The IBM DevOps and Software Engineering Professional Certificate lasts 6 months and focuses on:

  • User story
  • Continuous integration
  • Application deployment

It uses tools like Python, Pandas, Numpy, Git, GitHub, Docker, and Kubernetes.

In contrast, the IBM Applied DevOps Engineering Professional Certificatespans 3 months and emphasizes:

  • Cloud applications
  • Agile software development
  • OWASP

It includes tools such as Python, Excel, Power BI, Git, GitHub, Docker, and Kubernetes.

Both courses target cloud engineers and data analysts with a high overlap in skills, but differ in duration and specific areas of focus. Choose based on whether you prefer:

  • The DevOps and Software Engineering certificate for a comprehensive approach to devops fundamentals
  • The Applied DevOps certificate for a faster-paced program with a focus on cloud applications and agile methodologies.‎

Start by identifying whether you’re aiming to enter DevOps from IT or development, build CI/CD pipelines, work with cloud infrastructure, or prepare for a DevOps engineer role.

  • For a full beginner-to-job-ready path, try the IBM Applied DevOps Engineering Professional Certificate.
  • Want to build CI/CD pipelines or learn containers? Explore Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment by Edureka.
  • Interested in the cloud side of DevOps? Try Google Cloud DevOps and SRE.‎
  • A course focuses on a single tool or concept—like Monitoring and Observability for Development and DevOps.
  • A Specialization includes several related courses that build on each other—such as Python Scripting for DevOps Specialization.
  • A Professional Certificate prepares you for a DevOps role with career-aligned skills, hands-on labs, and projects—like the IBM DevOps and Software Engineering Certificate, which covers Agile, containers, microservices, and CI/CD.‎

Yes. You can start learning DevOps on Coursera for free in two ways:
