DOP-C02 tests scenario-based decision-making across complex multi-account environments, CI/CD pipeline design, compliance automation at scale, and cost-optimised architecture — requiring both breadth and depth.

How many questions does the exam have?

75 questions (multiple choice and multiple response) in 180 minutes, with a passing score of 750 out of 1000. Questions are scenario-heavy and test architectural trade-offs.

Is CloudFormation heavily tested?

Yes. CloudFormation is one of the highest-weighted topics — cfn-init, cfn-signal, nested stacks, StackSets, CloudFormation Guard, drift detection, and change sets are all tested in depth.

Does the course cover multi-account AWS Organizations setups?

Yes. Multi-account strategies, Service Control Policies (SCPs), AWS Config Aggregators, CloudFormation StackSets across OUs, and centralised logging patterns are core topics.

What deployment strategies are covered?

Blue-green, canary, linear, rolling, and all-at-once deployments are covered for EC2 (CodeDeploy), ECS (CodeDeploy), Lambda (alias traffic shifting), and Elastic Beanstalk — with hands-on labs for each.
