An Expert-Level Look at DevOps Strategy This isn't just about clicking "deploy." It's about building systems that don't break. This program is for pros who already know the Azure basics and are ready to take charge of the whole process. You’ll learn to build "security-first" environments where speed and safety go together.
Skills You’ll Own:
- Building Modern Pipelines:
Design solid CI/CD workflows using Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions. Learn to automate everything from the first code commit to the final release. - Infrastructure as Code (IaC):
Stop fixing servers by hand. We’ll show you how to use ARM, Bicep, and Terraform to deploy identical, perfect environments every single time. - DevSecOps & Staying Compliant:
Security shouldn’t be a hurdle at the end. You’ll learn to bake security scanning and compliance checks right into your pipelines, catching problems before they ever go live. - Advanced Monitoring:
Use Azure Monitor and Application Insights to keep a constant eye on your apps. Learn to use the data to fix issues before your users even realize something is wrong. - Risk-Free Releases:
Master high-level moves like Blue-Green and Canary deployments. You'll learn how to roll out new features with zero risk and zero downtime.

The AZ-400 DevOps Engineer Expert is a senior-level role designed for:
- Azure Admins (AZ-104): Ready to automate their work and lead big teams.

I was lucky to get an excellent trainer. Super knowledgeable and patient. Giving 4-stars only because Sprintzeal comes across as disjointed upon introduction. For example, two sales reps reached out to me at the same time and then I felt passed off. More visibility into who is doing what and their role would be helpful.

I had the pleasant opportunity to follow the lessons of Toshal K. for the AWS Cloud Architect Associate, each explanation of the topics in the reference manual was followed by a meticulous investigation through the step-by-step creation of the inherent procedures. Overall, although I have not yet taken the exam, I can call it an extremely satisfying experience thanks to the availability and closeness of all staff members.

The support staff from Sprintzeal,Steve Jones, were very supportive in making this decision to take the PMP certification course. The course was very affordable and I was given an additional incentive to take another course which would supplement my knowledge which was the Agile course.
I was thinking about studying on my own for the exam but decided to sign up for the course on Sprintzeal to ensure that the material that I needed to study was accurate and efficient. I didn't want to waste anytime on taking the exam multiple times to pass due to being ill-prepared. The instructor Biswa, was great in covering what to know for the exam and I feel that the material he provided will prepare me to pass the exam my first time with confidence. Thank you for this opportunity and I look forward to taking more certification courses through Sprintzeal.

Tarun was honestly the best trainer/coach that I've had in 20 years in the IT profession. He covered the EA/TOGAF material and had real life examples to make everything completely understandable. He listened to my professional concerns and questions and offered advice/suggestions from his years of experience. He genuinely cared about my understanding and was truly a mentor in so many areas related to EA and beyond enterprise architecture. His willingness to share his experiences and his passion to help others grow was very evident and so appreciated. Thank you so very much for the awesome week!

Great practical application and 1-1 training
The training was virtual and thus I was expecting a 'room' full of people. However it was just the instructor (Sonu Verma) and I. This made it much easier to tailor the instruction to my background and learning style and to go faster through material that I was already comfortable with.

I have attended ITIL® 4 Foundation by Sprintzeal that was really helpful to get introduction to the matter and get prepared to the exam. The trainer has demonstrated his ability to emphasize the most crucial points of ITIL 4, the communication was easy and straight forward, all the queries have been answered properly with real life examples.

Understood the ITIL concepts very clearly. The trainer's faculty was so polite and ground to earth while explaining the concept and answering all the questions asked by the participants.
It’s a big jump. Associate exams test if you know the tools; the AZ-400 tests if you can design a strategy. It’s very scenario-based and asks you to think like a DevOps lead. It’s a challenge, but our labs are built to make sure you’re ready for it.
Microsoft wants to make sure every AZ-400 DevOps Engineer Expert has a solid foundation first. You can’t automate a system you don’t understand, so having that Associate-level knowledge is a must.
Definitely. The AZ-400 certification is one of the most respected names in the cloud. It tells everyone you aren’t just an "implementer"—you’re an architect. That’s what usually triggers the jump to a senior salary.
Even for pros, we suggest 1 to 3 months of focused study. Our boot camp gives you the map, but you’ll want to spend time with our practice tests and labs to really make those expert patterns stick.
It stays valid for one year. But renewal is easy and free—you just pass a short, online assessment on Microsoft Learn every year to show you’re still up-to-date with the latest Azure DevOps changes.
