How is DASA DevOps Fundamentals 2.0.0 Syllabus different from the previous version 1.0.4?
The primary impact is on the course structure or content flow. The previous version was structured around how DevOps redefines the IT aspects: Processes, Organization, Culture, and Automation. The 2.0.0 version is structured more like a journey for a DevOps professional: Setting the DevOps Context; DevOps for Individuals; DevOps for Teams and Organizations; and the next steps.
Other than the structure, some of the concepts are added (such as DevOps at Scale), updated (such as ITIL), and removed (such as the Three Horizons Model).
