DevOps - DOI Trainings

DevOps Institute (DOI): the enterprise DevOps transformation framework

DevOps Institute (DOI) is the international reference body structuring non-technical DevOps certifications, oriented towards culture, organisation and transformation. Its paths (DevOps Foundation, DevOps Leader, SRE Foundation, DevSecOps Foundation) constitute a common framework to align CIOs, CISOs, transformation managers and platform teams on DevOps principles: automation, collaboration, measurement, sharing, continuous integration, continuous deployment, observability, integrated security. Where tool certifications (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform) cover technical expertise, DOI brings the cultural and organisational reading grid indispensable to lead a successful DevOps transformation.

In French-speaking Switzerland, Geneva private banks, international organisations, telecom operators, scale-ups, large IT service companies, university hospitals and cantonal administrations adopt DOI frameworks to structure their DevOps transformations, professionalise their platform teams and align IT direction and business lines. ITTA offers official DOI certifications: DevOps Foundation, DevOps Leader, SRE Foundation, DevSecOps Foundation. Our training is delivered by accredited DevOps Institute trainers active on DevOps transformations in French-speaking Switzerland.

Following a DOI certification opens access to high-value roles: DevOps coach, transformation manager, DevOps project manager, SRE engineer, DevSecOps engineer, platform lead, DevOps architect, DevSecOps-oriented CISO. DOI certifications usefully complement Scrum (Scrum.org, Scrum Alliance), SAFe (Scaled Agile) and ITIL on the IT service management side, by bringing the transformation and DevOps culture dimension.

Whether you are a CIO structuring a DevOps transformation, a manager taking responsibility for a platform team, an SRE engineer formalising reliability practices, a security engineer integrating security into the pipeline (DevSecOps), or a consultant supporting clients, our DOI training in Geneva and Lausanne covers the full path.

The ITTA DevOps Institute catalogue

DevOps Foundation

DevOps Foundation – DOI is the natural entry for any profile understanding DevOps principles. The programme covers fundamentals: business value, culture (CALMS: Culture, Automation, Lean, Measurement, Sharing), Lean and Agile principles, continuous integration, continuous deployment, observability, incident management, DORA metrics, team organisation, transformation. It is the common foundation of all DOI paths and a widely used tool certification to align a team on DevOps vocabulary and principles.

DevOps Leader

DevOps Leader – DOI targets managers, project managers and transformation leaders. The programme goes beyond principles: change management, DevOps organisation design (teams, value streams, platforms, enablement), business and operational metrics, governance, DevOps portfolio management, cultural coaching. This certification is particularly valued for profiles piloting a DevOps transformation at organisational scale.

SRE Foundation

SRE Foundation (Site Reliability Engineering) structures the SRE discipline inherited from Google and adopted by many cloud-mature organisations. The programme covers key concepts: Service Level Objectives (SLO), Service Level Indicators (SLI), error budgets, toil, incident management, blameless postmortem, capacity planning, observability. This certification targets SRE engineers, platform engineers and operational leads formalising reliability practices.

DevSecOps Foundation

DevSecOps Foundation structures the integration of security into the DevOps pipeline: shift-left security, threat modeling, SAST/SCA/DAST/IAST, secrets management, container and orchestration security, compliance as code, supply chain security. This certification targets security engineers, DevOps-oriented CISOs and platform engineers industrialising security by design.

DevOps Institute and the publisher ecosystem at ITTA

DevOps Institute fits into a broader transformation and management ecosystem. The DevOps and development sub-domain covers technical skills (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins). The DevOps sub-domain (management parent) regroups DOI and DASA certifications. Agile Methodology covers Scrum, Kanban and SAFe, complementary to DevOps. ITIL covers IT service management, often combined with DevOps in transformation contexts. DevOps – DASA is the complementary body (DevOps Agile Skills Association), with a more team-practice oriented approach.

DevOps Institute trends in 2026

DevOps Institute consolidates its transformation framework role in 2026. DevOps Foundation remains the most distributed entry certification. DevSecOps Foundation gains strong visibility in a context where security by design and supply chain security become critical (following SolarWinds, Log4j, XZ Utils incidents, etc.). SRE Foundation imposes itself in cloud-native organisations formalising their observability practices, error budgets and incident management. The integration of DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) metrics into organisational evaluations becomes standard. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates these evolutions to remain aligned with current practices.

FAQ

Which DOI certification to choose to start?

DevOps Foundation is the natural entry for any profile discovering DevOps on the management or transformation side. It is the common foundation of all DOI paths. Profiles already comfortable with DevOps principles piloting a transformation can start directly with DevOps Leader. For reliability-oriented engineers, SRE Foundation is the target. Our pedagogical team guides you according to your role.

DOI or DASA: which to choose?

Both bodies are complementary and recognised. DOI has a broader approach (management, transformation, leadership, SRE, DevSecOps). DASA has a more team-practice oriented approach (Fundamentals, Product Owner, Specialist). Many organisations combine both: DOI for managers and leaders, DASA for operational teams. Our catalogue covers both bodies.

Are DOI certifications useful on the technical side?

DOI certifications do not replace technical certifications (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Jenkins). They bring the cultural, organisational and transformation reading grid, indispensable to align teams and pilot change. Technical engineers particularly benefit from DevOps Foundation to understand the managerial context of their work.

Are your DOI courses available for companies?

Yes, the entire DevOps Institute catalogue is available in-house, in Geneva, Lausanne and in virtual classroom, with a programme adapted to your transformation context (DevOps maturity, organisation, platforms, governance, security). Our team builds the specifications with you and organises sessions according to your calendar.
