In this hands-on course, you'll dive deep into the world of advanced deployment strategies. You'll learn how to revolutionize your software quality with Shift-Right-Testing and modern release techniques like Feature Flags, Canary Releases, and Blue/Green Deployments, managed by Argo CD and Argo Rollouts, while minimizing deployment risks.

Advanced deployment strategies are the key to successful software releases in modern cloud environments. Forget synthetic data and isolated testing environments. We dive into the real world of production, where real users generate real data. You'll learn how to harness this dynamic to identify errors early, optimize the user experience, and make releases safer and more efficient.

In the intensive days, you will not only understand the theory behind Shift-Right-Testing and advanced deployment strategies, but also gain hands-on experience with Argo Rollouts, Argo Workflows, Prometheus, and Grafana. You will learn to implement automated rollbacks, conduct experiments in production, and make data-driven decisions.

This course is ideal for developers, testers, and DevOps experts who want to take their skills in Continuous Delivery and software quality to the next level. Discover how to use advanced deployment strategies to transform your production environment into a competitive advantage and delight your customers with faster, more stable, and more innovative releases.
