“…In [5], the authors interviewed 14 professors to obtain challenges and best practices in DevOps courses and highlighted the recommendation of "Teaching method based on practical activities". In [12], Henrik endorses the recommendation previously stated in [5] and proposes a story-telling approach, defining a scaled-down but realistic context/project in which learning topics are introduced as a response to realistic requirements in several iterations of increasing complexity. In [13], Mason et al describe the development of an application with DevOps principles and the only contact with reality comes from DevOps experts who reviewed the students' work.…”

“…In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of undergraduate courses focused on DevOps [5], [6], [7], as noted in the last (draft) version of the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK 1 ). To cover the technical and non-technical aspects of DevOps effectively, many of these courses adopt active learning strategies [8] that aim to narrow the gap between software engineering education and industry demands [9].…”

“…To cover the technical and non-technical aspects of DevOps effectively, many of these courses adopt active learning strategies [8] that aim to narrow the gap between software engineering education and industry demands [9]. However, balancing DevOps theory and practice, teaching DevOps culture, and staying up-to-date with industrial DevOps tools, are challenging issues [5]. To address these challenges, the best practices include teaching a DevOps mindset through a strategy based on practical activities.…”

The rapidly changing software industry presents challenges in teaching software engineering concepts and skills, especially in the area of DevOps. This encompasses both technical aspects, such as pipeline automation, and non-technical ones, such as culture, principles, and team interaction modes. This presents a significant challenge and there is high demand for skilled DevOps practitioners. To address these challenges, we propose a teaching strategy for DevOps that is based on real-world experiences from companies adopting DevOps and real projects. The strategy incorporates two teaching techniques: Research-based Teaching and Open Source Software projects. Our findings can help educators effectively plan, implement, and evaluate DevOps courses. The results also highlight several opportunities for practitioners to benefit from academic environments and experiment with new ideas to train abilities expected in new hires.

“…Fernandes et al have studied DevOps challenges and recommendations for teaching DevOps. They initially performed a literature review, and after that, they performed an interview study with 14 DevOps educators from different universities [Fernandes et al 2022]. They identified 83 challenges and over 180 recommendations.…”

DevOps has reached the mainstream, in part, because it proposed a way to solve the last mile of the software delivery process. It brought to the industry concrete solutions to some concerns that software engineering and academia have traditionally ignored. The popularity and success of DevOps got the attention of the academia and some universities have started to include DevOps related content in their programs. After doing our own experience, we found out that introducing DevOps is not as simple as adding a new course. In fact, it requires a major redesign of the Software Engineering curriculum. In this article we share some key ideas and recommendations to include DevOps in Software Engineering programs.
