This Master's Degree program also included several hand's on classes such as Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery, and Deploying Cloud Infrastructure. Best of all, I was able to actually use what I had learned to create a Multi-tier Microservice Application using a combination of different open-source projects and a public cloud storage and public cloud compute providers to plan, build and deploy an actual product using Agile methods.
