Simplilearn Partners with Virginia Tech to Launch A Certificate Program in Cloud Computing and DevOps

PLANO, Texas, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Simplilearn, a global leader in digital upskilling, today announced the launch of its Cloud Computing and DevOps Certification Program in partnership with Virginia Tech. The program is curated to train professionals with the skills needed for multi-cloud environments, DevOps practices, and new technologies such as Generative AI in cloud systems. It offers strong academics with hands-on learning to help learners design, deploy, and manage modern cloud infrastructure and automation workflows.

Cloud computing and DevOps are reshaping how businesses approach technology. Today, 96% of companies use public cloud platforms, and 99% of surveyed organizations report that DevOps has had a positive effect on their organizations. Many organizations report faster time-to-market and measurable returns from cloud and DevOps transformation, underscoring the growing need for skilled cloud and DevOps professionals.

The program is carefully curated to address this growing skills gap by providing end-to-end exposure to leading cloud platforms, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as real-world DevOps implementation practices. Learners will experience a blended learning approach that combines live sessions led by instructors, official on-demand content from AWS and Microsoft Azure, sandboxed lab environments, and opportunities to collaborate with peers and attend masterclass by Virginia Tech instructors. Learners will complete over 150 hours of learning, supported by more than 30 hands-on projects, over 200 guided practice tests, and interactive labs that mimic real enterprise cloud and DevOps settings.

The curriculum takes learners from the fundamentals of cloud computing to the design of cloud architectures and the management of the DevOps lifecycle, on premise and on cloud. It covers key practices such as CI/CD pipelines, containerization with Docker, orchestration with Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code, while also introducing emerging areas like AIOps, MLOps, DevSecOps, GitOps, edge computing, and generative AI on cloud platforms. To bring these skills together, learners complete a capstone project that simulates real-world cloud and DevOps scenarios. This hands-on experience helps them build a professional portfolio aligned with industry expectations.
